The quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds, and eventually their bodies.

Uma montagem de 80 minutos de tomadas de reportagens fictícias que é tão inventiva como se fosse uma reportagem televisiva editada durante meia hora para as notícias da noite — mas como é fictícia, não tem impacto no espetador. Sem personagens importantes, sem surpresas ou momentos de assusto. Nos anos setenta teria sido o primeiro filme do seu sub-género a surpreender e a ser comentado, mas hoje em dia é suficiente, no máximo, para o estatuto dum título de DVD sem significado com uma capa tentadora. 2 estrelas muito fracas.

I can rationally appreciate the interesting concept and its good and convincing execution, but The Bay can’t entertain me just with that. Due to its report character, the film doesn’t work as horror, and doesn’t even try to, it’s wannabe unsettling, rather. I don’t know, I didn’t get much out of it. I prefer a real documentary about real problems or a normal horror flick about parasites.

Barry Levinson also employs shots where we see nothing; the image freezes, and the camera doesn’t capture anything visible, creating only a sense of dread. A few years ago it was a complete bombshell; now it’s just another film that blends into a series of similar ones, standing out only for its slightly better execution and development of the story, where you feel like it’s really happening.
