Kay is in trouble. A strange encounter in the woods has left her with no memory. Only one thing is certain: she is the spitting image of missing monster hunter, Barb Valentine. When an intruder breaks into her house, she runs, with no idea where she's going; but she knows her only chance to reconnect is to shed more light onto Barb's mysterious disappearance. Random encounters seem to point her in the right direction, but what was hoped to be a journey of self-discovery gradually becomes a hunt for the monster itself.

Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Incoherent narratives need to be offset by captivating visuals. “Kryptic” simply doesn’t have that in its favor. Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Alejandra Martinez Austin Chronicle The movie lays out a lot of interesting ideas about autonomy, self-discovery, and sexuality but it leaves them all at a surface level. Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Once the ambiguously framed story clicks its metaphor into place, Kryptic transforms into an unconventional slice of goopy cryptid horror. Rated: 3/5 Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a pleasingly different type of horror story. Rated: B May 19, 2025 Full Review Nairon Santos de Morais Loud and Clear Reviews Unfortunately, Kay is little more than a passenger on her own journey, even if the destination is one of self-fulfillment. Rated: 2.5/5 May 8, 2025 Full Review Josh Korngut Exclaim! It's a pleasure to witness — especially for gorehounds. Rated: 6/10 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

g j Some good ideas, but as a whole the film is too tonally inconsistent to bring them together compellingly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Katt A This movie is the most boring, yet confusing mess I've ever seen. It's either boring you to tears, making next to no sense, or showing you weird non-con intercut with weird monster intercourse with lots of "goo". If you're an SA survivor then I say avoid this at all costs tbh because it did not sit well with me AT ALL. A better body horror-esc movie would be Society. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review JOHN LASER M This movie is just a waste of time. The story line is just so poor. The concept is there though. It could've been a great movie with that concept with good story line and execution. But everything is downhill. The actors are good though! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Aldis H Not normally a fan of symbolically dense and nonsensically surreal movies, but in this one there is a thread that leaves a lot of cool things to be considered. And for once, I don't mind that nothing is super clear, and the ending is what you want it to be. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Matthew P Post traumatic stress disseminated as cinematic metaphor of the monster type... Unfortunately, rather than having this layer as an undercurrent, it's fully visible in the narrative... and this lack of subtext saps the film of a requirement that is essential for this type of story to be successful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Dennis A Don't listen to the reviews about not seeing Bigfoot the movie is excellent and the Bigfoot isn't the focus. It you want to see a Bigfoot movie they're are tons to choose from. This one is difference. And it's cool! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
