Red Sands

From the creators of the cult hit, Dead Birds, comes the psychological, horror film Red Sands, which follows the story of a group of U.S. soldiers who face a deadly supernatural force after they destroy an ancient statue.

Present-day Afghanistan. As continuing battles rage in the war-torn country, a unit of U.S. soldiers are dispatched to seize and control a strategic road that runs past an abandoned stone house. En route, the soldiers discover an ancient stone statue hidden deep within an ancient ravine. Using the relic for target practice, they destroy it, unwittingly releasing a vengeful supernatural force that is about to wage a horrifying war on them in this taut, action-packed, psychological thriller.

    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Interesting ideas, poor execution

    This is a film with some interesting ideas. Isolate a group of US soldiers in the desert in Afghanistan, or indeed any war zone, and things start to go wrong. Introduce a malevolent element from outside the group, a Djinn in this case, and things really fall apart.

    Captures the feeling of the heat, the desert and isolation to some extent, but no real pattern to the developing story line and suffers from a budget which does not appear to match the ideas behind the film.

    Still worth a look if nothing better to watch!
