Orca 1977

A surprisingly tragic and moving animal attack/revenge thriller. This one had been sitting on my shelf for a while and I finally got around to watching it. I'm generally not a big fan of the genre of oversized animal attacking people, they usually feel too similar and has quite a stretched story. Turned out it's really good and way more serious than I had assumed. The idea of an animal seeking vengeance is so silly and the film somehow manages to pull it off fairly well with the serious tone it's going for as it has actual characters and decent performances. Some of the cinematography is excellent and there's a lot of strong technical qualities as well but let's be real, the perfect fitting and mesmerizing Ennio Morricone score does the real heavy lifting. All in all, this is awesome.
