"Cryptid" is the quintessential creature feature throwback. We say throwback, but truth be told, it's not a complete throwback, as in the 50's sense. It's more like a seventies or eighties throwback.  


Films like "Alien", "JAWS", and "The Thing", those kinds of throwbacks, the classics!  


The story centers on a slacker journalist, named Max, who discovers that a series of grisly animal attacks in his sleepy little town of Maine is not what it first appears to be. Certain the authorities are on the wrong track, he takes it upon himself, along with his photographer partner Harriet, to uncover the mystery behind these gruesome killings before it's too late.  


It's "JAWS" meets "Zodiac": A little bit mystery, a little bit of a redemptive character piece, and a little bit of creature carnage. It is the Triforce of horror films.  


We put together a proof-of-concept first scene of the film below to give you a taste of the movie we want to make. Then head over to our StartEngine page and see how you can own a piece of this film while also helping us get it made.
