Review of Orca (1977) by Ashley H — 07 Oct 2018
Surprisingly good tale of the costs of revenge. It is not nearly as much of a "Jaws" rip-off as its reputation suggests. The filmmakers actually manage to develop the audience's sympathy for both Richard Harris' character and for the killer whale.
Nice mix of real whale and rubber whale footage (which frankly looks more realistic than Bruce the Shark from "Jaws"). Still silly and hokey in parts, but more worthwhile than you average Jaws-clone.
