Due to be released November 2, 2012, "The Bay," directed by Barry Levinson, who also directed "Rain Man," is sure to make your skin crawl (literally), as a ecological disaster in Chesapeake Bay kills thousands in a most gruesome way. It goes to show you what can happen when you mix chicken-poop, radiation, and water.

Here's the synopsis:

The quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water; it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds, and eventually their bodies. A brutal and harrowing creature feature for the 21st century, "The Bay" chronicles the descent of a small town into absolute terror.
