So we have some concept art here for The Bay which started off as an indie science fiction flick known as Isopod. It’s been created by Barry Levinson (He directed a few films you may have seen in the non-horror genre such as Good Morning, Vietnam and Rainman.)
His level of talent is quite amazing so I’m curious to see what he’s put together in this “zombie eco-thriller” that he’s created. On top of that it’s being co-produced by Jason Blum who was the producer on Paranormal Activity.
It’s a low budget film but SOUNDS intriguing.
The Bay centres on the aftermath of a viral outbreak on the Eastern Seaboard. The story is told via a series of recordings on camera phones, 911 calls and other scraps of video as the town of Claridge, Maryland, is engulfed by chaos.
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.
