Cryptic

Synopsis

One night. One crypt... Eight notorious members of London's crime world are sent to guard a coffin in a graveyard crypt. Nobody knows why and nobody even knows what's inside the coffin. Once locked inside the crypt, it's not long before old grudges and rivalries flare up, making it impossible for the group to stick to their orders. The stakes are raised when it is discovered that a new vigilante in town is a vampire and could be amongst the group. One by one members of the group are mysteriously killed off. With no way out, a cat and mouse game of 'who done it' begins. But vampires don't really exist...do they?

Featuring music by Welsh artists including Super Furry Animals, John Cale and High Contrast.
