In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Orca (1977)
A horror directed by Michael Anderson.
A fishing crew catches and kills a pregnant whale. The mate of this whale follows them, seeking revenge.
This has been compared to Jaws and I can see why. The action shots of the animal killing people are very similar, as is the premise. I just thought it was lame in general. There were so many shots of the whale jumping out of the water that it got old really fast. The final confrontation scene was set among these really cool looking icebergs, but otherwise it was lame too. I'm rating this poor.
