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.

The really only thing that made me dislike this movie was the cop scene. It dragged on forever and was not funny at all.

BLOOD SAND (a.k.a. THE SAND) actually has a fairly decent set-up for a "chamber piece" horror film -- Steal the hook from cult classic BLOOD BEACH and use the set-up from "The Raft" sequence from CREEPSHOW 2; the result is a group of swimwear-clad "hotties" trapped by killer sand that swallows you up... The problem lies in execution and the fact that this is not made by a true horror fan, just somebody using the popular sub-genre to further the career... Because of this, the result is the worst tropes these films have to offer -- Stale, unlikeable characters, generic (and probably ad-libbed) dialogue, nonsensical behavior (Hey, let's bring that big, slimy egg thing back to the party!!!!) and (for the most part) atrocious CGI in lieu of any attempts at practical effects... Throw in a painfully unfunny cameo by Jamie Kennedy and you have this turd.The irony in all this is that as much as I hate remakes (especially horror remakes) I've always felt the original BLOOD BEACH should get a remake. It's got a unique concept and some great moments... But it's also running time is heavily weighed down by a yawn-inducing romantic subplot. Still, it's ten times better than this junk.

This has a similar plot and layout to Blood Beach and also to a (I think,) twilight zone short in which swimmers in a lake are attacked by a floating bin sack.If you consider being able to shriek to be good acting then this is for you.There is absolutely no subtlety to either the acting or the plot and it is difficult to understand how a director could ever think this little opus was worth anything other than the trash can.Which makes me think that these rubbishy films are simply a tax avoidance scam – make a film that sucks but pay yourself a great fee so the tax on your finance is avoided but you still reap rewards. Plus the junk film gets rented out to cable and late night channels and you have an ongoing royalty income. Only after a person has watched the film do they realise that they just wasted 90 mins of their time.
