Review of The Bay (2012) by Nathan M — 01 Nov 2014

A horror film that gets too distracted with its eco message and its faux documentary format that it can't overcome. There are some good scares here, but nothing that will make you jump out of your seat. The bugs were pretty freaky, and the infections made you cringe. However, the cast is so terrible that they made you cringe as well.

For the first half of the film, you're slightly intrigued, but you keep getting distracted by the poor documentary techniques. By the third act, the film has fallen so deep into its eco-friendly message that you stop being scared, instead you're just annoyed.
