The Sand (2015) Reviews

I watched it from beginning to end.I didn’t have high expectations of the movie but the acting was good.

Thoughts before I watched this.
1. The concept reminds me of the game we play as kids where the floor is lava.
2. I know this is going to be a cheesefest and right now that's what I want.
3. The trailer reminds me of basically every goofy party movie cliche.
4. From it the whole sand scenario looks like fun.
5. The acting however might be what takes away that fun.
6. This is the directorial debut of Isaac Gabaeff.
7. This is written by Alex Greenfield (Mostly known for Wrestling shows which isn't promising for me) and Ben Powell who doesn't have much on his resume yet.
8. At least it has a few familiar names.
9. Either I will hate this or find it amusing.

"After an all-night graduation beach party, a group of hung-over twenty-somethings awake to a beating sun, and a seemingly carnivorous beach that devours anything with a heartbeat that touches the sand."

Thoughts while I watched this.
1. Can't have a party without a little bit of skin can you?
2. It's kind of annoying with going back and forth between the party and the next morning.
3. What the hell is that thing?!
4. So that topless girl is going to be around for awhile right lol?
5. Probably not, but one can dream.
6. This doesn't take it's time getting to the point which is nice!
7. That is a horrible place to be stuck in.
8. Why doe they keep making such silly decisions?
9. If I was there I would just sit in the lifeguard station until someone came.
10. Oh man that doesn't look too good.
11. Is there anybody intelligent in this group?
12. I do not see anything good happening from this.
13. Haha man this guy is a douchebag.
14. They should really get the rules of this thing down.
15. Just going to leave them there huh?
16. That was cold blooded.
17. The CGI here could use some work.
18. LMAO! That's just too funny and somewhat expected.
19. They really don't think things out too well do they.
20. Yep I saw that coming.
21. Aww no that was so unfair!
22. They didn't even check.
23. That ending felt rushed and not completely detailed.

Thoughts after I watched this.
1. It's a neat concept that just wasn't realized by the right people
2. The acting is pretty bad, but it does have a few good moments.
3. Some stuff the people do here is just ridiculous.
4. It's not too slow which is good.
5. While things were predictable I didn't see some of it happening in the order it did.
6. They seem hopeful for sequel.
7. If they are to make one then hopefully they try harder than they did here.
8. It's not too bad though and a lot could have gone worse.
9. It's watchable if you want something new, but don't mind a bit of cheese.
