More Review
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
thesummercain I never write reviews but his one definitely deserves a review. So the typical college aged kids have a party get super drunk and drugged out, finals a random egg looking thing and bring it to the party only to wake up to the sand being alive. Well it's a hour and a half of screeching (screaming) shooting acting, and dumb decisions. It finally gets to the end and they are about to survive but the lead decided to stop and say how much she loves the cheating boyfriend wasting times they make it into a car that clearly was working fine but don't try to start it to get out of there. Simply horrible ! Don't wait time. Better b movies.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Granted, this movie had score a relatively low rating here on IMDb, and I probably should take heed of that. But there was just something about the movie's cover with the tentacle that was alluring and interesting, and that made me actually sit down to watch this 2015 horror movie.Naturally I didn't have much of any expectations to the movie, because I had never heard about it prior to actually finding the movie.With this being your typical late-teen / young adult horror movie, then you can expect pointless and tacky nudity, which totally doesn't serve the movie in any way."The Sand" (aka "Killer Beach") actually starts out well enough and doesn't waste any time in establishing a backstory or such. So there is action from almost the very beginning of the movie. And there was no need to establish that, because you don't need to be particularly attached to the characters in the movie for it to work properly.The special effects and CGI in the movie were serving their purposes well enough, although you can clearly see that it is computer animated. Some of the CGI was actually downright laughable to witness. But still, it does look adequate enough, and it is much better than the special effects in many other horror movies.They actually had some fair acting talents in the movie. And I must admit that I wasn't familiar with anyone in the movie aside from Jamie Kennedy. Now, I can't claim to be a fan of Jamie Kennedy in any way, but he was actually cut out for this particular character. It should be said that people in the movie were actually doing good jobs with their given roles and characters.Writers Alex Greenfield and Ben Powell actually came up with an interesting concept for the plot and script. And I will say that the storyline was original, so that was a nice and fresh approach.The most disappointing aspect to the movie, aside from the questionable CGI effects, was that you had to wait almost to the very end of the movie before tentacles started to emerge from the sand. Up to that point it was small wriggling tendrils that emerged from the sand. I had expected more tentacle action from the movie, especially given the movie's cover. However, I will say that the fluorescent tentacle was really worth the wait, because that was cool and looked good.The atmosphere of the movie was good, and there was a real sense of dread and endangerment to the young people marooned on the beach.All in all, then I actually found "The Sand" to be an adequately entertaining movie, though it is hardly the type of movie that you will watch more than a single time - provided that you actually manage to sit through it the first time. My rating for "The Sand" is a mediocre five stars out of ten.
GL84 Awakening the morning after a beach-party, a group of teens find that the sand around them contains a vicious, unseen creature that pulls them underneath the beach and tries to find a way of stopping the curious creature in order to get away alive.This here was an incredibly fun and enjoyable effort. One of the best parts to this one is the fact that there's such an enjoyably creepy air of menace here that works very well in the film's favor, as it really manages to get a lot out of the concept here. The fact that it goes forward with the reveal very early-on with the creature's appearance to them underneath the sand, and there's a lot right about this that comes off rather chilling and creepy with the way this works here. The early scenes of the remaining group getting attacked and pulled under takes that concept out into the open rather well, and there's a lot of nice work here throughout this which really puts that to fine work. It has numerous scenes of the group getting stuck in the sand and then getting pulled under by the fine tentacles poking up to attack them, and the main sequences that stand out are the first few encounters where they don't know it's there as this pops off plenty of great deaths that really let their quick-strike ability and ruthlessness in attacking them are great fun. As it later descends into a series of scenes where they try to escape their predicament that ends up failing and causing them to fall into the sand to get devoured, it does have some solid action scenes as they try a series of rather solid and surprisingly plausible escapes which really help this one along here. While there's plenty to like here, it does have a few rather stylish flaws where it's dragged down a lot more than it really should've. The film's biggest issue is the monster effects here, which is all done in CGI that looks absolutely atrocious and never once looks quite lively at all, rarely meshing with the action of the scene here as it's quite low-res during them. By doing the whole amount of creature effects and the gore effects here for the mangled bodies while they're being eaten alive by the creatures, it gives this such a low-rent feel that there's almost little to save it overall and holds this back somewhat. The other minor issue to be had here is the weak storyline here, as though it's a chilling concept it feels way too weak and gets started so quickly anyway that it comes off as being too thin and stretched out way too much as it is, where it could've either given them a longer build-up to get going or just trimmed down into a shorter time as it's got plenty of moments that could've been made into a briefer time. Otherwise this one wasn't all that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and some excessive drinking.
Dnox It was not horrible but it wasn't great either, I probably could of found something better to watch. However,I watched it and the acting was mediocre, the plot was off putting to me for the most part, and seeing how long it took to make this really put things in prospective for me. Above anything else in the movie and everything else set aside, NO ONE picks up a slimy foreign object that needs two people to carry and that has never been seen, places it somewhere and forget about it 5 mins later. Moreover when the first character is suppose to die it would seem the second steals the spot light. More of a budget comedic horror film. I gave it a 4/10 cause it did keep me from being stupid bored.
