All will be revealed when the movie releases in May.

KRYPTIC is coming to U.S. digital platforms from Well Go Entertainment and Canadian theaters from Game Theory Films on May 9. The directorial debut of Kourtney Roy, it was written by Paul Bromley and stars Chloe Pirrie, Jeff Gladstone and Jason Deline. The synopsis: Kay [Pirrie] 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.”
