This is not the typical 'found footage' film that it may seem to be. 'The Bay' presents more of a documentary feel, by encompassing footage from multiple viewpoints and times that cultivates in understanding the horrific events that take place in this small bay town. What proceeds is the formation of a new 'creepy-crawly' aquatic formed creature and it's gruesome body count.
The explanation of the new parasite is believable in a real-world sense, and it's because of this that the film gets under your skin. Rather than being a routine scare-fest, it takes it's time to build a sense of foreboding dread and unease. This makes the shocks all the more wince inducing.
