Found Footage Movies Like The Bay

14 hand-picked films

The Bay is Barry Levinson's eco-horror outbreak, told as leaked footage pieced together from phones, webcams, security cameras and a young reporter's coverage of one small coastal town.

If you liked the news-style reconstruction and the feeling of a cover-up, these films give you more outbreaks, secret missions and stories assembled from many recordings.
