"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

"People go missing 'round here... It's like the forest just swallows them up."

Well Go USA has revealed the official trailer for an indie mystery thriller film called Kryptic, from last year's SXSW, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Kourtney Roy.

A young woman searches for a missing monster hunter, realizing she has an inextricable bond with the creature being pursued. Sometimes when you go hunting for a monster, the monster finds you first. In Kourtney Roy's debut feature Kryptic, Kay's pursuit of a missing cryptzoologist leads to her riveting cosmic quest for identity. A horror film unlike any other... Starring Chloe Pirrie as Kay, Jeff Gladstone, Jason Deline, Ali Rusu-Tahir, Christina Meredith Lewall, Patti Allan, and Pam Kearns.

The style of the hoodie reminds me of Little Nightmares.

Also, the trailer seems to be giving a lot of the story away.
