Red Sands - 9 minutes of horror in the desert

Dead Birds helmer Alex Turner is back with a new horror film called Red Sands and STYD had an exclusive nine-minute sneak peek courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Brendan Miller, Shane West and Aldis Hodge are part a unit of U.S. soldiers dispatched to seize and control a strategic road that runs past an abandoned stone house. En route, the soldiers discover an ancient stone statue hidden deep within an ancient ravine. Using the relic for target practice, they destroy it, unwittingly releasing a vengeful supernatural force that is about to wage a horrifying war on them.

Red Sands hits DVD on February 24th.

Red Sands - Soldiers in Iraq face supernatural horror

During a mission in the Middle East, a group of US soldiers destroy a statue out of boredom only to then be visited by a malevolent force the next day.

This looks pretty good from the trailer and you can have a look at Director Alex Turner's myspace page for more info on it. It is written by Simon Barrett. This duo previously brought us the Lovecraftian Civil War tale Dead Birds. In their latest effort Brendan Miller, Shane West, Aldis Hodge, Theo Rossi and Noel Gugliemi are soldiers serving in the Middle East.

I'd not heard of Dead Birds so I've included the trailer for that one below as well. Give me your thoughts on both.

A group of Confederate soldiers hide out in an abandoned plantation after robbing a bank and find themselves at the mercy of supernatural forces.
