Oh, I dunno, Dave... he made some terrible movies in the late '70s. Not long after ORCA, there's THE CLONUS HORROR and LASERBLAST, for example.

ORCA always seemed to me to be an effort to turn MOBY DICK inside out by making the whale the vengeance-crazed character and the sea captain the target. But I hope that I'm wrong-- that's such a stupid thing to do to Melville... why would anyone want to do that?
