Comics Review: Sandcastle

Early morning on a perfect summer's day, people begin to descend on an idyllic, secluded beach. Among their number, a family, a young couple, a refugee and some American tourists. Its fine white sand is fringed with rock pools filled with crystal clear water. The beach is sheltered from prying eyes by green-fringed cliffs that soar around the cove. But this utopia keeps a dark secret.

Sandcastle is the inspiration for M. Night Shyamalan's major motion picture 'Old'.

Sandcastle is stunning! The artist Frederik Peeters has done a lot of amazing work, my favourite being his introspective, powerful, scifi drama Aama. One of my absolute favourite cartoonists working.

If you have time, it would be very cool if you make a critic between the graphic novel and the film

The comic didn’t feel dreadful or fearful to me. Everyone was very accepting of the situation and barely even tried to leave. Lukewarm is probably the word which describes my experience with it, but there are interesting moments

The book and the movie are two different stories I loved them both

i felt like the film was sort of about a few things but also about the vaccine trials & being in the Covid quarantine

Is it like a horror sci fi? Is the end left ambiguous or the story has a proper end?
