Review of Orca (1977) by Gordon T — 08 Oct 2012
How devastating . . . .think about it:
Orca's pregnant wife is harpooned; captured. Then gives birth to a fetus while on the whaling-ship's deck.
Both Orca's wife and Orca's fatally injured child are thrown overboard. Orca's wife, barely alive, now commits suicide by ramming herself into the whaling-ship's roaring-propellers. ALL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ORCA HIMSELF!
Its sickening and heartbreaking.
KING KONG (1976) meets JAWS!
I love it and cry every time I see it, even though it gets only a 15 Percent, ORCA is still a tremendously great film (seen through the eyes of a 7-year old).
Ennio Morricone's score and Carol Conners' vocals complete the picture's resonant impact upon me.
