Opinions:
” …any film that has a lizard man that walks on two legs and eats people — and animals — earlier than hibernating as a substitute of going with one thing straightforward like Bigfoot wins my coronary heart. It’s just a little talky in locations and could possibly be trimmed considerably, however for a low-budget shot in Massachusetts horror film, it’s fairly darn good. These guys are going for a 70s or 80s monster film and that makes me tremendous pleased.” B&S About Movies
“The story is there and, presumably a franchise however Rego might use a really sensible, trusted editor both on the writing stage or within the modifying room. Regardless of a couple of faults, Cryptid was a well-crafted film that served horror, drama, and creature all on the identical plate. It might have been tightened up a bit however people, maintain your eye on Rego.” Horror Buzz
“The chemistry between Baroudi and Adair is tremendous, with their characters having a “Will they or received’t they?” relationship that provides to the drama. Cryptid follows some monster film tropes however strong course and fascinating performances maintain it persistently entertaining and extremely watchable. ” Horror Fuel
” …the holes they maintain discovering within the floor the place the creature comes and goes from are the dimensions of a rabbit, whereas the upright lizard they present is about 6 toes tall (sure, the factor stands upright.) The entire thing is a shiny creature function from the 50s. With none suspense and no kills to talk of.” 3.8 out of 10, Jackmeats Flix
“The ultimate battle with the cryptid does ultimately come, however it’s obscured by funky lighting and darkish cryptid caverns. It’s apparent that the cryptid is a staid little bit of sensible results, however it’s efficient, endearing, and fairly dam freaky. Whereas Cryptid suffers from some minor points, the top product is an efficient one which’s crammed with fairly strong performances and a few respectable sensible results.” 3 out of 5 stars, The Scariest Things
“The movie’s greatest asset is its progressively revealed monster. The script builds as much as a coveted third act, with the promise that it’ll scare. Cryptid generally appears like discovered footage and generally like a creepypasta. We spend most of our time in dimmed environments and that’s just a little daunting.” Tales of Terror
“The reveal of simply what the cryptid is will in all probability be a bit divisive relying on how plausible you want your creatures. Personally, I used to be fairly proud of what it turned out to be […] Cryptid is, when all is alleged and achieved, an above-average creature function that was only a good edit away from reaching its full potential.” 3.5 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
