Watch The Bay For Free
The Bay
Two million fish washed ashore. One thousand blackbirds dropped from the sky. On July 4, 2009 a deadly menace swept through the quaint seaside town of Claridge, Maryland, but the harrowing story of what happened that Independence Day has never been told—until now. The authorities believed they had buried the truth about the tragedy that claimed over 700 human lives. Now, three years later, a reporter has emerged with footage revealing the cover-up and an unimaginable killer: a mysterious parasitic outbreak. Told from the perspective of those who were there and saw what happened, The Bay unfolds over 24 hours through people's iPhones, Androids, 911 calls, webcams, and whatever else could be used to document the nightmare in Claridge. What follows is a nerve-shredding tale of a small town plunged into absolute terror.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This movie had a decent plot and delivered a story with some very minor plot twists. It had a very straight path with no little guessing on what would happen next. Decent movie if you like the "documentary" style film. Worth the watch but don't expect a movie you will suggest to your friends.
More of a slow burning science (part fiction) thriller. I rated this a 5 but by no means is this a rubbish movie. The found footage is enticing rather than annoying, and there are some scenes which might make you jump or squirm - i definitely was itching! I think the good thing is that the female lead was pretty strong and the acting wasn't bad at all!! Quite believable all the way through The thing about this film is that its quite disturbing in parts. There's also a good pace and the film doesn't stay in one place but keeps moving. What resinates with me is that that is how governments will act, all the secrecy, the cover ups, that is realistic. So the movie does keep you watching. Its not long anyway for the viewer that might get bored. just don't expect big budget and don't expect horror scares.
Barry Levinson, master film maker extrodinaire, takes the "found footage" genre and makes it his own with this fantastic masterpiece of a cautionary tale of environmental catastrophe. Working from his own original story, Levinson uses his camera like a scalpel, cutting away the facade of indifference to the inevitable and forcing the audience to clearly see the potential horror that awaits society. This is an important film, shocking in the implications it presents and skillfully realized by one of our greatest motion picture directors. It is certainly some of his best work and his most unusual as well. Few of us who have experienced this cinematic triumph will ever sleep soundly again.
The Blair Witch Project cursed us with found footage and the whole raft of truly awful films. So when I discovered it was a found footage film my heart sank and the TV presented saying "there is something in the water that does not want to stay in the water" my heart further sank I thought we would have Godzilla on found footage. This is more of a horror documentary which does not overdose on gore, I watched the awful Into the Storm which made the mistake of having a really flimsy sub plot which did not work, The Bay has no real sub plot but has a claustrophobic terror and a few jolts such as when the creature jumps from the fish's mouth, the blood dropping down onto the reporter and the woman in the back of the police car. This is an excellent concept and although classed as found footage does not go overboard with jerky camera work.
