Orca
Terror just beneath the surface.
Directed by Michael Anderson
Produced by DDL Cinematografica, Famous Films Productions
A dark creature-revenge thriller that pits human arrogance against an intelligent, grieving predator seeking vengeance in the cold waters of Newfoundland.
After witnessing the killing of his mate and offspring at the hands of a reckless Irish captain, a vengeful killer whale rampages through the fisherman's Newfoundland harbor. Under pressure from the villagers, the captain, a female marine biologist, and an Indigenous tribalist venture after the great beast, who will meet them on its own turf.
