A cute little mindbender that slightly loses itself during the middle part. The characters and events just weren't as weird and/or kooky as Roy intended them to be, and even though the mystery elements are intriguing, not all that much is done with them. Then again, if you're looking for a headscratcher, this is a very good bet.
Pirrie does a good job as the lead, the rest of the cast isn't quite on the same level. The horror elements are a tad disappointing, the mystery is fun but feels like a cut-and-paste job from other films (Kryptic has been described as Lynchian) and the conclusion wasn't that gratifying. There's quite a bit of fun to be had with this film, but the potential was there to do better.
