Summary

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water again, you can’t even get across the sand! BLOOD BEACH meets SPRING BREAKERS in an ace monster mash-up of smart nostalgia and up-to-the-minute visual effects. After an all-night graduation beach party, a group of hung-over students wake up under blazing sun to find their numbers somewhat depleted. An enormous alien creature has burrowed down deep and anyone foolish enough to make contact with the sand finds themselves at the mercy of a sea of flesh-eating tentacles. Will they ever be able to escape its carnivorous clutches?

What to Expect

The Sand, aka Blood Sand, aka Blood Beach part 2, aka The floor is lava is a fun low-budget Sci-Fi creature feature that's not nearly as bad as it might seem to be on the surface. The movie opens with a large group of friends partying on the beach, having fun and filming everything on a shaky phone. Cut to the next day and the beach is near desolate, except for a few remnants of the previous night. Cut again to the previous night and the shaky phone catches a few more important details. Cut to the next day and we're presented a few more important (well, maybe not important) details. This form of exposition was short, sweet and effective (primarily because it the shaky dark phone camera footage made the feature film quality outstanding by comparison).

Critic Reviews:

Honestly, The Sand is a campy good time. I’d highly recommend watching it with your friends, whether a beer or two is worked into the evening is completely up to you.

– Horror Society

The Sand is clearly low budget, which is actually serves the movie quite well.

– Flickering Myth

Overall, The Sand could be good for a midnight watch where goofiness is happily embraced and the need for creature fun is welcome; however, once the sun comes up, it’s best to find a lot of shade from this solar disaster.
