Thai movie จระเข้ผีสิง was released in year 1993 and lasts 1h24mn. It is available under VCD format released by company Lepso (1h24mn) and Yod Maa Nud Ltd (1h07mn so one VCD disc only but the image is colorful and sharp). It is typical Thai horror movie from decade 1990s featuring scary / comic sequences and targeted for provincial audience. Fx are poor due to small budget. The original 35mm movie picture in 16:9 format is cut on each side to fit TV 4:3 format. An old man called Lek is killed by a crocodile while trying to fish at nighttime. Young beautiful lady Chaoba (แม่คนสวย) is harassed by three villagers but she gets rid of them. Chook (Bin Banleurit) writes a love letter to Chaoba but he is using old style. He is planning to ask her hand to her parents. While Chaoba is bathing in the river, she is attacked by the crocodile. Chook meets Chaoba’s father Prachot (Mum Jokmok) but she has disappeared. Chook believes Chaoba rejects his request for wedding. Local village headman (พี่ผู้ใหญ่) is requested for help. He decides to consult a local master (อาจารย์). The master identifies that Chaoba is dead and that a danger in the river is threatening the whole village. Meanwhile villagers organise a boat race. The crocodile (ไอ้เข้) disrupts the race. Chook has serious arguments with some villagers led by Chat. Chat is claiming Chook just loses the race and invents the crocodile story as a pretext. So a fighting occurs. The master requests three days to prepare special weapon to kill the crocodile. Chook is not willing to wait and wishes to kill the crocodile by himself. During a dream, Chaoba ghost is back and tells Chook to beware some villagers wishing to kill him. Chaoba’s spirit (วิญญาณ) helps to chase away ruffians trying to kill Chook. The master tries to neutralize the crocodile, which rejects Chaoba from his body. Chook has to put a sacred thread around her neck. The spirit is captured into a earthen pot. This part reminds of movie Mae Nak Pra Khanong (แม่นาคพระโขนง). The master gives holy weapons to Chook and his friends to get rid of the crocodile. The crocodile is defeated but the master also dies being killed by the crocodile spirit.
