Reviews:
“director Isaac Gabaeff … decides to move away from the small but effective and give us a Big Monster. Except that the money spent on attempting this wouldn’t pay for a Pizza Hut meal, and is so cartoonish it makes The Flintstones look like Cinéma Vérité.” Anything Horror
” … there are some issues with the effects, especially during a couple of the bigger, and gorier, death scenes; but it’s testament to The Sand‘s production that the low-budget nature of the effects don’t detract too much from the overall experience and, thankfully, doesn’t stop the filmmakers from actually – come the big finale – showing just what is under the sand, giant tentacles and all!” Phil Wheat, Nerdly
” … full of padding, a hammered in love triangle and rather unfunny jokes. Issac Gabaeff does the best with what he has, but The Sand ultimately fails at a script level.” Luke Owen, Flickering Myth
