Great way to bypass the bystander effect: Single out a person (“You!”) Give specific instruction (“Get 911 on the phone”) Give context of what is needed and what the situation is (“We need an ambulance, he’s bleeding out here”) The lack of these cues can leave bystanders confused and in analysis paralysis, which is part of the compounding cause of bystander effect. If you make it personal and real to a person instead of an impersonal scene, if you give them specific instructions, you are more likely to be able to get people to engage and help you.

I made my friends watch this without telling them what it was about. We were living near the beach back then and we used to take dips regularly. After they all watched the movie, we split our time between sitting sadly by the water and suspiciously staring at the water.
11:36 That's true for thermally driven desalination, however, reverse osmosis desalination uses a pump to pressurize water before sending it through a series of membranes. There is a stage called pre-treatment that involves filtering out inorganic and organic debris suspended in the water, which would include microorganisms like the parasite larvae. That said, an important point in the movie is that the small town is not wealthy by any means, which is important to keep in mind when considering the most likely SOPs for preventative maintenance (PM) schedules in the municipal desalination plant. Why does this matter? That's because while the town may be able to fund the basic upkeep of the plant, it most likely schedules PM to be as economically responsible as possible so as to not overburden the town budget. Therefore they most likely use filters and membranes up to and beyond the manufacturer's recommendation as long as post-treatment tests are showing that the water passes the safety parameters measured. The reality though is that the filters deteriorate rapidly over time becoming less effective in preventing microorganisms from passing through. This is only made worse by the development of biofilms in the system, including on the membranes and filters themselves. The removal/prevention of biofilms is another very, VERY expensive and time-consuming type of PM that may be overlooked/delayed until either government regulation mandates it or the water begins to fail to pass the safety parameters that the plant tests post-treatment. In short, the premise of the movie is feasible.
You worded it perfectly. I’ve worked with reverse osmosis units - holy shit the upkeep needed to prevent membrane degradation and biofilms was impossible due to how little people want to actually spend on proper maintenance. A lot of people installing these things do not realise how much they are not just making a one-time purchase, let alone get the proper training to ensure they know how to properly maintain them so that they work properly instead of being a blatant contamination risk. I 100% believe someone like the mayor as portrayed in the film to be one of those people.
I haven't worked with such systems but as someone from an archipelago, we have a separate water system for drinking because the damn costs of desalinating water is too much for small islands, so we often have these small businesses of water purifying services. They filter water and sell them by the gallon, anyway, what I often see is exactly this. When the owners of such purifying/filtering services get stingy on the filters you can deffo taste the salt/sediments. Sometimes it tastes like straight up rust. Only distilled water is the safest, but such things are EXTREMELY expensive.

Hormones aren't given to chickens to make them meatier, they're given to accelerate the growth process. That's also one of the reasons why the factory farms have high death rates. The chickens grow too fast for their muscles to keep up
That's factually incorrect though. As explained in the video, it is prohibited by federal law in the US to give poultry any kind of added growth hormones, since the 1950s
@@ActualCatfish my uncle worked on chicken farms during his high school summers. He can confirm that the factory farms do use growth hormones to make the chickens grow faster
And I'd have to let you in on the fact that your uncle's a liar. I could cite you twenty governmental sources telling you that it is against Federal law to use artificial growth hormones on poultry in the United States, but I can tell that you somehow believe your uncle to be more credible than the entirety of the USDA.
Fun fact: in the Google search scene one of the highest image searches is several versions of art by the artist Bogleech, they paid him $200 to use the footage.

The people who own and make these movies act like its AAA gold and that any footage used is somehow taking away money, even though the uploader doesn't receive jack shit without a sponsor. Pretty stupid since most ppl wouldn't know about this B rated found footage crap without youtubers giving it a deeper look. Its ironic.
25:35 I totally believe that as the infected body fights back against the parasites, the increase in body temperature, and internal bleeding, you can imagine that a individual will be in incredible distress and physical discomfort to feel feeble and act in a manic state. I probably would be terrified to do something rash if I find out tiny parasites are eating me or my friends.
I remember watching The Bay years ago and it always stuck with me. Not only is the "monster" novel and the documentary style presentation well done, but its such a natural "failure of the system" type of horror. All of the authorities acted naturally and in several cases, appropriately, yet everyone paid the price.
I have a personal theory to how it got here. I live on the Chesapeake Bay myself, which has several major military and cargo ports. A major way some small plants and animals can be carried across oceans is actually ship ballasts. Ships will balance themselves by filling huge tanks with water at their starting location, and then dump it out at their ending destination.
This is exactly why we now have a crawdad infestation in the Netherlands; a ballast tank full of pregnant crawdads being emptied in the North Sea years ago. Those things are everywhere now and really aggressive, even attacking ducks and their ducklings and cats and dogs being walked with their pinchers. They might be small, but they're not afraid of anything.
the bistander effect is more that when there are a large number of people present, one would assume "oh, I don't need to do anything, I'm sure someone else here will." but the problem is that everyone is thinking the same thing

