There's little structure to it, the pacing feels off, and we follow so many characters that it is hard for the viewer to get to know any one of them. Despite its strengths, however, "The Bay" is still encumbered by some noticeable flaws. The filmmakers really do serve up a thoughtful, serious cautionary tale that is sometimes frightening. I think a story with this scope, and with this many characters, would have made a fine ecological techno-thriller novel. Some of those actors are quite good - especially those portraying emergency professionals, like the local emergency room doctor, the staff for the Centers for Disease Control and the bureaucrat from the Department of Homeland Security. "The Bay" follows a number of intertwining narratives winding through the entire town, making use of more than a dozen actors and innumerable extras. And they make nice use of a time-honored sci-fi standby - pollutants causing small organisms to mutate into large ones. In depicting a brutal parasitic infection eradicating a small coastal town, writers Barry Levinson and Michael Wallach appear familiar with the basics of epidemiology and public health. "The Bay" (2012) deserves credit for its effort to give viewers a detailed and well developed, found-footage science fiction-horror movie. One of the best representatives of the genre in 2012. They are all just parts of the big picture."The Bay" became a good horror film about an environmental disaster.
Aside from the person on whose behalf the narration follows (Kether Donohue as Donna Thompson), there are no central characters. The whole atmosphere of chaos, fear, and panic is conveyed wonderfully. There are no famous actors in the caste, but they are not needed either. There is simply no one to find fault with. All attention is drawn to the events on the screen.The cast also deserves praise. Despite the use of different camera techniques and different characters, you do not lose the essence of what is happening. The events are shown by footage of the journalists filming the report, and footages of the police, doctors, ordinary residents of the city. Everything is edited like a real documentary. The film turned out to be interesting and exciting. At the same time, the hand of the master is felt - the director is Barry Levinson ("Rain Man"). Reporter's camera, police car camera, teenager's mobile phone, street surveillance, and others. The film's budget was $2 million.The filmmakers decided to show some originality within the genre and collected filming not only from a couple of cameras, but from many. Years after the tragedy, documentary filmmakers are trying to put together all available material about the terrible incident.
The Bay is a pseudo-documentary about the events taking place in the town of Claridge on the shores of Chesapeake Bay, where an epidemic occurred on July 4 - the mutated parasites Cymothoa exigua moved from fish to eating human flesh.
