The Sandman is an interesting piece from 2017, directed by Peter Sullivan. It dives into the dark corners of childhood fears, where a monster summoned from a little girl's nightmares starts wreaking havoc. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing keeps you on edge, especially as the creature closes in on those who threaten her. The practical effects used to bring the Sandman to life have a certain raw quality that feels refreshing in a genre often dominated by CGI. The performances, while not groundbreaking, serve the narrative effectively, drawing you into the emotional stakes of the child’s plight. It's a unique take on the horror genre that explores themes of protection and fear in a very personal way.
