The movie is very suspenseful, as nothing is ever quite what it seems, even up to the very end. The film moves along at a steady pace, due to its intriguing story. The plot does get a bit confusing in the later half of the movie, and that's the film's only real drawback. The acting in the film is top notch, and other notable actors in the film include: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, M. Emmet Walsh, Maura Tierney and Mimi Rogers.

Picture:
White Sands is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. The picture is virtually flawless with vibrant colors and accurate flesh tones. It must be noted that on my first viewing of the film, there was a purple spot in the right side of the print during some of chapter 27; however, on subsequent viewings, the spot wasn't there.

Sound:
White Sands features remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in either English or French. The surround is really terrific and is utilized to varying degrees throughout the film, mainly for background.

Extras:
Four trailers are included on White Sands: Diabolique (full frame), Pacific Heights (widescreen), Chill Factor (widescreen), and, of course, White Sands (full frame). Also present are optional subtitles in English, French, or Spanish and four cast bios.

Summary
I found White Sands to be a very enjoyable, intriguing, and suspenseful film. The acting and story are both excellent, and the DVD is very good with terrific sound and picture quality, and a few extras to boot. Fans of the genre or the actors should definitely give it a rent or even a purchase. Recommended.
