Red Sands

I really enjoyed this director's last movie, Dead Birds, so I had high expectations for this one. Hollywood lives to disappoint though and Red Sands is a complete letdown.

The setting is intriguing, the situation (a released djinn) promising, but the director doesn't deliver. Like a wounded snake the film drags its slow length along to an utterly predictable ending. The action is sparse, the suspense even sparser. The actors try their damnedest to inject some energy into this thing but like a balloon with a puncture they can huff and puff for all their might but it won't inflate.

All in all a sorry show. Let's hope the director can learn by the mistakes made here for we know he's capable of a lot better. 4/10

I thought that it was a decent movie. i wish there were more army/horror films it makes a good genre. overall acting is decent and storyline was a little slow but not bad by any means. i have read bad reviews all over the net for this film ,but i enjoyed this movie . it has great visuals and atmosphere that keep your interest throughout. so as you can tell i think everyone should watch this and see . i joined IMDb just so i could comment on this because i was going to watch this then all the sites i belong to had negative comments on it so i never watched , but then i got bored and finally watched it and i was impressed.

RED SANDS follows a group of soldiers stationed in the Iraqi desert, during their stay strange things begin to happen when a mysterious woman stumbles into their camp.

The film has a very slow pace, something one of my friends found extremely frustrating about this film, during the first act it seemed that the storyline was almost non existent up until the strange woman stumbles into the soldiers hideout, then after that the film started to build this very unsettling tension that has you thinking there's something out there but you just don't know what it is, and it also sets an unnerving mood with the soldiers slowly but surely beginning to lose it, the acting is good considering the minimal character development, the cast clearly didn't have much to work with but they pulled of a decent job.

Overall, a good movie if you're the patient kind, but I can say that a lot of people will find the slow pace rather frustrating, because most of the time it will feel like there's no storyline, but its there, like I said if you're the patient kind.

I just watch this movie and i thought its not bad much underrated movie but worth watch.Its mixture of horror plus thriller sequences.If you are fan of military movies with ghostly touch then i think it is treat for you.Writer came with fresh and new idea direction is also good.I think actors do their job well. A military mission sent, to set base camp in the heart of desert went horribly wrong when a young girl visits them.I think you must give it try on Saturday night.If you are bore of b grade movies then just give it a try.Its not based on afghan or Iraq war like so many other movies in the market but a story with fresh and new idea.The cgi techniques are good it could be better but i think with the budget director have.he make worth of it and came with the movie which i must say not bad,like many other low budget b grade movies.If you are free on Saturday night then give it a try.

well, being a horror movie buff, this movie was a great disappointment!! there was nothing that jumped out at me, from the comments made i decided to watch this movie and from the beginning it was boring and no plot!! i sat through this thinking it would get better but it just got worse!! it was slow, no action, or anything else as i continue to sit through it, my suggestion, don't waste your precious time on this ridiculous movie! i tried very hard to give this movie a chance and give it the benefit of the doubt, but honestly, watching as many movies as i have this one was so bad, i wish i could give it a better rating but i don't want to have someone like myself to waste there time and energy as trust me it was in fact one of the worst movies i have seen and i have seen some pretty bad ones, please don't waste your time!!!!!
