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:

Hmm.. here's a few.
Humanoids From The Deep
Piranha
Blood Tide
Up From The Depths
Demon Of Paradise
Devilfish
Screamers
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

Leah

The Creature from the Haunted Sea
Horror of Party Beach
The Beach Girls and the Sea Monster
yeah no.

WingedSerpent

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.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Edit:
I just realized that Island of the Fishmen was mentioned under it's other name, Screamers.  I think that's supposed to be the heavily edited version, if I'm not mistaken.

And then there's Larry Buchanan's contributions:

CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE
IT'S ALIVE
CREATURE OF DESTRUCTION (rip off of Paul Blasidell's SHE CREATURE - also something of a killer sea creature)

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

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.

Rana, Legend Of Shadow Lake
