Found footage horror is a hit and miss proposition. That said, Barry Levinson’s “The Bay” looks like it’s going to creep the hell out of audiences. If there’s any doubt about that, two eerie new clips for the sea-based creature flick have floated up to the surface. Check them out down below.
Here’s a synopsis:
The quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water; it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds, and eventually their bodies. A brutal and harrowing creature feature for the 21st century, “The Bay” chronicles the descent of a small town into absolute terror.
“The Bay” is definite change for Levinson, a director most known for heart-warming dramadies like “Good Morning, Vietnam” and “Rain Man”, and dramas like “Bugsy” and “The Natural”.
“The Bay” opens invades theaters November 2, 2012.
