I recently ran into the movie Barracuda doing some random searching on the Internet and it made me think.  How many movies are out there that have some sort of killer sea creature in it?  I'm not talking about sharks or octopi here, I talking about the odd ball sort of killer water creatures, the ones that film makers don't normally look at.  As such, how many killer sea creature films can you name that don't involve a shark or octopus?

To start things off, here's Barracuda:

I'll add Orca
Despite Killer whales being one of the top ocean predators (who have been know to attack and kill great whites), Sea World has painted them as almost cartoon characters.  

Then the was Blood Beach where the killer creature is some sort of sea anenmome  that lives in the sand.

Blood Beach

*Shivers* Don't remind me of that crap.  The film bored me almost to death.

                 DEEP RISING comes to mind with its huge deep-sea worms that
                 wreck havoc on an ocean liner.

Yeah, that's probably the edited version.  I just remember seeing it in the papers as a little kid as "Screamers" with the tagline: "They're men turned inside out.. and even worse.. they're STILL ALIVE!", which I heard is totally misleading.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
