Agape with an exquisite polished brown decor of moodiness bordering on vagary and vice versa, The Wisdom of Crocodiles is a competent world in search of a story. I wanted desperately to live in the world director Po Chih Leong, his production designer Andy Harris, composers John Lunn and Orlando Gough, cinematographer Oliver Curtis and costume designer Anna Sheppard had created. Living vicariously through Paul Hoffman's quintessentially by-the-numbers script tends to dilute the experience.

Surprised no one had done this wrinkle on the vampire story before and that this never became a cult film and just passed into obscurity. Great script and production design.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
