Despite its modest budget and occasionally questionable CGI, The Sand earned a reputation for being "much smarter than it looks."

After a wild beach party, a group of hungover young adults wakes up to find themselves stranded on the sand. A strange, almost invisible creature lurks beneath — anything that touches the sand is immediately devoured in a geyser of blood and torn flesh.

Most of the movie takes place in a single location as the survivors balance on top of a lifeguard tower, a picnic table, and a car to stay alive.

Most horror movies rely on a stalking killer or a shark in the water. The Sand innovates by making the ground the enemy. The visual of a person being dragged screaming into the dirt while their friends watch from a plastic chair is genuinely unnerving and creative.
