Is it good? No. But is it a dumb yet fun Syfy channel flick? Yes. The Sand is another cheeseball Syfy channel horror flick that knows it’s stupid and embraces it. The effects are atrocious, but it is hard to expect much from a movie like this. Cheesy dialogue, dumb characters, and a hungry menacing space creature - The Sand has everything required to spend an hour and a half of your life with your brain switched off just laughing at the nonsense. There is some nudity at the beginning, which surprised me with it being a movie released on cable TV, which to me, is always unnecessary. Even with all that being said, it’s honestly one of the better Syfy creature movies and does decent work building tension and suspense.
