Kryptic

Kay sets out to find Morgan, a cryptozoologist who vanished while tracking strange sightings. What starts as a missing-person case becomes a slow, unsettling investigation that blurs the line between fieldwork and personal obsession. As Kay follows Morgan's notes and talks to people linked to his research, odd evidence and unexplained events push her to question memory, identity, and what she thought she understood about the world. The film favors quiet, eerie moments over loud shocks, and relationships with allies and skeptics complicate the search. The investigation tests whom she trusts and demands difficult moral choices.

Kryptic was released in 2025, directed by Kourtney Roy and created by Paul Bromley, an original film starring Chloe Pirrie, with Jeff Gladstone, Jason Deline, Ali Rusu-Tahir, and Kamantha Naidoo. The ensemble gives the film a tightly focused, character-driven feel.

Box office figures for Kryptic are not widely reported, and the film appears to have had a limited theatrical run, relying on festival screenings, specialty market bookings, and later streaming windows rather than large-scale commercial distribution, and modest promotional support.

As of early coverage, Kryptic has not received major award nominations from bodies like the Academy or Golden Globes. It has attracted notice at genre screenings and small festivals for atmosphere and lead performances, though that attention has not translated into prominent trophies, and early reviews highlighted its technical craft.

Critical and audience reaction has been mixed, reflected in a 5.09/10 user vote from early viewers. Reviewers praise the film's atmosphere and Chloe Pirrie's performance, while some criticize its pacing and the slow unraveling of mystery; themes include identity, the unknown, and obsession, and audiences remain divided over its ambiguous ending.
