The Bay Ratings & Reviews

Heavy handed environmental preaching from Levinson but it's still a great found footage creature feature.

Great movie, only if you like footage style horror. Some of the acting was kind of cheesy.

Decent at best

This disgustingly suspenseful yarn got under my skin, and I kept shivering long after I left the theatre.

Brian Tallerico
Levinson's understanding of character elevates what could have been an absolute disaster but can't save the film from its genre failures and lack of tension.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Although there are some scary moments here, and a lot of gruesome ones, this isn't a horror film so much as a faux eco-documentary.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
You don't need to be a germaphobe to feel shivers down your spine.
ScreenCrush
Jordan Hoffman
'The Bay' goes that little extra step from being just another gross-out horror pic.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
[Levinson] demonstrates he can make a shakycam found-footage horror movie every bit as fake-looking, clumsy and unscary as your average college student working on a $200 budget.
Washington Post
Sean O'Connell
A ripped-from-the-headlines psychological chiller that burrows under the skin with its terrifyingly local twist.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Like a "Blair Witch Project" for thinking adults, one that's scary in two distinct ways.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The story becomes more ridiculous as it escalates, the film's over-determined ecological focus undermining any real horror movie tension.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"The Bay" is better than a shallow exercise, but crabby horror fans may have preferred that Levinson took a real plunge.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's schlock with honor, schlock with a conscience, schlock that speaks to the way we live now.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
There is a lot of nasty stuff to look at, but very little that is genuinely haunting, jolting or terrifying.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
For Halloween-week fare you could do a lot worse, but "The Bay" fades quickly - like blood in the water.
NPR
Jeannette Catsoulis
A straightforward whatdunnit and a passionate slap in the face for a spineless EPA.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie might have a point (hey, Environmental Protection Agency, do something!), but it has no dramatic structure or sense of suspense.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
One hell of a creepy little eco-horror pic.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
You have to distance yourself from the spot-on simulation of kitsch in order admire it, and that process precludes engagement with it as drama.
