Orca (Aka: Orca: The Killer Whale) is a damn odd 1977 creature feature directed by Michael Anderson and produced by Dino De Laurentiis, that was designed to cash-in on the success of Jaws. Where Steven Spielberg’s movie is a character driven, suspense movie, Orca is all over the shop; veering between such themes of environmentalism, horror and revenge. Furthermore the revenge in question is exacted by the titular whale against Richard Harris. It’s sort of a reverse Moby Dick situation. Ponder that for a moment. This is a movie about a whale getting even. Make no mistake, this is a cinematic mess, yet because of its European production credentials it is still morbidly fascination.
