Wiki.
Crocodile Man (Kropeu Charavan in Khmer, also known as Kraithong Krapeu Chalawon in Thai or A Water Warrior and a Crocodile Man) is a widely acclaimed Cambodian horror film released in 1972 by Hui Keung. It starred Khmer actress Dy Saveth and singer Pen Ran, two iconic figures of Cambodian culture of the time. It was released in Thailand and Hong Kong along with another 1972 Khmer film, The Snake King's Wife, which brought back a successful grossing. It has become one of the more enduring creations from the nation's pre-communist era and copies are still sold today with English and Chinese subtitles.