Lol what? Heard of the 1993 Milwaukee Cryptosporidiosis outbreak? It's basically this but if this was dysentery. Largest dirrheal and waterborne epidemic in the Western world happened a mere 28 years ago, you would expect 128 years ago.
I’m a Marylander, and have been to the Chesapeake bay a couple times. Fun fact about this movie: it’s 100% found footage from real Maryland vacationers (they thought they could swim in the Chesapeake bay)
I don't remember hearing this in your video, and I don't think anyone has commented on this, but the screenwriter was someone who worked at the Department of Environmental Protection of Maryland. Barry Levinson, the director, was asked to make a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay. Barry thought the BBC already made a great documentary so he decided to make an eco-horror film. Also, and I know I am some random person on the internet, but I am a marine biologist who used to be a federal contractor for NOAA. I can confirm that the fish tongue eating isopod is in the Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico as I have personally seen them in the mouths of red snappers.
I love this movie! Bar some weird post-production choices (the isopod sound effect lmao) and the cheapass and totally unnecessary jumpscare at the end, it's a solid watch if you got the stomach for that sort of stuff! As for the mental state of the police officer, I honestly think it had nothing to do with "being infected", but straight up panic. What he saw in that house, and what he then had to do to these poor people mostly likely made his mind snap and he's in shock. He killed his partner in an act of mercy and now sees everyone as infected (rightfully so). That's how I interpreted that scene at least. Lastly, your chapter titles made le laugh quite a bit. Awesome job on that one, Roanoke
I feel like if I saw these symptoms without context I would immediately think Ebola or something else hemorrhagic. I would run like a bitch right out of that town.
The mayor in this movie is pretty much a minor deity of buck passing. Especially if he's *illegally* giving his chickens steroids, the decision to blame the EPA for not regulating him better is just...damn. He's technically correct, since the FDA are the ones who don't like that, but still. Damn.
To be fair, the FDA is pretty bad about enforcing the F part of their name. They only really care about cracking down on anyone who wants to challenge big pharmaceutical companies and make it so you can actually afford basic medication
I imagine that there might have been atleast 2 infection sources and 3 diseases arriving "at once". First we have a more traditional infection that "only" causes boils and similar immune reactions, this may escalate with a much more deadly meningitis that also causes the kind of delirium that we saw. These two related infections are then mostly separate from the actual parasite that in this scenario didn't have to infect everyone for this chaos to emerge. This could explain the shorter quarantine. Many escapees had the traditional infection that rarely killed if you didn't get meningitis, which required you to be infected in mouth, nose, or ears (or if parasites broke apart blood vessels). The parasites themselves were much more dangerous but also fewer and easier to spot.
so would a situation like this basically be "leave it alone until the need for cannibalism hits and they destroy themselves" or would their exponential reproduction cause some kind of accelerated evolution and we'd be dealing with flying brain eating crustaceans........ which would come first
If they don't start to die soon enough, just throw some small bombs and set the wholr place ablaze. I don't think they're fireproof anyways, and you'd probably need to torn down a bunch of stuff to make sure there are no isopods left; so just burn and rebuild everything anyways, that way you can be sure there are none left on land.
Omfg I love this movie, I don’t care what the reviews say I will watch this 500 times in a row before I EVER turn on one of the “critically acclaimed” piles of shit we have today
If the desalination plant uses reverse osmosis and the filters were damaged or faulty then the larvae could perhaps make it into the waterpipe network.
Holy crap I’ve seen this movie! My dad was watching it when I was a kid and the seen where the lady laying down jumps up and attacks the cops. I actually thought that was real and had nightmares months after that

