American Cryptids

Despite of never even having heard anything about this 2025 movie titled "American Cryptids", as I stumbled upon it by random chance, of course I opted to give it a fair chance. I am a big fan of all things horror after all.

This movie, however, was a horror anthology. And that usually tends to be questionable affairs.

Writer Joseph Zettelmaier put together a script and storyline that didn't really entertain me. Sure, there were some nice things to the narrative, but in overall, it just felt like random stories told without much of any direction or having any point to why they were being told. So I wasn't particularly impressed or entertained. And truth be told, I ended up with my phone in hand, whilst the movie carried on playing as background noise.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with actor Daniel Roebuck. The acting performances in "American Cryptids" were okay.

The production value in "American Cryptids" was actually surprisingly good.

This is definitely not a movie I would recommend horror fans to spend 102 minutes on watching.

My rating of director Erynn Dalton's 2025 movie "American Cryptids" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I had to bail out after fifteen minutes. Bad acting, bad script, looks like it was shot with a home video camera. The great thing about technology is it has allowed anyone with a phone to be a filmmaker. That's also a terrible thing.

I need 67 more characters to complete this review. Bad, bad, bad, awful.
