Logan’s Run director Michael Anderson’s Orca starring Richard Harris (Harry Potter 1 & 2) is coming to Blu-ray for the first time in North America via Scream Factory this summer.
Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date. There’s a reverse cover with alternate theatrical art too. Check it out below!
Based on Arthur Herzog’s novel of the same name, the film follows this synopsis: Sleek, intelligent, beautiful … and hell-bent on revenge. Producer Dino De Laurentiis (King Kong, Ragtime) and director Michael Anderson join forces to present the rousing action-adventure tale of ORCA. It’s the story of one powerful being against another: a strong, determined fisherman (Richard Harris, Unforgiven) versus an equally determined killer whale. When the giant whale’s pregnant mate is maimed and killed by Harris, the whale seeks vengeance: smashing boats, attacking a seacoast village, and eventually luring his human adversaries to a final confrontation in the marine creature’s own arctic turf.
Directed by Michael Anderson, the creature feature also stars Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson, and Bo Derek. The film sports a mere 10% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Content to regurgitate bits of better horror movies, Orca: The Killer Whale is a soggy shark thriller with frustratingly little bite. Uh. I remember it being scary as a kid…
Scream Factory will unleash Orca onto Blu-ray on June 30, 2020.
