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

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... Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

A well-crafted movie that served horror, drama, and creature all on the same plate. Go to Full Review

Glenda B Apr 6 Very boring dialogue, creature was ridiculous and poorly filmed. A waste of time. See more Kyle D 03/30/2024 Garbage waste of a time movie. See more Gaming U 03/04/2024 Scary, entertaining, great creature design too! Super underrated movie tbh See more brad p 02/21/2023 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. See more Cruz C 02/18/2023 This movie should be called "Verbal Diarrhea" because it's basically 30 minutes of action weighed down by 70 minutes of the lead characters blabbing about themselves. I've never wanted to know less about characters ever. Oh and the lead character is a complete douche nozzle. Why people WHY?!! See more Marcus E @a22matic 02/09/2023 Nice try, but unfortunately the small budget tanked any chances of this movie being great. It was a very good story, very strong attempt. The plot made sense, but the lack of investment showed, literally. Proper night lighting was the glaring deficiency. Acts 1-2 were very good, but it all fell apart in Act 3. The creature had to be seen in this Act, no more hiding it. No investment in the creature, absolutely none. This movie is a out the creature, so to not invest a dime in that says it all. If they don't increase the budget for part 2, I won't watch. See more Read all reviews
