Movies like The Bay

28 Days Later is a gripping British-American post-apocalyptic film that explores the fallout after a contagious virus decimates the UK. The intense focus on survival among infected chaos makes it an absorbing companion for fans of the thriller elements in The Bay.

Contagion offers a chillingly realistic portrayal of a global pandemic, capturing the profound effects of a lethal virus on society. Like The Bay, its strength lies in the credible depiction of a public health crisis, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate the visceral tension in pandemic-related narratives.

Cloverfield takes viewers through a monster-ravaged New York City, with a found-footage style that ramps up the intensity of the chaotic events. Fans of The Bay will enjoy the first-person perspective that immerses you in the heart of catastrophic occurrences.

The Happening thrills with a story of a bizarre and sudden natural catastrophe causing mass suicides across the northeastern United States. As in The Bay, the film takes viewers on a harrowing quest for survival amidst an incomprehensible environmental crisis.

District 9, although a sci-fi take on the found-footage style, parallels The Bay in how it deals with segregation and the consequences of a viral outbreak. The movie's blend of social commentary and intense action will resonate with those who enjoyed the ecological and societal threads in The Bay.

Paranormal Activity is a pioneer in the found-footage genre, focusing on a couple haunted by a supernatural presence in their home. If you were glued to the screen during The Bay's documentary-style tension, this movie's technique of capturing the unseen will hold your attention just as firmly.

The Crazies depicts the terrifying unraveling of a small town's inhabitants turning violently insane due to a mysterious toxin. Just like The Bay, it strikes a nerve with its portrayal of an American community in the grips of a horrific and inexplicable event.
