This Fourth of July, Bloody Essentials takes a dip into murky waters with The Bay (2012). Ethan, Jamie, and Nina wade through the found-footage chaos to talk about what worked, what flopped, and why this eco-horror had more bite in theory than execution. Plus, the real-life parasitic nightmares that inspired it—and why The Bay might just be scarier than fireworks gone wrong.
