Let's get this out of the way: in spite of what synopsis and trailers may (mis)lead you to believe, this is not a found-footage monster movie. So, if you wanted Paranormal Activity: the Dagon Edition, don't bother.
The Bay is a competent, unnerving ecological thriller, a disaster movie about a sea community devastated by polluted water and plague-bearing parasites.
Unlike your typical found footage flick, a veteran director (Barry Levinson) is at the helm, and it shows: it's much better filmed than the average level for the genre. The final act, with hideous overgrown parasites crawling around the deserted town, has a truly nightmarish quality to it.
7/10
