What we see from security cameras, police dashcams and personal videos, as well as documentary footage from French marine researchers, is alarming. She’s gathered footage from a variety of outlets to show viewers the horrific parasites that ravaged the unsuspecting residents. Recording this and more is local junior reporter, Donna Thompson ( Kether Donahue, “Pitch Perfect”) who lived to tell the devastating story of what transpired in this peaceful town. Witnesses appear utterly confused and we start to see more footage of ill people popping up in various locations around town. It starts with a video of a woman limping down a busy main street, vomiting blood and screaming amid the festivities. The scary thing is, no one can see this threat. The larvae maneuver through sanitation and seek to plant themselves in living organisms, eating their way out. They are isopods (think aggressive silverfish spliced with caffeinated cockroaches), created by nearby waters polluted by chicken manure, leaving a visible trail of hideously gutted fish as they naturally make their way to human targets. The local community, led by its proud Mayor Stockman ( Frank Deal, “The Bourne Legacy”), are all set to partake in picnic food, parade gazing and swimming in the eastern coast – unaware of the microscopic menace floating their way. The peaceful seaside town of Chesapeake Bay town of Claridge, Maryland is approaching the 2009 Fourth of July holiday weekend with traditional patriotic fanfare. The latter is happening in “The Bay”, directed by Oscar-winner Barry Levison (“Rain Man” and “Wag the Dog”), in a horror film that utilizes the trendy found footage approach in a mostly plausible and genuinely frightening way. Not the enormous invading ants from 1957’s “Them!” or those wretched giant bugs from 1997’s “Starship Troopers”, but the tiny microscopic critters that burrow into our bodies and either control us or see our bodies as a biological buffet.
That is, films of the creepy-crawly variety, usually a plot centered on humans encountering some form of relentless alien or insect determined to overtake or devour them. Recently, I was asked what kinds of movies scare me the most and while I came up with an answer, I completely overlooked one horror subgenre that still gives me the heebie jeebies. release date: Novem(in select theaters and on VOD, Zune, XBOX, Amazon instant & iTunes Rating: R (for disturbing violent content, bloody images and language) Produced by: Jason Blum and Steven Schneider
