This isn't to say there aren't good aspects however. You could run a checklist of found footage tropes and this would probably hit every item. The acting ranges from bad to just passable across the board, we're treated to several obvious jump scares with added sound effect to enhance (which is a huge pet peeve for me in a found footage film, as such sound obviously should not exist within the footage), and the film pads its slightly shorter than average running times with repetitive sequences of spliced together informational footage.
This is likely because, while it isn't a terrible film, it does display a number of the trappings of a bad found footage movie.
This origin point is interesting and does make the film a bit more approachable to a broad audience, but The Bay still failed to find any meaningful success. So he spiced the events up some and brought forth a mockumentary instead, featuring many of those facts alongside a horrific, fictional event. After watching a documentary on the topic for research, he became intrigued by the pollution and lack of fish in the bay, but believed that in documentary format, no one was going to care. The Bay was the product of director Barry Levinson being tagged to do a documentary on the Chesapeake Bay. | Rules & Info | Review Database | Series Reviews & Collections | This will help others know what types of movies you like when they are reading your reviews!
