The 'found footage' subgenre - incepted by The Blair Witch Project (1999) - shows little sign of running out of steam.  The appeal of this approach for genre stories (in particular) resides in their faux-reality, their use of a lo-fi 'I was there-ness' to encourage and accelerate our suspension of disbelief.  Certainly, the whole found footage conceit invigorated  Cloverfield   (2008) - which was otherwise a King Kong knock-off.  With The Bay , Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson is getting in on the act - which appears to do for body-horror what Cloverfield did for city-trashing behemoths... Warning!  This one is going to make you jump...
