But this is really one of the best ‘outbreak’ type movies I’ve seen, and even though I’m usually irritated by ff gimmicks like shaky camerawork and digital breakdowns, here they do actually inspire the feeling of a documentary from a nightmare – you end up being carried along by such a sense of mounting dread, or at least I was. On top of that, it’s fairly icky in a way I wasn’t expecting. Very impressive and something of a surprise. |
The Bay was a unexpected entertaining film for me, going between the events, the journalist documenting everything and using CDC, it is one of those that when you watch in the dark to obsolve the atmosphere can help.
