This film, which, surprisingly, has an okay storyline, is coupled with over-the-top acting, a trash script, and terrible CGI, and may just be the lowest form of garbage you need to watch as you pummel through the weekend.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy creature-feature that treats its absurd premise, a flesh-eating alien lurking in beach sand, with gleeful horror-comedy energy. It's the kind of film that knows exactly how ridiculous its setup is and leans into the panic and dark humor of watching careless survivors learn, too late, not to touch the ground.

Reviews
This film most likely had the perfect pitch and a ton of money was given to finance it. Then, the crew took all of that money, had a huge beach party, and everyone got wasted. When they woke up the next day to begin the first day of filming, they realized they had about 1/10th of the budget left and said, "we got this!"
