Sinopsis(1)
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.

Una compilación de 80 minutos de tomas de reportaje ficticias, que es tan ingeniosa como si fuera un reportaje televisivo de media hora editado para las noticias de la noche, pero como es ficticia, no tiene impacto en el espectador. Sin personajes de enlace, sin sorpresas o sustos. En los años setenta, sorprendería por ser la primera película del relevante subgénero y se escribiría sobre ella, pero hoy basta como máximo a un insignificante título de DVD con una atractiva portada. 2 estrellas muy débiles.

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.
