My advice to all of you if you feel like you haven’t seen a good scary movie in a while: watch this one, or find a film that targets exactly what you’re afraid of. I don’t know if I’d ever rewatch this film just because I didn’t like the shakiness of the found-footage aspect of the film, but other than that, this one is probably one of the creepiest horror films I’ve seen in a while. So with that, let me throw in my rating of the film: While I’m sure that I’ll get over my fear of tap water, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get over my fear of crazy parasites running rampant around my town, considering I think it’s something that’s plausible…maybe it’s totally irrational. I had a really, really hard time watching it my stomach was in knots (both because of the tension and because of the gross gory scenes that were just all-around disgusting) and I decided I never want to drink unfiltered water again. They watch people they know get torn apart from the inside out, kill themselves to escape their inevitable fate…honestly the film is horrific. These poor people become the only people left around when the parasite begins eating away at everyone in the town.
And last but not least is the doctor who is dealing with the patients that are arriving (waves at a time) into his emergency room.
One is an inexperienced news reporter who has decided to document the July 4th festivities of Chesapeake Bay, another is a teenage girl who is trying to FaceTime with her friend to explain to her that something is going horribly wrong in her hometown. (There are more than these three stories, however these were the three that caught my interest the most). I think it’s pretty reasonable, considering it could happen.Īs the film develops, you begin to follow three different (yet equally important) people. Anything that could contribute to zombies walking the earth, like an illness that would make you want to eat someone’s flesh. If you all want to know my biggest fear, here it is: contagious diseases that have no cure. Halfway through this film, I had my boyfriend nudging me to make sure that I was okay because he could tell that my anxiety level was through the roof. I don’t know, maybe that’s just a weird issue that only I have – I just feel like I know deep down that it’s fake and I’m never able to get into it. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this in past posts, because I have a problem believing that it’s “found footage” because I know I’m watching a film. It’s a found footage film, which is normally not the type of film I enjoy. The Bay (2012) tells the story of a small town in Maryland where a parasitic outbreak compromises the water, and the health of everyone in town. You’re going to help me survive the zombie apocalypse. Of, I’m going to have to hang out with you. If you’re not scared of that, I’m pretty sure you’re a liar. Something that everyone SHOULD be afraid of? Your local government poisoning your water with chicken poop, then you drink it and turn into a boil-covered, creepy mess of blood and guts falling out of you because a parasite invaded your body and ate your organs from the inside out. You know, like spiders, clowns, blood, feet… to each their own! Now, here’s the point of the former sentence: note everyone is scared of these things. There are plenty of things in the world that are absolutely horrifying.
