Evaluations:
” …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 simple like Bigfoot wins my coronary heart. It’s a bit of talky in locations and may very well 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 joyful.” B&S About Films
“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 enhancing room. Regardless of just a few 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, preserve your eye on Rego.” Horror Buzz

” …the holes they preserve discovering within the floor the place the creature comes and goes from are the scale of a rabbit, whereas the upright lizard they present is about 6 ft tall (sure, the factor stands upright.) The entire thing is a shiny creature characteristic 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, nevertheless it’s obscured by funky lighting and darkish cryptid caverns. It’s apparent that the cryptid is a staid little bit of sensible results, nevertheless it’s efficient, endearing, and fairly dam freaky. Whereas Cryptid suffers from some minor points, the tip product is an efficient one which’s stuffed with fairly stable performances and a few respectable sensible results.” 3 out of 5 stars, The Scariest Issues
“The movie’s finest asset is its regularly revealed monster. The script builds as much as a coveted third act, with the promise that it’ll scare. Cryptid typically seems like discovered footage and typically like a creepypasta. We spend most of our time in dimmed environments and that’s a bit of daunting.” Tales of Terror
“The reveal of simply what the cryptid is will most likely be a bit divisive relying on how plausible you want your creatures. Personally, I used to be fairly pleased with what it turned out to be […] Cryptid is, when all is claimed and accomplished, an above-average creature characteristic that was only a good edit away from reaching its full potential.” 3.5 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
