crackedhalo11 BLOOD SAND (a.k.a. THE SAND) actually has a fairly decent set-up for a "chamber piece" horror film -- Steal the hook from cult classic BLOOD BEACH and use the set-up from "The Raft" sequence from CREEPSHOW 2; the result is a group of swimwear-clad "hotties" trapped by killer sand that swallows you up... The problem lies in execution and the fact that this is not made by a true horror fan, just somebody using the popular sub-genre to further the career... Because of this, the result is the worst tropes these films have to offer -- Stale, unlikeable characters, generic (and probably ad-libbed) dialogue, nonsensical behavior (Hey, let's bring that big, slimy egg thing back to the party!!!!) and (for the most part) atrocious CGI in lieu of any attempts at practical effects... Throw in a painfully unfunny cameo by Jamie Kennedy and you have this turd.The irony in all this is that as much as I hate remakes (especially horror remakes) I've always felt the original BLOOD BEACH should get a remake. It's got a unique concept and some great moments... But it's also running time is heavily weighed down by a yawn-inducing romantic subplot. Still, it's ten times better than this junk.

one-nine-eighty The film is totally unforgettable, and not necessarily in a good way either. American collage kids celebrating graduation or spring break or something. After a night of sex, drugs and rock and roll... and a hell of a lot of alcohol, they awaken the next morning to a terror stalking them from the very sand that surrounds them. God awful acting with a terribly predictable script that goes nowhere, fails to state the obvious and totally misses the mark most of the time. The cgi is oh so cheap looking and would have been better using ceefax pages from the 80's/90's. I can only assume that this was made by kids for free rather than somebody funding and paying people to make this piece of ass, but unfortunately that's a sarcastic and unrealistic assumption. Seriously, make a video using your phone and then use freeware to edit at and do post-production, instantly you'll have made something better. I'm no stranger to B-movies, or C, D and Z-movies, I knew what to expect coming into this film but even still I was let down. I didn't enjoy this, unless it's used to torture me at some point I'd never watch this film again, if you want to do yourself a favour - avoid it.

fluffset I love to watch dead teenager movie, I dunno why but I think because its fun to watch. I never read any plot of the sand, I just watch it without nothing to expect and that's just my style. I love this movie! Its not really a good movie, its cliché but its still got the tension. This is a horror movie by the way so tension and suspense are really important here. I think I know why the rating is so low, its the same reason, people expecting too much and ended up frustrated. Its plot is not really idiot because its so hard to avoid the sand, so they also make us thinking so hard on how they can get out of this mess. They also make us care about some character and I'm sure some of us feel sad for some of the death. Then, this movie will be better if they got some more money for the cheap CGI. Only the CGI make this movie bad, other than that, the acting and everything is OK.

mauro volvox Take "The Sand" for what it is. And if you do that, it is a fun little flick.It is a B movie with minimal budget, minimal special effects, filmed in one location and with a cast of unknowns and still it has an interesting premise.I see it as a homage to the 50's man-in-a-rubber-suit monster film. And it works very well in this respect. The difference being that instead of a monsters something weird is crawling under the sand. It is a little bit longer that it should be, some of the characters are annoying, but still it is worth a rental
