It’s able to (dis)appear, survive shotgun hits, fatally ‘incorporate’ human bodies -picking them off one by one- and make water turn acid….

Great idea, sloppy execution.
There is an interesting idea here. It is a sort of weird mix of John Carpenter’s The Thing, H.P. Lovecraft with sand thrown in. Lots of sand. For anyone who has seen The Thing and read Lovecraft sand surely doesn’t spoil things. It actually makes for an interesting setting that is not too often used in horror. In fact, it is not really used much in any type of movie.Perhaps it’s the fact that such a featureless landscape is hard to imagine as anything other than dull and certainly not frightening. The typical desert doesn’t have many, if any at all, caves or any other crevices and burrows where something awful can hide. So just where does a demon, that can strip someone’s skin clean off their bones hide? Well, you’ll just have to watch to find the answer, but unfortunately it is that answer that’ll provide you with a let down. Like I said, the idea is good, but the manner in which it is shown commits one of the cardinal sins of the horror genre and that’s showing too much too quickly. Virtually every horror movie that does so automatically just slips a few notches. It doesn’t become frightening. Startling at best, but that’s just not enough. Also, as another letdown is the lack of atmosphere. The cinematography hardly does justice to the setting and it relies too much on the mediocre special effects to cause chills. Predictably, those chills aren’t nearly as chilling as they could have been. Also, the film seems to strive a little too far in giving a scientific explanation for the horror. That doesn’t affect the film as bad as the other things, but it does take away a good deal of the mystery.
The manner in which is presented that is real down, but the initial idea remains a very good one. Meaning horror fans will want to tune in, if just for that. — 5/10
