The premise

Seventeen years after slaughtering all but one member of a family, a vicious serial killer known only as "The Sandman" awaits execution. But first, his jailers allow a minister to visit the killer to give him last rites, unaware that the minister is a voodoo priest and an ally of the condemned prisoner. The priest places a hex on the Sandman so that when he is executed, his soul migrates into a new body made of sand. To sever his ties with his former life and achieve absolute power, the sandman must find and kill a man named Griffin, the sole survivor of the last family murdered by the killer

Horror Vault's take

A notorious serial killer dubbed The Sandman cheats death through a voodoo ritual that transforms him into something far more difficult to kill than a man. His one unfinished piece of business is the sole survivor of his most brutal crime — a target he has never forgotten. What follows is a relentless cat-and-mouse pursuit that blurs the line between the natural and the supernatural. The Sandman is no ordinary slasher, and outrunning him may require more than just speed.
