Review of Sandman

Sandman (1993)
7/10
Flawed hidden gem

Picked this up thinking it was a different Sandman movie, by the description I was not expecting much but when I popped the tape in I found myself quite entertained.

Sandman has a lot going on inside it. Time travel, car chases, a psycho killer, bar fights and stop motion dolls. Most times all of this would make for a confused movie, and don't get me wrong, I didn't totally understand what was happening but it all gelled together.

Sandman is well acted and has surprisingly good effects (minus the stop motion doll - wtf?!)

It's a shame lead and director Woster committed suicide after filming wrapped, he could have gone on to have been someone. Sadly, as it stands, sandman got a very limited vhs release and has since slipped into the cracks of time.
