A character-forward cabin-in-the-woods horror feature set around the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Told in a non-linear style with a subtext of gender and queer politics, “Cryptodome” combines the claustrophobic horror of Stephen King’s “Misery” with the surreal, sexualized metaphors of Haruki Murakami’s “Kafka on the Shore”.
“With an eclectic mix of complex characters, a series of unexpected plot turns and a plethora of poignant themes...the script feels ready for production...there’s no doubt that [Cryptodome] has potential to be a heart-pounding, original feature film.” ~ScreenCraft Horror Feature Competition (Semifinalist)