0:27 eh, as a person from Maryland, something like this happens every year. Currently we can’t even have oysters because of a boring flesh eating pathogen
Quick Chicken Facts; I worked for a chicken feed manufacturer / chicken farm company and got trained on the facts, basically back in the day they used to use antibiotics on chickens to help with growth, for some reason chickens grow larger with antibiotics. In the last 20 years this has stopped and now in the US it's illegal to have antibiotics or growth hormones or steroids in the feed or chickens. What you CAN do is put vitamins in the feed which does help with growth and keeps them healthy without "worrisome additives". They could have easily made this movie real science and made it better. Tongue Isopods don't eat your tongue, they snip off fish blood supply to it, and take place of the tongue so the animal can keep living as it lays more eggs for more to develop in the body. I thought that is where this was going because if a tongue is missing then maybe they didn't notice it wasn't their real tongue and it left. Which they could have said they adapted to humans and the larva eat the inside of the humans enough to kill them. Idk why radiation would have anything to do with it. While radiation can cause mutations in creatures it's only that creature, and then only passed down if it's in the Germline and only if that can still breed. So it's VERY unlikely a "beneficial" mutation would happen anywhere near that fast. Also the fact that nuclear power and water is always MUCH cleaner than the water going in, as it is filtered and cleaned and tested constantly. Nuclear plants have much less radiation contamination then most other power plants, like coal or oil. So it's just a stupid trope.
That is true but TH-cam doesn't really control that part of the system very well because of how costly it is. So it is just cheaper to validate the claim and move on than having to deal with the slow review. Remember, TH-cam gets thousands of videos uploaded every few minutes with big companies claiming 1/5th of those videos. TH-cam is responsible and not the person uploading the video since it is their platform. It sucks, but I agree they need to find a better system than this endless void.
Good grief these people need to chill. Like, I'm super mad. Either way, I'm still glad you covered this movie, even if it is rather a mess for copyright and watching it.
All of this reminds me of a documentary I saw once years ago. It was about an SAS team that got stranded and had to walk their way back through enemy lines. Apparently they carry these things that are supposed to help make water drinkable? I think it was something that kills bacteria or some such. It wasn't chlorine I don't think, and I'm pretty sure the idea was just to make it safe enough so that you can take a gulp, not chug a bottle of it.
Love this movie, seriously i really enjoyed it immensley. I have watched it about 3 times total, planning on watching it again over the weekend. It has many truly horrifying and creepy scenes, body Horror is one of my Favourite genres.
The Bay is my favorite movie that makes me paranoid. I was like uber hesitant to drink water from anywhere, thinking I’d get infected how these people did and die a gruesome ass death. I live in Georgia lmao
Native Marylander here! Anyone with any sense around here does not swim in the Chesapeake Bay, especially up north. Aberdeen testing grounds (military explosion stuff) is on the coast and has absolutely polluted the water. They also won't say what exactly is in the water, because that means they'd have to clean it up, and that would cost millions, if not billions of dollars. So we really don't know what's in the bay, just that it's probably not good for you. But hey, at least we're not New Jersey :)
And here is also why tap water requirements are so F-ing insanely high in this country. XD I mean we're talking "if you pee a mile away from the drinkable water reservoir you're getting arrested and pay huge fine" kind of high.

I made my friends watch this without telling them what it was about. We were living near the beach back then and we used to take dips regularly. After they all watched the movie, we split our time between sitting sadly by the water and suspiciously staring at the water.

