Red Sands (2009) DVD

Director: Alex Turner
Starring: Shane West & J.K. Simmons
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1103256/

 A group of U.S. soldiers stationed in post 9/11 Afghanistan unwittingly release a Djinn. Don't be turned off because it's a movie about the Djinn. It goes deeper than that and this is nothing like 'Wishmaster'. They leave the cheese factor behind and take a darker more serious approach to the subject, getting inside the characters heads and turning them against each other.

 Special features included on the disc are commentary with the director and writer, a "Making Of" featurette, a set tour and some deleted scenes.

Verdict: * * * *
