Overview

Seventeen years after slaughtering all but one member of a family, a vicious serial killer known only as "The Sandman" awaits execution. But first, his jailers allow a minister to visit the killer to give him last rites, unaware that the minister is a voodoo priest and an ally of the condemned prisoner. The priest places a hex on the Sandman so that when he is executed, his soul migrates into a new body made of sand. To sever his ties with his former life and achieve absolute power, the sandman must find and kill a man named Griffin, the sole survivor of the last family murdered by the killer

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A lurid 90s horror premise where supernatural vengeance literally takes form in sand, stalking a lone survivor through dark corridors and darker magic. It's pulpy, tense, and deeply uncomfortable in its obsession with cycles of violence.
