It is this realism that makes The Bay so unnerving and disturbing.

Using security footage, mobile phones, home video, police cameras, video phone calls, TV clips, internet pages and more, the story tracks the outbreak from its origins to the resulting mass panic and chaos revealing to us what was hidden by others until now.įar beyond the dire found footage horrors that have filled our screens in recent years, The Bay uses the language of documentary expertly in the same way Lake Mungo did. We also follow a young couple with a baby returning home for the 4th of July holidays as they all become aware, and ultimately involved in, the terrible infestation that is taking over the town. Put together as a documentary on the events that unfolded in the seaside resort of Chesapeake Bay, we follow a myriad of characters including the police, a local doctor, a young news reporter, a pair of researchers looking into the thousands of dead fish in the area. Ecological horror, The Bay is a frightening found footage film that plunges the audience into a very real and very nasty story, all about a small town decimated by an invasion that they never saw coming.
