Featured review
"The Andy Baker Tape" (2021) is a movie very similar to Creep (2014): you have the main character, who holds the camera, on his way to meet someone he doesn't really know, only to find out this person might be more than what they appear.
The acting is good enough. The main character plays the food reviewer type really well, I enjoyed his way of explaining food textures and whatnot. Same with the secondary character: on the surface, he totally felt like a person I could meet in real life.
The writing is where the movie has a few struggles. The script does a good job in making us care for the caracters within the limited duration of the movie (70 minutes). Now, it only does that because it kinda "cheats" with its found footage concept: you know those movies where the main character has the camera on while more important stuff is going on (stuff that would make any normal person forget about filming)? This is one of those movies. There's a lot of exposition going on while the camera is filming everything, and in some of those moments you ask yourself: "why is this guy filming it? Oh yeah, because it's a movie and the script needs to let me know what's going on" - and there goes the suspension of disbelief, so important to the found footage genre.
These shortcomings won't make "The Andy Baker Tape" (2021) a bad movie. It's an okay flick. You will definitely feel entertained, if you look past some things. If you've watched the amazingly well done "Creep" (2014) before this, the shortcomings will stick out a bit more, but even so, the characters make this one worthwhile. I've seen worse movies with longer durations, so 70 minutes is not a lot to spend even if you don't like this one.
