jfarms1956 This movie is for those 10 and up. Maybe kids shouldn't's see horror flicks, but let's face it, they love them. This is a true popcorn cruncher. Just like many horror movies, it starts off slow. It builds slowly but keeps you hooked. You get hooked by a murder within the first ten minutes of the movie. Maybe a better title of the movie should have been Sandman. The cast helps make this movie work and yet none of them are what I would call superstars. This movie would be good for sleepovers and slumber parties. The movie offers little surprise in plot and ending.An average horror film with average entertainment value.Enjoy the flick for what it is. Four thumbs up.

Aaron1375 Yes, this movie has a man executed and returned as the Sandman a supernatural killer that does in fact have about the same powers as the villain from the Spidey comic books. He must kill now and his main target is his younger brother. Creepy music played, strange truths revealed near the end, and lots of sand and not all that much gore. In fact, he does kill his victims in rather different ways from other movie slasher/monsters. The movie has some good in it, with that it has just to much bad. The whole using sand to kill gets old and is a bit lame, sand is just not all that scary. Well unless of course you are in the desert and in the middle of a sandstorm. There are some interesting plot points, and there is one kill that occurs near the end that makes one who watches this type of movie go "that is not supposed to happen". They try to kill the sandman in differing ways, one of those ways backfires and leads to the death above. I do not know, I think they had an interesting concept going for them, but maybe they needed to do something with the killer perhaps making him more of a supernatural slasher who turned to sand only to get to his victims and not as a means to kill them. I mean that one scene involving that girl in the bed was really over the top.

Scarecrow-88 Absolutely dreadful horror film about a young journalist named Griffin(Jay Underwood)who is being stalked by a killer made of sand. The killer(Michael Harris)slaughtered several families before he got to Griffin's and as he was about to kill him{..after killing Griffin's parents}, a cop(William Lucking)is able to stop him. Griffin's only ally{..because the cops thinks he's crazy and behind three murders, two of whom were his best friends}is his photographer friend, Megan(Kathryn Morris of "Cold Case")who has seen what the Sandman can do. The film is really cheap, with only average special effects, the killer isn't very convincing{..while also being quite laughable}, the premise is bit of a joke especially in how the killer is able to come back aided by a weird devil preacher, & the acting goes from bad to very bad. The film never builds suspense, the effects are never fully effective enough to scare, and the whole film is one longish, boring ride. Seek your thrills elsewhere because there in short supply here.

Rob_Taylor I saw this movie a little while ago. For a killer who is apparently made of sand, two things were immediately obvious to me, the viewer. Water would slow him down and as I suspected, there would be a fiery demise for him.The hero is someone you don't actually care about so it's mostly just a big sigh of relief at the end when the Sandman offs him. But why oh why do all directors, when the scene calls for a handgun, pick a Desert Eagle? IMI (the company that makes them) either has the biggest product placement deal in the universe, or are simply rubbing their hands in glee at all the free coverage it gets. They are in everything. Simply because they are the biggest handgun in the world doesn't make them the best. But as far as directors go, size apparently does matter.Anyway, the film sucks terribly and seems to go on forever. If you need a film to fall asleep to, this is it.
