The creature feature sees release this week.

KRYPTIC will arrive on U.S. digital platforms from Well Go Entertainment and Canadian theaters from Game Theory Films on Friday, May 9. Kourtney Roy makes her directorial debut on the movie from a script by Paul Bromley; Chloe Pirrie, Jeff Gladstone and Jason Deline star. 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.”
