Kristy is a 2014 American horror thriller film directed by Oliver Blackburn and starring Haley Bennett, Chris Coy, Mike Seal, Lucius Falick and Ashley Greene.
The plot follows a college student who stays on campus alone over Thanksgiving break and finds herself terrorized by a cult of ritual killers.
In the United States, the film debuted on Lifetime on October 17, 2015, and was released on Netflix on November 5, 2015.
A hooded figure photographs a young woman's corpse in an empty field, followed by a montage of Internet screenshots and videos of women being killed in ritual murders by a cybercult.
Footage of the murders is uploaded on an anonymous underground website where members are encouraged to "kill Kristy", a name of Latin origin meaning "follower of God".
College student Justine is attending a private university in the Northeastern United States on financial aid, and is unable to afford to fly home for Thanksgiving.
Inside the store, a hooded girl, Violet, compliments the car and later asks for a student discount on sunglasses at the counter.
The four cult killers assemble, and Violet begins recording Justine, telling her that they will hunt her and that she should "run to God".
Justine responds "yes" and finds photos of the cult's other victims, with their declaration to kill the "Kristys" of the world: pure, beautiful, and privileged women who they believe follow God.
