[AFM ’13] ‘Cryptic’ Trailer Debut Guards A Vampire’s Coffin….
Doing some serious AFM digging, we got our paws on the first trailer, art and impressive stills from Next Level Films’ Cryptic, from co-filmmakers Bart Ruspoli and Freddie Hutton-Mills.
Starring Ed Stoppard, Robert Glenister, Dan Feuerriegel, Ray Panthaki, and Vas Blackwood, “One night. One Crypt…A crypt to which 8 members from various reaches of London’s underworld are sent to guard a coffin. Why? Nobody knows. And nobody knows what’s inside said coffin…Not even the bloke that organized its purchase and delivery. All the group have are their orders…to guard it with their lives..literally.
But soon old grudges and new animosities start to flare up, making it almost impossible for the group to stick to their orders …All worsened by the rumour that a vigilante bumping off their men off on the streets is actually a vampire, and could be one of the group….But vampires don’t really exist….do they?“

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
