“There’s something wrong with the water!” Superior found-footage eco-horror, stitched together by skilful editing, in which chemical waste leads to an outbreak of parasitic isopods in a Maryland seaside town where (echoes of Jaws) the mayor tries to downplay the gruesome havoc so as not to scare off tourists.
Introduced by Marco Contiero (Greenpeace EU food & farming expert)
