I was wondering whether or not I would “spoil” this movie, but there’s really nothing to spoil.
You really should be using stronger sunblock. People don’t learn what’s happening until it’s too late, and through all the water being consumed in the town and the water misters brought in to keep everyone cool, every resident of the town gets infected, leading to lots of scenes of isopods bursting out of people’s skin, and Donna being the only one wanting to get the truth out there. There appears to be an isopod in the bay that has mutated from a nuclear incident a few years prior and through the tremendous amount of animal waste, that’s filled with hormones and steroids, which is running into the bay from a nearby farm. The footage from the marine biologists shows them discovering infected fish in the water, filled with parasitic larvae. Outbreaks start happening of people being covered in boils and blisters and filling up the local hospital, as well as bodies starting to pop up that appear to be victims of extreme acts of violence. Donna was a reporter covering the festivities, which were your typical summertime fun activities, like crab eating contests, watersports, and general tomfoolery.
We see footage from her camera crew, marine biologists out in Chesapeake Bay, hospital employees in contact with the Center for Disease Control, and residents of the town. She uses footage that was supposedly confiscated by the government, which has since been leaked, to piece some sort of documentary together. It’s summer time.ĭonna ( Kether Donohue) is having a video chat with someone and is talking about the truth behind events that happened in a small Maryland town over 4th of July weekend. And like Sphere, The Bay deals with shit that lives in the water, except instead of trying to kill Sharon Stone, they’re trying to kill a bunch of unknown actors.
THE BAY 2012 PLOT SUMMARY MOVIE
In fact, the only movie he’s done that might qualify as horror would be Sphere, which ALSO stars Dustin Hoffman! Those two dudes must be some serious bros to work together so much.
This dude fucking loves Dustin Hoffman! Something you might notice about those titles is that none of them would be anything close to falling into the “horror” genre. Barry Levinson has directed things like Rain Man, Diner, and Wag the Dog. You know me, I love jokes! I’d like to clarify that Barry Levinson is NOT Barry Sonnenfeld, the guy who directed those Men in Black movies. Hahaha, okay guys, I was just joking around. FINALLY! BARRY LEVINSON MADE A FOUND FOOTAGE MONSTER MOVIE! It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for.
