Synapse Films Looks To July 9 For The Blu-ray Release Of Director Sompote Sands' Crocodile

Synapse Films, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has tabbed July 9 as the street date for a Blu-ray edition of director Sompote Sands’ 1979 (1981 domestic theatrical release) post-Jaws creature feature, Crocodile.

When Jaws charged-up the box office in 1975 it was open season for any giant eating machine — in the ocean, on land or in the air — and counted among these was Sands’ atomic mutant tale, Crocodile.

For each market, including the United States, there was a slightly different version.   Synapse has been able to acquire the original 35mm camera negative for this restoration. 

Bonus features include deleted and alternate scenes, commentary from film historian Lee Gambin and a video session with the original director Won-se Lee.
