For a while, I lived in Havre de Grace, MD. In that timeframe, I experienced several fourths of July. One of those times, for some reason, my then-girlfriend and I got in a mood to watch horror movies.

We opened Netflix (then our only streaming service) and looked in the horror category, eventually settling on The Bay. We'd never heard of that movie before and selected it pretty much at random.

Turns out that movie is implicitly set in HdG and explicitly on the fourth of July. Kinda freaked us out for a bit.

After that, we looked up movies set in HdG and that's how I found From Within, a mediocre movie featuring Bruce Willis' daughter; and also that's how I found out that House of Cards filmed Kevin Spacey's home town there..

edit: basic grammar.

Well, as someone who adores horror movies of all styles from pure camp to serious, and as someone who feels hella nostalgia for MD, I thank you for putting The Bay on my radar!

My husband is a super cinephile though, so Im super hell be interested in the others (provided he hasnt already seen them).

Hey, my pleasure.

I don't much like horror, but every once in a while I get into a mood to binge a bunch of it. I don't have many recommendations in the genre, but one I genuinely enjoyed was The Awakening. Hope you enjoy!
