Qamar Shafiq Geeks of Color For a tv horror flick, The Sandman is better than most and worth a watch, if even just for Shae Smolik's performance as a vulnerable yet cold and disturbed young girl as she shows great signs for a bright career ahead of her. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Rebecca Murray Showbiz Junkies Strong performances, a creepy creature, and an interesting premise make The Sandman worth checking out.

Albert W Nevermind. Delete review. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/25 Full Review Cristian s No se si decir que es mala pero sin ninguna duda esta muy mal ejecutada. La idea era buena pero al pasar los minutos se va al carajo y parece que en ningún momento lograron decidirse si era una película de terror, suspenso, policial, ciencia ficción entonces tiraron todo junto y así les quedo. Ah y que sea para televisión tampoco le hace ningún favor. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Steve B Awful, just awful. Run while you can... Cause once you start, it sucks you in, especially if you can fast-forward. I guess I kept watching just to see how bad it can get. I'm writing this so you don't. Call it my good deed for the day. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Audience Member I was only vaguely familiar with the graphic novels, so I didn't have any biases about how the characters were portrayed. Compelling from beginning to end, I binge watched from start to finished and found the story very satisfying. I eagerly await a second season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting and horrible cgi remind me of a low-budget show on sci fi. Also akin to a tv show, we're just thrown into this story with zero buildup to the girl's powers. We're expected to accept her spooky sand powers from scene 1. And once our main character sees that her niece can rip a woman apart with floating evil sand, she doesn't seem the least bit shocked. If the characters don't care, why should we? Not the least bit scary. Just stupid and boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible writing, subpar acting (though given the writing and story, it is hard to fault them too much), predictable scares, mediocre production values, and a story that fits in the 80's b-rated scary movie genre without the nostalgia. I literally found myself signing not but two minutes into the movie as already characters were doing dumb things for no logical reason and spouting unrealistic lines. This is the kind of movie that you watch when you are getting drunk with friends and want to make fun of lame characters doing dumb things. You'll end up throwing Cheetos at the television.
