ReviewIt begins with a great idea, and one can appreciate the development of the script, but somewhere in its structuring and performances, the great idea gets a little lost.CrisThat Chup has managed to contain itself is proven by the fact that I could write this review without shaky hands, without constantly looking behind me, wondering if there is a hooded figure ready to pounce with a knife.
