I watched it from beginning to end.I didn't have high expectations of the movie but the acting was good.No cardboard wooden acting.Its definitely NOT the worst movie of 2015.Talk about hyperbole.A group of young adults are trapped on a beach where something deadly has spawned overnight in the sand..There is some gore,not a lot.Its positively funny at times not because of cheese factor but because of some of the characters.Think Cabin Fever.The plot is thin but I watched it just to see who would survive.It tries to be more intelligent than it is but at the same time if you have a sense of humor..it makes light of itself at the right times too.I laughed out loud at a couple scenes.I really enjoyed The Sand,although it fails to be The Ruins or Don't Blink.If you like those movies you'll enjoy The Sand.Five stars for an enjoyable viewing experience.

A​ whole bunch of students get together for big beach party where they have to turn in their phones for a Vegas rules party. They don't want anybody recording something they shouldn't plus this gives the writer the opportunity to explain why they won't have their phones later on. You see where kids drag over a hideous pod type thing they find in the water. The morning after the party people wake up to realize everyone who was on the sand is gone. The first movie I thought of when watching this was Blood Beach(1980) which is similar with a hint of Sand Sharks(2011). This one entertains though. The plot may seem ridiculous but you are on the edge of your seat hoping they don't touch the sand because if any part of your body touches the sand the creature has you. This is where the CGI effects kicked in which sucked but the tension made up for the cheesy computer blood. People would have wondered what's going on watching them film this because seeing them trying different ways to cross the sand without touching it was funny like using surfboards and inflatable rafts plus the sand would suck them in after chewing for a bit. I mean we see the CGI and spectators wouldn't. You will enjoy this guilty pleasure but be warned it goes from tense moment to tense moment and try not to let to logic get in the way. 4/10.

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.

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.

THE SAND is, in essence, a film version of that 'floor is lava' game you used to play as a kid (you know, where you and your friends - or just you if you had no friends) weren't allowed to touch the floor because you'd die, so you had to clamber over furniture and jump a lot. Man, I used to love that game. Anyway, this cheapie has the same premise. A bunch of uninteresting characters are trapped on a beach with a killer creature in the sand. A bench, a lifeguard hut, a trash bin, and an open-top car are the only refuge. This single location movie sees them trying to figure out a way to escape without being eaten by a tentacled nasty.

This film's connections with the 1980s monster movie BLOOD BEACH are numerous, although it's much lower key and smaller scale, unsurprising given the lack of budget. Despite being a majorly flawed film, I still enjoyed it as I've always enjoyed similar single location movies. The acting is pretty bad and the CGI effects are really terrible (worse even than in an Asylum film) but THE SAND offers mild suspense all the way through and you can certainly do a lot worse.

The Plot After an all-night graduation beach party, a group of hung-over twenty-somethings awake to a beating sun, and a seemingly carnivorous beach that devours anything with a heartbeat that touches the sand.

OMG! First of all the only other review on this site is guy who give this 5 stars and he says in the review that he hasn't even seen the film!!!!

WHAT?

This film is trash and not in a good way. It sucks. The acting is horrible. But besides that the plot is completely idiotic. Nothing makes sense and it's just horrible.

And then we have the special effects -- or should I say lack of special effects. There is essentially NO special effects. And what there is looks like those first generation effects you see on DVD extras when they show you how horrible the effects look before they fix them up. You can actually see through what is supposed to be solid!!! It's the worst movie I have see in a decade.

A party on the beach takes a whole new turn when these two teens find an egg. The next day, it apparently hatches, and takes over the sand, devouring anybody who comes into contact with the sand. The plot was intriguing if it was SyFy TV movie standards, however it is not. I felt is if this was one of those plots that could've been much better, but when given, we get utter crap. The execution of this entire plot felt lazy, and slower than it really could've been. The characters we are given to follow through this entire movie were just annoying. The film tries passing them off as smart, or perhaps quick thinking, but in this case make them seem even more clichéd, and low-minded than usual. I don't mean to sound rude, but come on. The film passes them off as clichéd characters who try burning off movie runtime by bickering about the typical "You slept with my boyfriend" gimmick, usually seem in these horror films. With the characters, as if the clichéd, overly common characters weren't enough, try taking the horrible acting, and dialog why not? The acting in this movie isn't even comically bad, it literally stands as just flat out bad. The dialog is atrocious, once again, the film attempts to make these characters supposed hero's, but instead make them seem stupid, and even more clichéd as usual. The given dialog, at points, seems so horribly stupid, and at points even angering. The decisions in this film, as well, are dreadful! There were so many things these characters could of done to make this film make so much sense! But no, they took the wrong turns, pretty much at all the supposed right times. They make the stupidest decisions, when it's unbelievably obvious at points. Finally for the SyFy vibed' part of the film. The CGI. This film has CGI that seems better off as SyFy, TV movie material. There's parts where it looked like unfinished, horribly placed CGI tentacles, as well as gore, and blood. They were horribly placed at times, other times looked unfinished, and fake, overall, just not a very good attempt at CGI. At all.

