CRIMPS is a supernatural thriller/horror film, though not of the blood-and-guts variety.  It's the story of Eddie Hooper, who travels from Miami to a small Oregon town in search of his missing brother.  As it turns out, many other young men have also vanished from the town under mysterious circumstances.  Rumors abound regarding Veronica Chandler, a beautiful recluse who may or may not be involved in the disappearances.  Eddie dedicates himself to learning the truth, in the course of which he develops a dangerous fascination with Veronica.  As he delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, he begins to realize that he may very well be the next victim.
