Trivia
Director Barry Levinson was approached to do a documentary about the Chesapeake bay. He watched another documentey about the Chesapeake bay that talked about the pollution and the lack of fish. He said it was a great documentary but nobody will care about it. And so he said he would take all of the facts about the Chesapeake bay and turn it into a theatrical base piece.

Goofs

Incredibly underrated found footage horror

I'm not sure how this is rated only in the 5's, but this is definitely one of the better found footage films, one of the only few that actually make you forget it's a movie rather than a documentary. If you're into this style of horror, definitely recommend.
