Tubi Thursday: The Sand (2014)

 Just when you thought it was safe to NOT go back into the Water!  This 2014 Film sounds like a Parody, but it is 100% real.  

This is...

After a long night of a Graduation Party (it's supposed to be College, but...come on), our Heroes wake up hungover.  We see the first part in Video Flashbacks a la Cloverfield.

They quickly discover that the sand is deadly though.

Call Mitch!

Everyone is spread out on the Beach, one of whom, as you can see, has it far worse than anyone else.

"Good news- I'm in a Film.  Bad news- I spend the whole runtime stuck in a barrel with a dick drawn on my face."

Can our Heroes get past their personal issues to move *sigh* across 20-30 feet of sand?

Will this melodrama be worth your time?

Can they just stay off the damn sand already?!?

I'd have more to say, but...I mean, it's the Killer Sand Film.

Is this the worst trip to the beach ever?

Is this, in fact, a real Film and not a FunnyOrDie Video?

Yes and yes.  

The End.

A weird idea for a Film- no question.  Granted, I have seen Blood Beach (holy s#%t- that was 12 years ago!).  I've also seen Sand Sharks, as much as I try to forget it.

As I've said at least twice though, this feels like it can't be a real Film.  Like that clip where a Bus- and all but one rider- are decapitated by an invisible wall, you almost can't believe that there's an actual Film.  This is just, like, a clip made for a joke, right?

Nope.  Still real.

To be fair, the Actors- mostly- do try pretty hard here.  Some of them manage to cry on cue- good on ya!  The CGI is good...in small doses.  The final parts with it are...less so.  The glowing tentacles are just kind of silly.  Like I said with Blood Beach, it's almost better without a full reveal.

The Film could easily be shorter and more interesting.  I will applaud the Film for not trying to be funny and falling into the trap of adding random 'comic' victims here.  It's played 100% straight, like it or not.

At least they had a good time, even if they shot it in less than 2 weeks...

A silly-sounding Film that tries hard to be taken seriously.  Ultimately, you can only do so much in 12 days as 'The Killer Sand Film' though.
