Review of Red Sands

Red Sands (2009)
8/10
A great horror movie but a bit too sophisticated for average Americans
26 March 2017
I was surprised to see the movie score only a 4.. but then I realized the majority of voters are probably young Americans (or Americans in general) who are too ignorant to understand foreign culture. Sadly, a nation that does not endorse free thinking and cultural knowledge robs it's people of many wonderful things in this World. The movie is actually quite disturbing but demands an alert mind (with longer attention span than 3 minutes) and even some knowledge about middle eastern countries and an insight into Islam. There are numerous Iranian truly magnificent horror movies covering the same topic as Red sands out there. This movie is creepy and lingers on in your mind. It is well made because it focuses on the characters and the story and does not try to cover up a poor script with expensive visual FX. Knowing how it ends does not stop me from watching it again as the overall feel and weirdness in the movie what makes it great.
