Sometimes when you go hunting for a monster, the monster finds you first. In Kourtney Roy’s debut feature Kryptic, a woman’s search for a missing cryptzoologist leads to her own riveting cosmic quest for identity. Oozing psycho-sexual anxiety, Kryptic feints toward creature-feature quirk, but its oddity morphs into something altogether stranger, slipping and sliding across fixed identities like a David Lynch movie, purposefully pitching us into a cosmic space beyond sat nav, where our coordinates have been scrambled. A horror unlike any other.
