This is definitely not The Sandman that we know! While everyone else knows that The Sandman sprinkles magic sand to lull kids to  a good night's sleep this bird-like creature literally gorges eyes out!  Twisted,  grotesque, hair-raising! But these elements, heightened by the rising crescendo of background piano music helps build up the suspense and makes the film so effective.  From the start, one can see the disproportioned lines, the curves and the stairs that  seemed to go on forever.  All of these visual techniques contribute to the essence of this flick. Do check out this flick!
