The Bay (film)

The Bay is a 2012 American found footage horror film, directed by Barry Levinson and written by Michael Wallach. It premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in theaters on November 2, 2012.

On July 4, 2009, a seaside Chesapeake Bay town nestled on Marylands Eastern Shore thrives on water. When two researchers find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to take action fearing that he will create a panic. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning humans into hosts for a deadly, mutant breed of the parasite Cymothoa exigua.The entire town is overwhelmed by chaos as these aggressive creatures start infecting the people one by one. This spins off into several stories. The most prominent is that of a young inexperienced news reporter and her cameraman, who are in the town to report on the 4th of July festivities. She also explains the occurrences as the movie proceeds in an offscene personal recording. The other stories include two oceanographers who first discovered the parasites two onduty police deputies investigating a residential area a young unsuspecting couple taking a last swim a teenage girl using FaceTime to send a desperate message to a friend a doctor who informs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the developing situation at the local hospital and, among others, a young married couple with an infant aboard a vessel who sail towards their familys home to reunite for the holidays, unaware of the horrific events unfolding on the mainland. ........
