10 Summer Horror Movies You Have To See

How about a beach movie where the threat isn't the water, but the sand itself?

Yes, in this bizarre 1980 horror film, a bunch of people at the beach are being attacked by some sort of monster underneath the sand, usually being sucked underneath and disappearing. Sometimes people will be mutilated by it, though, like one girl whose friends bury her on the beach for fun and then she comes out with her legs all shredded up. Gross. 

Don't get too excited about a cool creature, though. You don't actually see the monster until the last 10 minutes, and even then, it's shot in a super dark close up so that it's hard to even see anything. From what you do see of it, it kind of looks like a giant Venus fly-trap looking thing. Not that exciting.

The low budget nature of the movie is abundantly clear, as if the entire thing was produced based on being able to make a monster movie without actually having a visible monster. It's full of poor acting, lame dialogue, and almost all available copies are extremely grainy and low quality.

But that just adds to the B-movie charm, and it's become something of a cult hit. This is one to throw on during the boring summer hours to make fun of, Mystery Science Theater style.
