Still from _It Stains the Sands Red_.

_It Stains the Sands Red_ is quite an interesting and rather original Zombie
flick. At the start I thought I knew where it was heading, but then it headed
somewhere else entirely.

Also this is not a roller-coaster of a film, it keeps
the pace low and takes its time. The characters (of which one is a Zombie!) get
the time to grow and develop. One foot after the other, so to speak. The main
actress _Brittany Allen_ is definitely what carries the film, and her character
Molly's transformation through the movie is what makes this film such an
interesting watch.

Very much a surprise viewing for me. It was included as a bonus feature on the
Blu-Ray for _What Keeps You Alive_ (2018) also with Brittany Allen and from the
same director (_Colin Minihan_). I first thought this was a short film bonus
feature, but it clocks in on almost exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes plus credits.

A great watch! Very much recommended!
