10 Best Blumhouse Horror Movies You've Probably Never Seen

What do you get when you mix Cabin Fever, Slither and Cloverfield all into one? The Bay that's what.

Taking place in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay over the Fourth of July holiday, The Bay is a found footage film that tells the tale of disaster. While it may be classified as found footage, it almost feels more like a compilation of footage as opposed to the traditional found footage film.

Things start off slow and escalate quickly. As the film starts to play out, it looks like the town is suffering from some sort of viral outbreak from the water. Something that nowadays has much more of an impact than it did when this film came out in 2012 thanks to the pandemic. It adds a sense of realism to the film and the found footage aspect of the filming only makes it that more harrowing.

Then as things progress we learn of what is really going on, and that yes, something is in the water. At times it really feels like you have a first row seat to this towns demise. It's not filled with the best acting in the world, with some wooden performances that drag a couple scenes down, but overall the film finds a sense of dread and an incredibly errie atmopshere and latches on tightly.

It's nerve-racking, and because of what the world as a whole has gone through recently, it feels like it could be all too real at some times and that, is horrifying.
