Kristy is a 2014 American horror film directed by Oliver Blackburn and starring Haley Bennett 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. The film premiered at the London Film Festival and also had theatrical releases internationally. In the United States, the film debuted on the Lifetime Network in October 2015, and was released on Netflix on November 5, 2015.
The film opens with a hooded figure photographing a young woman's corpse in an empty field, followed by a montage of internet screenshots and video of women being killed in what appears to be ritual murders by a cybercult, and footage of the murders being uploaded on an anonymous underground website, where members are encouraged to "kill Kristy," "Kristy" coming from a Latin name meaning "follower of God."
Meanwhile, college student Justine (Haley Bennett) and her boyfriend, Aaron, spend the afternoon together in her dorm room. It is the week of Thanksgiving, and Justine, who is attending college on scholarship, cannot afford to fly back to her parents' home for the holiday. Her roommate Nicole (Erica Ash), whom she planned to spend the holiday with on campus, leaves last-minute to fly to Aspen, Colorado to see her father, leaving Justine alone in her dormitory. Justine spends her Thanksgiving on campus in solitude, with the security guard Wayne (Mathew St. Patrick) being the only one nearby.
On Thanksgiving night, Justine takes Nicole's car to a convenience store to get a snack. Inside the store, a hooded girl, Violet (Ashley Greene) approaches Justine, complimenting her car and calling her beautiful. At the counter, the girl asks for a student discount on a pair of sunglasses, but has no ID. Justine offers to pay for them for her, and the girl refuses and calls her "Kristy." On the drive home, Justine nearly rear ends a mysterious car that is parked in the middle of the road. In the back window, she sees Violet, who draws the letter "K" on her window. Unnerved, Justine speeds off.