11:36 That's true for thermally driven desalination, however, reverse osmosis desalination uses a pump to pressurize water before sending it through a series of membranes. There is a stage called pre-treatment that involves filtering out inorganic and organic debris suspended in the water, which would include microorganisms like the parasite larvae. That said, an important point in the movie is that the small town is not wealthy by any means, which is important to keep in mind when considering the most likely SOPs for preventative maintenance (PM) schedules in the municipal desalination plant. Why does this matter? That's because while the town may be able to fund the basic upkeep of the plant, it most likely schedules PM to be as economically responsible as possible so as to not overburden the town budget. Therefore they most likely use filters and membranes up to and beyond the manufacturer's recommendation as long as post-treatment tests are showing that the water passes the safety parameters measured. The reality though is that the filters deteriorate rapidly over time becoming less effective in preventing microorganisms from passing through. This is only made worse by the development of biofilms in the system, including on the membranes and filters themselves. The removal/prevention of biofilms is another very, VERY expensive and time-consuming type of PM that may be overlooked/delayed until either government regulation mandates it or the water begins to fail to pass the safety parameters that the plant tests post-treatment. In short, the premise of the movie is feasible.
After all it was a key plotpoint that the town's government was corrupted to hell and back, so them letting the water system expire is implied.
You worded it perfectly. I’ve worked with reverse osmosis units - holy shit the upkeep needed to prevent membrane degradation and biofilms was impossible due to how little people want to actually spend on proper maintenance. A lot of people installing these things do not realise how much they are not just making a one-time purchase, let alone get the proper training to ensure they know how to properly maintain them so that they work properly instead of being a blatant contamination risk. I 100% believe someone like the mayor as portrayed in the film to be one of those people.
@@samb5963 this is what governor Hogan is actually like.
I haven't worked with such systems but as someone from an archipelago, we have a separate water system for drinking because the damn costs of desalinating water is too much for small islands, so we often have these small businesses of water purifying services. They filter water and sell them by the gallon, anyway, what I often see is exactly this.
When the owners of such purifying/filtering services get stingy on the filters you can deffo taste the salt/sediments. Sometimes it tastes like straight up rust. Only distilled water is the safest, but such things are EXTREMELY expensive.
That's what made this one such a horrifying creature feature. The feasibility.
Every time I see the mayor with the cup of water... I immediately think
“You got that from a bottle when no one was looking”

Hormones aren't given to chickens to make them meatier, they're given to accelerate the growth process. That's also one of the reasons why the factory farms have high death rates. The chickens grow too fast for their muscles to keep up
Are you sure it isn't cause they butcher chickens?

I totally believe that as the infected body fights back against the parasites, the increase in body temperature, and internal bleeding, you can imagine that a individual will be in incredible distress and physical discomfort to feel feeble and act in a manic state. I probably would be terrified to do something rash if I find out tiny parasites are eating me or my friends.
Let's. Watch. It. AGAAAAAIIIIIN!
*Grabs the popcorn... INTENSELY*
heck yeah watching again!
This movie shook me to my core. The body gore was so real that this was moved up to my first pick for any true die hard horror fan.
I love how you said Fighting, Feeding and FU- Mating.
No matter how many times I watch it, it makes me laugh
Reminds me of that one textbook that talks about the "part of the brain used for the four F's, fighting, feeding, fleeing and mating"
I remember watching The Bay years ago and it always stuck with me. Not only is the "monster" novel and the documentary style presentation well done, but its such a natural "failure of the system" type of horror. All of the authorities acted naturally and in several cases, appropriately, yet everyone paid the price.
Lol this movie got the CDC portrayed accurately.
I have a personal theory to how it got here. I live on the Chesapeake Bay myself, which has several major military and cargo ports. A major way some small plants and animals can be carried across oceans is actually ship ballasts. Ships will balance themselves by filling huge tanks with water at their starting location, and then dump it out at their ending destination.
That's... going to make me worry about how many other ways something could be spread.
@@DarkRubberDucky byproduct of globalization. Really should be monitored more, many cons. Not saying I'm fully against it but it brings MANY issues.
i was hoping someone else said this. ballasts have created far more invasive species than canals have.
This is exactly why we now have a crawdad infestation in the Netherlands; a ballast tank full of pregnant crawdads being emptied in the North Sea years ago.
Those things are everywhere now and really aggressive, even attacking ducks and their ducklings and cats and dogs being walked with their pinchers.
They might be small, but they're not afraid of anything.
the bistander effect is more that when there are a large number of people present, one would assume "oh, I don't need to do anything, I'm sure someone else here will." but the problem is that everyone is thinking the same thing

I don't remember hearing this in your video, and I don't think anyone has commented on this, but the screenwriter was someone who worked at the Department of Environmental Protection of Maryland. Barry Levinson, the director, was asked to make a documentary about the Chesapeake Bay. Barry thought the BBC already made a great documentary so he decided to make an eco-horror film.
Also, and I know I am some random person on the internet, but I am a marine biologist who used to be a federal contractor for NOAA. I can confirm that the fish tongue eating isopod is in the Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico as I have personally seen them in the mouths of red snappers.
TH-cam is fine with the full unedited Hardcore Henry movie but they're just like, "nah let's bully roanoke"
I love this movie!
Bar some weird post-production choices (the isopod sound effect lmao) and the cheapass and totally unnecessary jumpscare at the end, it's a solid watch if you got the stomach for that sort of stuff!
As for the mental state of the police officer, I honestly think it had nothing to do with "being infected", but straight up panic. What he saw in that house, and what he then had to do to these poor people mostly likely made his mind snap and he's in shock. He killed his partner in an act of mercy and now sees everyone as infected (rightfully so). That's how I interpreted that scene at least.
Lastly, your chapter titles made le laugh quite a bit. Awesome job on that one, Roanoke

