Review of The Bay (2012) by Charles R — 16 Feb 2014
Surprised. I have never heard of this film before I happened upon in on Netflix. This is not your typical teen slasher B.S. movie. This is far scarier in the sense that it both tugs on your heart strings AND resonates with you for days.
It makes you question everything around you. There is an ACTUAL story, and it was brilliantly composed. It is raw. This movie hits you. This is in the realm of ACTUAL possible scenarios. No zombies. None of that tired crap.
This really scared me, because it looks like something you can see on CNN. I cannot explain the way this film resonates. It's not supernatural, It's not an unbelievable story. This film does present itself as a flick, but it brushes the edge of realism so closely, I'm almost positive, that if this was released under the heading "documentary", way more people would be fooled than "The Blair Witch Project" can shake a stick at.
It is absolutely unique, and if you are looking for a something that may haunt your thought pattern, Enjoy. I highly recommended this both online and to my friends. I think it is a MUST SEE. Some won't LOVE it the way I do (I've watched it twice), but even if you think it is "Iffy", it will definitely expand your reflection on the genre.
. Possibly make you seek more films with the same styling. 5/5. LOVED IT.
