In general, I think this movie had a lot of ideas, and couldn't quite bring them into one cohesive story, but I will say I really like the basic idea behind Cripp. I think it's kind of interesting that he just naturally Is A Freak, but that doesn't actually make him a bad person. He's just a weirdo! The only thing that motivates him to actually serve as an antagonist is completely reasonable. He thinks a kid got killed right in front of him, and he failed to save him. It's honestly kind of heroic, just filtered through this very strange dude.
