After causing the
death of a pregnant killer whale, a headstrong fisherman brings upon the wrath
of the whale’s mate, which brings terror to a small fishing village and
ultimately forces a showdown in the icy seas. Composer Ennio Morricone delivers
a good score that helps to elevate the film above the somewhat pulpy
post-“Jaws” craze that followed after Steven Spielberg’s original classic.
Presented in an
anamorphic (2.35:1) aspect ratio, I was surprised at how good “Orca: The
Killer Whale” looked on DVD. The picture quality is not perfection throughout,
but overall it is very solid. A clear English Two-Channel Monaural Soundtrack is
also encoded onto the DVD along with English Captions and Closed Captions for
the hearing impaired as options.
The interactive
menus are standard still frames and are all easy to navigate. No extra value
features are encoded onto the disc, but the suggested retail price is a low
$14.99, which means you can probably purchase this title for less on or offline
if you shop around. “Orca: The Killer Whale” is available on DVD-Video now
from Paramount Home Entertainment.