In conclusion, why. This film took so many wrong turns, and lacked so much it's just hard to follow. The characters are annoying, clichéd, and executed with terrible acting. The CGI was literally like recycled SyFy material half the times, the film makes us sit through the characters making some of the stupidest decisions, in some of the most obvious of situations, leading to heavy disappointment, and even anger at some points. The dialog is just dreadful, and overall, this film tries passing up the typical teen - character - horror film clichés, which failed, and just lead to more disappointment. I wouldn't recommend this film unless you're into terrible films that, in fact, aren't so bad it's good .. but just plainly bad.

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

The monster didn't kill anyone. It did a favor for us all. All this teenagers are stupid as hell.

This is no Tremor obviously, but 3.8 i think its a bit harsh. I found it entertaining, both as a horror fans and as a man in general (watch it, you'll know what i mean lol)

Let's make no mistake, I didn't expect movie with the title "The Sand" to be masterpiece, just a rather cheap dumb horror movie.

And "The Sand" is exactly like that. I did like the premise of "something is in the sand", because it reminded me of those 50s horror-SF movies, even the premise is hard to take seriously. (but hey, that's why so many of us love these movies).

"The Sand" isn't a masterpiece of course, nor is it a good horror movie, but it offers some level of entertainment. The main premise is more or less one you saw in "Blood Beach" or one of those segments of "Creepshow 2" where characters are stuck on raft. "The Sand" plays the same: characters are stuck while the sand around them literally tries to devour them, or at least something that's in the sand.

Acting is sorta descent for this type of movie. I am unfamiliar with actors, but considering what the premise has and some of the stupid dialogue they had to say, it's a miracle how much they are selling the impossible situation they are stuck in. Speaking of characters, there's nothing special, they are your usual horror cannon fodder, except the two characters: the fat black guy who's stuck in trash bin for the entire movie and the "oblivious to everything" cop. Of course, he dies too for being cop in a horror movie. Surprised?

My main complaint is use of CGI gore effects. Movie should have stick to practical effects, but instead we get some obvious terrible CGI gore. Note to any filmmaker there who wants to make monster movie (because this is essentially one): Do practical FX and show the monster. No matter how cheap or bad looking it is, everyone's come to see it and the worst thing is if you grace us with CGI and no monster. No matter how bad practical FX and makeup might look, you'll get points from monster movie lovers for having courage to show and push it in front of us. It's sole reason why we come to see those monster movies.

And other major complaint is that, much like "Zombievers" this one runs out of steam around the half. One running joke. If it was 30-40 minute short movie, it would have been a much better movie.

My quick rating 1,8/10. WOW!!! What did I just watch? Was this a training video on how to take an absolutely horrid idea for a movie, hand it over to a screenwriter and watch the bad idea get even worse? This seems to be a tutorial in everything not to do in movies. The acting is beyond horrible. Even if these people were being themselves (calling the blondes, blonde is a compliment) it was like they were "acting" like themselves. Every dumb thing they would say in real life they just overacted in the movie. Hard concept to explain how bad it was. When it comes down to special effects and you only have 5 bucks left to spend, buy a super value meal at mcdonalds and sit at your computer for the time it takes to eat it with a software program downloaded for such purpose ad read the FAQs. After that hour you WILL be able to do better then they did in this movie. Heck, a couple times you could see through the person when being transparent had nothing to do with it. It was unintentionally laughable. Plot, touch the sand, it eats you and not in the fun, campy way that it did in "Blood Beach". My apology to that movie, at least it was funny and b-budget fun. I am giving this movie way too much thought time, so I am done. Don't See this.

