Red Sands (2009)

A group of soldiers on reconnaissance in Afghanistan destroy an ancient statue unleashing the Djinn that lived within it.

The soldiers are required to stay in a small building in the middle of nowhere and keep an eye on a nonexistent road. In the middle of the night, a young woman appears out of a sandstorm and seeks refuge with them. No one notices that she is not what she seems. The men start having strange dreams and seeing things which are not there.

There is a scene where a soldier accuses another of killing one of the other men in the platoon. The problem is it might have made a bigger impression if I'd have known the guy who killed the soldier was one of their own unit and not a stranger. I don't remember ever seeing this guy before.
