Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

ian 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

gourdz 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.

lee allington 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.

Jan Strydom 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.