Brook butler is no Scarlett Johansson but having her in any film gives it an automatic extra 2 stars for me. That being said the film could use some serious editing and did they ever drop the ball with buddy in the can. That had the potential for comedic genius material of the year award. We do the best we can with limited budgets and some scenes with missing body parts were not that bad. Over the top, like can anybody that stupid, and why r u not running the other way when your buddy so considerately sacrificed his life for u. These r the reasons we watch these b-movies in the first place. Really we have all seen way worse from full moon studios so quit your bitching. So unlike let us prey which started out as a masterpiece right from the opening credits then fell apart at the end, this movie is not the worst movie ever made, that honor belongs to mars attacks.

Some kids party at a beach. It is decided that for the sake of fun, all cell phones will be confiscated. Further into the night some kids find some large cocoon-type thing.

The next morning the beach is pretty empty except for one girl who's topless on a bench, two kids who are in lifeguard tower, three kids in a car and one guy is stuck in trash container.

When topless girl steps into the sand, filaments grow out of it and she's sucked into the sand. In some poor and bizarre editing/directing choice, at the very same time some other guy from the car is also attacked by the sand as he's trying to make his way out of the car. And in yet another terrible decision, neither the kids nor the editor/director care for the dying girl but go nuts over the guy.

For some there's no one else anywhere near the beach and they have no access to their cellphone. So the question is, how will the remaining kids get out of this situation, who will live and who will die? If you understand Hollywood politics, you know the answer to the second question. All that remains then is the how. And it's a long and slow process. The girl in the tower will be the leader and heroine, the poor guy with her has a thing for her so of course she treats him like trash. Occasionally they will come up with some idea but they sure take their time. It's near the end when finally there's some progress.

The Sand is then a low-budget horror thriller, with uneven performances, cheesy but not horrible CGI effects, a script with a good concepts but that runs out of ideas. Clearly the main limitation here is the budget. This movie deserved better. We needed a better director and editor, a larger cast, more scares, more gore, more nudity. The problem is that given the main idea and the low budget, the movie should have been more fun and campy instead it takes itself too seriously. It's an enjoyable movie for what it is and certainly better than what most here think.

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.

Surprisingly entertaining and well acted, The Sand isn't hardcore horror. There isn't a load of blood and guts, but when I was about 9, I saw a movie like this one called Blood Beach. That stuff was traumatizing and this one, brought back nice memories of that scary movie. The actors are quite likable (most of them anyway), making it tough to watch them bite the dust and my biggest plus was the fact that they acted like REAL PEOPLE. They handled things the way I would've which made it easier to root for them. On the down side, the CGI sucked (there's not much of it though) and the story would veer into 90210 levels of drama at times (is now really the right time to talk about who banged who?)

The Sand is an easily digestible horror flick, short and fun to watch on a weekend if the genre mood strikes you.

My favorite movies are B horror movies. I've watched a lot of them. As long as the acting is tolerable and the plot is decent, I can look over a cheesy monster or being able to tell it had a low budget. This movie was really good for what it was. The effects were good. The acting was good. The only part of the movie I didn't enjoy was the life guard. He was so annoying and no one would act that way in real life. I definitely think this movie is worth watching. If I really enjoy a movie, I'll watch it numerous times after I find it. I've watched this one many times.

....is it the script?

This is one of those films that you could easily slate, and give a mean review to, but if you take it for what it is, it's actually a bit of fun.

A group of graduates, who are of course beautiful girls, and buff dudes wake up and find that the sand is carnivorous, devouring all that steps on it.

The acting is a bit dodgy, but then they do the best they can with the script, the special effects are a bit off, but then again it is a b movie.

If you are someone that loves horror movies from the 1960's I think you may just enjoy this one.

Good fun, 6/10.

A relatively short film (thankfully) with some very repetitive scenes and average acting. The only parts which worked well was when I was laughing at its ridiculousness, any attempt at an emotional scene was tragically bad.

I wouldn't say the film was outright boring, there was a fun scene with a lifeguard but it was a very poorly made film, not very technically good and there's a million better horror movies.

3/10: Avoid
