Storyline
This "found-footage" film is set in 2009 in the town of Claridge, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. During the town's annual 4th of July Crab Festival, townspeople become sick, exhibiting a variety of symptoms, which leads local news reporters to suspect something has infected the water there. No one is sure what it is or how it's transmitted, but as people start to behave strangely, and others turning up dead, fear spawns into panic. The town is shut down as government authorities confiscate video footage from every media or personal source they find, in an effort to cover-up the incident. But one local reporter who witnessed the epidemic, was able to document, assemble, and hide this film in hopes that one day, the horrible truth would be revealed . . .

Trivia
Director Barry Levinson was approached to do a documentary about the Chesapeake bay. He watched another documentey about the Chesapeake bay that talked about the pollution and the lack of fish. He said it was a great documentary but nobody will care about it. And so he said he would take all of the facts about the Chesapeake bay and turn it into a theatrical base piece. See more »Goofs

The acting was pretty bad (with some exceptions) the story was very derivative, and the dialog was cringe-worthy. I feel the only reason they used "found footage" format was to save money in the post production, although some of the special effects and make-up weren't THAT bad. What really got to me was how bad the "science" was. Everything said that was suppose to be factual or scientific was just so mind-numbingly stupid and just plain wrong, I had to roll my eyes and slap my forehead. At the end of the movie my eyes hurt and I have a bruise.
If you have less than a 10th grade education, love found footage, love infection/horror movies and have seen everything else in the genre, maybe try this movie if you are really bored. Otherwise, just turn on a random SyFy original and chances are it will be much better than this.
