If the horror offerings that came out before Halloween didn't live up to your expectations, then take note that The Bay (review) hits VOD and limited theatres staring today, November 2nd, and in honor of the occasion we had a chance to speak with one of the film's stars, Kether Donohue.
In our chat Kether shared her experiences working with the film's iconic director, Barry Levinson; told us how her part in The Bay was a real "dream come true"; talked about the found footage sub-genre as a whole; and lots more. Read on for the highlights!
When did you film The Bay? Am I correct in thinking it was completed some time ago but is only just now finally getting released?
Kether Donohue: Yes! It feels like just yesterday, but I filmed The Bay in September and October of 2010.
How did you first come on board the project?...

With The Bay (review) hitting theatres and VOD this weekend we sat down with director Barry Levinson to talk horror, found footage, Isopods, and more!
"The Bay kind of evolved," says Levinson regarding the genesis of the project. "I was originally asked to do a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay because it is 40% dead. I started collecting the information and the facts, and they were quite frightening. Once everything was in front of me, I didn't think the subject would be best served by doing a documentary. So I thought to myself, 'What if we just told this story in a traditional narrative way?' So from there we brought all of the facts into it, and it just kept getting scarier. This led to the form that the film eventually took. We ended up shooting the film in eighteen days for two million dollars, and that's how it all happened.

Around these parts we're pretty stoked for you cats to see the upcoming flick The Bay (review). Why? Because it's hands down one of the most frightening flicks of the year.
What makes this flick even more scary is that the creatures within the flick, these things called Isopods, are 100% real (check out The Tongue-Eating Isopod website for more). They're out there right now consuming other living creatures. Just take a look at these things...
If that's not the stuff of nightmares, I just don't know what is. That being said, get ready to check out a pair of exclusive images from the film itself. Starring Will Rogers, Stephen Kunken, Kether Donohue, Frank Deal, and Kristen Connolly, The Bay was directed by Barry Levinson. Look for it in theaters and available on VOD November 2, 2012, from Roadside Attractions.

While we have zero idea what is going on with Lionsgate's creature feature The Bay, some concept art from Daniel Colon has made its way online to offer up a possible look at some of the action. Dig it!
The movie, first called Isopod, has no trailer and no movie poster. There is still no exact day that the movie will be released. The film, which cost about $2 million to produce, was directed by Oscar-winning producer Barry Levinson. It is one in a series of horror films that includes Insidious and Paranormal Activity.
Thanks to DC reader Avery for the heads-up.
Synopsis
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.

Well. This is a bit on the strange side given the lack of any fanfare or news. If the following report from The Georgetown Times is to be believed, we may just be seeing Barry Levinson's tale of things gone horribly awry in a small town, The Bay, this October.
According to The Times the ecological horror movie that involved a large cast of people from Georgetown County will be released in October. This is according to the S.C. Film Commission, who heard from the producers of The Bay that the film would be released later this year.
