Academy Award® winning director Barry Levinson (Rain Man) delivers a brutal and harrowing thriller that chronicles the descent of a small town into absolute terror. 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 eating them from the inside out. From the Producers behind Paranormal Activity comes a creepy and disturbing experience. The Bay uses found footage and an eerily realistic scenario with memorably frightening results.