Besides evaporation, you can use reverse-osmosis filtration to desalinate saltwater.. although larvae won't make it through that process either

That is good because the last two he looses his funds of the hard work he put and the place that claimed it gets the funds instead.
The mayor in this movie is pretty much a minor deity of buck passing. Especially if he's *illegally* giving his chickens steroids, the decision to blame the EPA for not regulating him better is just...damn.
He's technically correct, since the FDA are the ones who don't like that, but still. Damn.
To be fair, the FDA is pretty bad about enforcing the F part of their name. They only really care about cracking down on anyone who wants to challenge big pharmaceutical companies and make it so you can actually afford basic medication
Ah shit, here we go again. How many times do we have to teach you this lesson TH-cam?
yeah you're kinda hypocritical when it comes to full movies with shitty editing
I imagine that there might have been atleast 2 infection sources and 3 diseases arriving "at once". First we have a more traditional infection that "only" causes boils and similar immune reactions, this may escalate with a much more deadly meningitis that also causes the kind of delirium that we saw. These two related infections are then mostly separate from the actual parasite that in this scenario didn't have to infect everyone for this chaos to emerge. This could explain the shorter quarantine. Many escapees had the traditional infection that rarely killed if you didn't get meningitis, which required you to be infected in mouth, nose, or ears (or if parasites broke apart blood vessels). The parasites themselves were much more dangerous but also fewer and easier to spot.
so would a situation like this basically be "leave it alone until the need for cannibalism hits and they destroy themselves" or would their exponential reproduction cause some kind of accelerated evolution and we'd be dealing with flying brain eating crustaceans........ which would come first
Cannabalism every time, the extreme removal of predators of the creature and loss of access to food means they start eating anything, even each other
If they don't start to die soon enough, just throw some small bombs and set the wholr place ablaze. I don't think they're fireproof anyways, and you'd probably need to torn down a bunch of stuff to make sure there are no isopods left; so just burn and rebuild everything anyways, that way you can be sure there are none left on land.
"This can be solved with a water boil order and telling people to stay out of the water."

If the desalination plant uses reverse osmosis and the filters were damaged or faulty then the larvae could perhaps make it into the waterpipe network.

Quick Chicken Facts; I worked for a chicken feed manufacturer / chicken farm company and got trained on the facts, basically back in the day they used to use antibiotics on chickens to help with growth, for some reason chickens grow larger with antibiotics. In the last 20 years this has stopped and now in the US it's illegal to have antibiotics or growth hormones or steroids in the feed or chickens.
What you CAN do is put vitamins in the feed which does help with growth and keeps them healthy without "worrisome additives".
They could have easily made this movie real science and made it better.
Tongue Isopods don't eat your tongue, they snip off fish blood supply to it, and take place of the tongue so the animal can keep living as it lays more eggs for more to develop in the body.
I thought that is where this was going because if a tongue is missing then maybe they didn't notice it wasn't their real tongue and it left.
Which they could have said they adapted to humans and the larva eat the inside of the humans enough to kill them.
Idk why radiation would have anything to do with it. While radiation can cause mutations in creatures it's only that creature, and then only passed down if it's in the Germline and only if that can still breed. So it's VERY unlikely a "beneficial" mutation would happen anywhere near that fast.
Also the fact that nuclear power and water is always MUCH cleaner than the water going in, as it is filtered and cleaned and tested constantly. Nuclear plants have much less radiation contamination then most other power plants, like coal or oil. So it's just a stupid trope.

Remember, TH-cam gets thousands of videos uploaded every few minutes with big companies claiming 1/5th of those videos. TH-cam is responsible and not the person uploading the video since it is their platform. It sucks, but I agree they need to find a better system than this endless void.

All of this reminds me of a documentary I saw once years ago. It was about an SAS team that got stranded and had to walk their way back through enemy lines. Apparently they carry these things that are supposed to help make water drinkable? I think it was something that kills bacteria or some such. It wasn't chlorine I don't think, and I'm pretty sure the idea was just to make it safe enough so that you can take a gulp, not chug a bottle of it.

Aberdeen testing grounds (military explosion stuff) is on the coast and has absolutely polluted the water.
