The Bay (2012)

Anyone happen to catch this? It's On Demand this month, and I watched it.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1713476/

It's sort of a 70's eco-thriller, done in a found footage style. It's about an entire town getting really, really sick, and many people dying, because of a combination of environmental problems. The main thing that killed people seemed to be a mutated parasite that gew much larger than normal, and did yucky things to people. Anyway, I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something missing, something lacking. Maybe a love story or some kind of subplot would have fleshed it out a little... not sure.

But, there's one scene in it that I think bears mention. Two cops who don't really realize what is going on in the town go to a house to investigate some kind of complaint, and they go inside, and they just get completely overwhelmed by what is happening. We don't see what they see. The camera is outside the house, in their police cruiser. But we hear them and the people they are trying to help, inside the house, and it's just a really effective scene. It's one of those times when not seeing it makes your mind fill in the blanks, and that makes it even scarier than it would have been if they just showed what happened. It's a really nightmarish scene.

Anyway, it got a 5.6 on IMDB, so that's fairly decent. I think I would roughly agree with that rating, overall. Well, check it out if you get a chance.
