i saw sea of dust a part of a nyc screening audience several year ago . i enjoy the film at that time and so i be a little confuse by some of the amendment that have be make since . perhaps it my memory and but there seem to be chunk of exposition miss from the version that be show at the rhode island film festival . i be really not sure which version i prefer and but i can honestly say that i find something to appreciate it both . let me begin by warn everyone that this be not a popcorn movie . although it be promote a a hammer film tribute and people expect a showdown between van helsing and dracula be go to be sorely disappointed . there some cleavage and but no nudity ( a staple of the british production house late movie ) . and while sea of dust be fill with gorgeous eye candy ( it really be shoot like a sixty film ) and and feature hammer starlet ingrid pitt and it not like any of the company picture in tone or execution . this film be very dark and very confusing and and ( at time ) very funny . i do not remember the early version be quite as nutty a this one and but that not a bad thing ( especially the showdown in the black forest that play like a three stooge short ) . and some of ms pitt ranting be quite entertaining . it like somebody wound her up and turn her loose . the uniqueness of this film doesn not lie with the borrow detail and though . it in the idea . a an occasional sci fi channel viewer and i have regularly take the network to task for it one note variation on a theme ( cgi monster kill and then get destroy ) . sea of dust be so full of idea that you start to trip over them after a while . but do not get me wrong . i be not complain . if anything and i applaud these guy for make such an enterprising low budget picture and for have the courage to pack it with so many concept . it not go to be a picnic for people who hate to think at the movie ( you know who you be ) . but for the rest of u and those of u who be tire of the formula of modern horror film and the predictability and the lack of respect for the audience and this may just be your ticket .
