The Sandman (2017) Reviews

• What a disappointment

  Terrible graphics and even worse acting from the child. Predictable horror made for an awful movie.

• Exit Sandman...please

  Woof. Bad writing, bad acting, bad effects... Just bad. And the annoying little girl wasn't trying to stop anything and didn't even act afraid. She just conjured up the Sandman to kill folks on a whim and looked like she enjoyed it. So unlikable. My sons and I did get entertainment value from making fun of it, but that's it.

  Very unimaginative, routine, seen-it-a-hundred times sort of horror movie. I got through about 50 minutes, and I couldn't continue. I would think that in 2017, filmmakers can come up with something a bit more novel. How many b-horror movies use a little white girl, that screams a lot, named Madison, with a 20 something big sister/aunt, both are frightened of some cheap CBI monster, that kills people... I'll pass.

• The Sandman: Good effort

  The Scyfy channel don't do horror originals very often, and that's a shame because more often than not when they do they're quite good. The Sandman is somewhat similiar to Before I Wake (2016). It tells the story of a girl with telekinetic powers who has somehow brought The Sandman into reality who kills anyone that threatens her. Starring Haylie Duff (Who is far better than I expected), Tobin "Jigsaw" Bell and Paul Logan (Though he may as well not have been cast) this horror effort once again shows that Scyfy should should do more horror. With a great looking beastie, decent performances and a well delivered concept this was a lot of fun. It's ending is a tad sudden and it's not overwhelmingly original but it's forgiven due to it's decent entertainment value. The Good: Sandman looks and sounds great Tobin Bell The Bad: Very sudden ending One very bad cgi scene Couple of bits were never explained Things I Learnt From This Movie: Instead of renewing their access to shows like Xena & Wonderwoman the Scyfy channel should use that money to make more horror originals I want a Sandman bodyguard!

  Being someone that has read the entire sandman series, this movie is absolute garbage! It is so terribly inaccurate in the portrayal of the sandman. This movie shouldn't have even been allowed to use that title. The producer of this movie should probably read the series before deciding they'd like to make a movie supposedly based upon it. And why does Haylie Duff have the sigil of death on her wrist? Non of it makes any sense, what so ever. I cant.
