quietearth [Celluloid 06.27.12] scifi horror thriller



The Bay was formerly entitled Isopod which is a species of crustacean, one of which is a parasite that replaces the tongue of its host after consuming it. News about the retitling dropped via Production weekly which called it a zombie eco-thriller but not much info is available besides the fact that it's low budget and the synopsis below.

The Bay is directed by Barry Levinson whose behind a billion films like Rain Man, Wag the Dog, and Sleepers, and is co-produced by Jason Blum who produced Paranormal Activity.


The quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water; it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds and eventually their bodies. A brutal and harrowing creature feature for the 21st century, THE BAY chronicles the descent of a small town into absolute terror.
