Cryptid is the cinematic equivalent of comfort food, with the soothing feel of childhood memories and no nutrition at all.

Rated: 6/10

Enterprising Cryptid has its plusses, though they’re compromised...this movie absolutely does not need to be almost two hours long, with characters stopping to yak even at the lethal climax. It’s worth a look on a slow evening...

This movie cuts off its dynamite at every turn which makes it hard to have a good time as a viewer. It’s also a very long journey for so little reward.

Rated: 2/5

If you can imagine a so-called thriller with no jump scares and where every scene - literally every one - is expository, this is the horror flick for you. Maybe after the film, you can pop a brew and sit and talk about it, just like the characters in this movie do. I for one prefer at least a hint of tension arc. Chops to Rego for courage though. Most writers and directors are terrified of the dreaded, boring, and static exposition scene, but Rego dives right in, not with only one, but stringing them together, one after another ad snoozium. He has attempted the impossible, the first all-exposition movie. Does that mean he has succeeded? Not on my ticket.
