The beach was never safe — now, it’s hungrier than ever. “The Sand: Part 2” (2025) rises from the cult horror classic, delivering a new wave of terror where the nightmare doesn’t sleep beneath the surface… it waits.

Years after the first massacre, the cursed shoreline reawakens when a group of marine biology students return to study the mysterious “organism” that devoured everything in its path. What begins as a quiet investigation quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival as the sand itself pulses, moves, and hunts.

The trailer opens with a drone sweeping over an abandoned beach — empty lifeguard chairs, broken boards, and whispers carried by the wind. Then, a scream cuts through the surf. The sand shifts violently, dragging someone below as blood stains the tide. Maika Monroe plays Dr. Cara Lewis, a survivor from the original event, determined to destroy the creature once and for all, while Dylan Minnette and Kaya Scodelario portray two researchers trapped in the nightmare as it spreads inland.
