The Bay
This movie is a found-footage horror film—think Paranormal Activity, but for a natural disaster. People in Maryland beach town are supposed to be having a great Fourth of July, but then an invasive parasite begins to endanger people and local marine life. The parasites are abnormally large thanks to pollution. Despite the widespread danger, the town’s mayor decides not to tell people about the impending danger.
We’ve seen companies and elected officials bury environmental dangers for years. Scientists have long been worried about climate change, but oil and gas companies worked hard to bury this. Those companies have also put a lot of money and effort into locking up the political means for policies that would have actually dealt with the crisis years ago.
