Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. alexnobody – ★★★
   “Honestly? It rules. Sand tremors eating people in broad daylight while the cops are perpetually baffled and sweaty. It never fully delivers on the creature reveal, but it’s a perfect lazy horror watch.”

2. cinemabonbon – ★★½
   “Cool concept that drags in the middle. The setup is good, and the beach paranoia works, but it needed more tension and monster action.”

3. charlottelily – ★★★
   “I’m a sucker for ’80s creature features, even if the creature is barely shown. The police procedural angle was surprisingly compelling.”

4. mattyh – ★★
   “It’s more of a slow police drama than a horror movie, but there’s something weirdly charming about it. Needed more beach terror.”

5. horrorguy92 – ★★★½
   “This is the type of movie that makes you scared to walk on the sand. Cheesy, yes—but it knows what it is. Great synth score, too.”

Meta Description:
Blood Beach (1980) is a cult horror gem blending beachside paranoia with sci-fi terror, featuring a mysterious sand-dwelling creature, a memorable cast, and a suspenseful atmosphere that has earned it a unique place in genre history.
