I basically like any horror movie crossover but I believe this one is superior to most out there. Of course, don't bother to watch this if you expect a non-stop action flick filled with expensive special effects or if you belong to any US military fan club - you will be disappointed. For the rest of us however, this movie packs some solid acting, beautiful photography, chilling atmospheric music/audio and creeping slow paranoia that got my attention and wholly entertained me until the credits rolled on. I am a two decade horror movie expert and I must say Red Sands is a low budget jewel that impressed me... although he ending was predictable but still very efficient and true to the spirit of the movie.

I a hate to brag about my knowledge of horror films but it is huge and this film has completely taken my breath away. I must have seen hundreds of horror films that couldn't compete with anything like this.Basicaly what I am saying is ignore how everyone belittles this film as it's a masterpiece. the acting is unbelievably good, the plot is brilliant, I do admit at times it dragged on for a few minutes but just put yourself in the position of being stranded in the desert with people being slaughtered left right and centre, your friends and your brothers in arms, hell you cannot trust next to nobody. Just watch it love it and be thrilled. Acting-9/10 plot-7/10 end-9/10. love to see a red sands 2.

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.

Before seeing this movie, I expected something better from the director of 'Dead Birds' which was a very decent movie (not breath-taking, but interesting and worth-seeing in the horror genre). I got disappointed very early on, but I continued to watch it, maybe hoping for an interesting turn or at least something that would compensate me for the 90 minutes spent seeing it. But it kept on going worse. OK, the story setting is good, a group of American soldiers stationed in the Afghanistan's desert waking up a djinn. That's all that was good. It could be a nice movie but the result was boring, dull, not at least frightening, and the end is totally predictable. The actors were rather mediocre, the dialogs poor, the characters stereotypical, the special effects very cheap, the attempt to describe the American view of the Muslim religion childish and lacking, and the overall plot had a lot of holes in it. With one word, boring. A waste of time, there must be hundreds of other movies in this category better than this one so do not waste any time on this.
