pre-2020 i used to think these kinds of movies vastly overstated the us government's incompetence but now i'm just like ah what accuracy!

Don't people ever get tired of being spoon fed the same dreck over and over again!?! "The Bay" is yet another attempt to preach environmentalism. Its got all you'd expect from a propaganda film. Crooked politicians, inept public servants, uncaring, greedy corporations...my god, does it get anymore run-of the-mill?!? If you want to make a point or call your audience to take action, could you come up with something just slightly unique? Anything...anything that hasn't been done thousands of times before? The heavy-handed message here is clumsily couched in what is the latest and most tiring trend in Horror movies. Yes, it's another found footage film. And from a relatively respected director in Barry Levinson, no less. There was nothing scary here at all. The best you'll get is a few jump scares (which are not scary at all, just cheap) and a few gross-out moments. I would have appreciated the slightest bit of characterization, but it's not found here. All I really did was scoff at the predictability of it. It should come as no surprise that the 'Top Critics' have awarded this turd a 76% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In reading many of their critiques, phrases like "though-provoking" and "should appeal to genre fans and eco-activists" are used. Really?!? For this rehashed piece of junk? Thankfully, it appears that the 'Audience' has not fallen for it. They rate "The Bay" at only 44%.

Scary? No. Boring? Yes, yes and yes

This was horrendous and all over the place, it's like from the start they had no idea what they wanted the movie to be so it ends up being nothing but a badly stitched together non-linear collage of events that make this slightly over an hour long movie feel three times as long, with absolutely no suspense nor buildup and nothing rewarding at the end. A completely pointless film and a waste of time, there was nothing i could think of that was good, perhaps the concept was somewhat original but it ended up being squandered by filmschool student tier directing, acting and editing

this one was really awesome. dont know why the negative ratings. of course i know everyone has a different taste, but whats bad here? for me its one of the best found footage horror movies. its pretty well made, interesting to watch, its completly creepy all the way, has some gore and sometimes scary. definitely disgusting. i liked it a lot.
