Revealing mistakes: When Orca attacks Ken, it's seen that the orca grabs Ken's arm with its jaws, and then drags him into the water. However in the shot where orca drags Ken into the water, the Orca has nothing in its jaws, and Ken is nowhere to be found. This hints that a video of an orca jumping and splashing was used to complete the effect. moreQuotes:
Rachel: I'd insisted on leaving South Harbor with them. I told myself that somehow I was responsible for Nolan's state of mind. That I had filled his head with romantic notions about a whale capable not only of profound grief, which I believed, but also of calculated and vindictive actions, which I found hard to be believe, despite all that had happened. moreMovie Connections:

Even the story is quite lame, an orca whale eating people because it is seeking revenge. This movie is bad on all levels. While you might find a scene or two worth watching, the rest of this movie should be thrown away, far away. There is no excitement, just lots of people getting eaten by a killer whale. If you want a really good movie about killer fish -yes, yes, i know, a whale isn't a fish- then go see Jaws.
