Reviews for this film from our members:

  • [New - 3/7] | Marina Antunes @ Quiet Earth
  • Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
    • Excerpt: Found footage horror gets a bit of a bad rap these days, its critics pointing to lesser efforts like The Devil Inside and the Paranormal Activity sequels as proof that it’s a refuge for sloppy filmmakers and lazy thrills. But this stuff is harder than it looks, and The Bay is a good, tight, scary movie.
  • Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
    • Excerpt: THE BAY is a harrowing, nerve-jangling trifle from a once popular director all but written off in recent years.
  • Mike McGranagan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: The Bay works as both horror and environmental activism. This is a fright flick with a purpose.
  • Brent McKnight @ Beyond Hollywood
    • Excerpt: The Bay is doomed from the start
  • Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
    • Excerpt: Leave it to master-filmmaker Barry Levinson (“Diner”) to show just what is possible with the found-footage horror trope. Levinson uses the genre’s intrinsic mixed medium formats to his strength.
  • Henry Stewart @ The L Magazine
    • Excerpt: A killer fish movie classy enough to play the New York Film Festival
