The Bay
Movie • 2012 • Horror
ReportTwo million fish washed ashore. One thousand blackbirds dropped from the sky. On July 4, 2009 a deadly menace swept through the quaint seaside town of Claridge, Maryland, but the harrowing story of what happened that Independence Day has never been told—until now. The authorities believed they had buried the truth about the tragedy that claimed over 700 human lives. Now, three years later, a reporter has emerged with footage revealing the cover-up and an unimaginable killer: a mysterious parasitic outbreak. Told from the perspective of those who were there and saw what happened, The Bay unfolds over 24 hours through people's iPhones, Androids, 911 calls, webcams, and whatever else could be used to document the nightmare in Claridge. What follows is a nerve-shredding tale of a small town plunged into absolute terror.
This movie contains 37 potentially triggering events.

It’s not really plot relevant or a spoiler. It’s just b-roll of people swimming, riding boats, etc

Not typical abuse, but a child is abandoned by her parents who flee as soon as the outbreak happens.

Kind of? A doctor who’s told by the CDC to abandon his patients instead stays and continually films himself and how the parasite is affecting him. This is after pretty much all the patients have died, though. It’s more of a “captain going down with the ship” kind of vibe

One plot line follows a new family visiting their parents/in-laws. The parents/in-laws die off screen, with the mother leaving a goodbye message. The father of the new family dies on screen quite graphically.

Yes, Alot. Like half of the movie. All emetophobes, avoid this movie at all cost. I made the mistake of watching it and I was anxious and paranoid and couldn't sleep the whole night. I managed to watch the whole thing but covered my eyes and ears for half of it. I was able to understand the plot and it had very good action and thrills the rest of the time so if it didn't have all the throwing up, it would've been a decent movie
