The Andy Baker Tape

To be honest, i am a big fan of FOUND FOOTAGE movies, therefore i might not be the most objective reviewer. In any case, TABT is an average FF movie at worst. I have watched many worse movies of this genre. This is good.

I liked it a lot. It tries to be different. Story is kinda original and these two actors did a good job. They were convincing, for sure viewer empathize with these characters.

Unpredictability is rare in this genre. Viewer always knows what the ending would be. I wish for this to change, i mean, it's dumb to keep writing the same ending. Whereas TABT doesn't do something different, still there are some nice twists and turns. 70 minutes running time helps a lot for this to be interesting and not boring. Good pacing, nice escalation. Still, many things should change about FF movies. The same patterns over and over are getting tiresome.

In conclusion, TABT is a good psychological drama thriller movie.

Not much happening here, not much new.

Jeff reviews restaurants on his YouTube channel, has an offer coming from the Food Network, and video records everything he does. He somehow ends up in a DNA database that says he has a half brother, Andy, that Jeff never knew about. Jeff meets Andy, who at first seems like a harmless weirdo but who becomes more dangerous the longer they hang around together.

Much of the story seems like filler--they hang around together so they go places and do stuff that make no difference to the story's outcome. They spend surprisingly little time critiquing restaurants' food. The ending is rather predictable and inevitable-you know what's going to happen, the question is how. This is a reasonable first effort by two new filmmakers, but it's ultimately pretty routine.

The Andy Baker Tape is a film much like a travel channel food show mixed with elements of "Creep".

Jeff Blake has taken a dna test and finds out he has a lost brother (Jeff Baker) from an affair his father had. They spend the day together and film Jeff's pilot test episode for his travel channel shows.

This movies did a great job on replicating a food show because it made me very hungry multiple times how they would highlight the food they ate. The breakfast sandwich look absolutely delicious!

The Andy Baker Tape was effective in being entertaining and engaging. It was a fairly short film so never really has any slow or dull moments.

At barely over 1 hour, this actually told a good story, and had me guessing about the characters the entire way. If you've seen "Creep" and like it, you'll like this as well.

This one surprised with its sweet and sour palette, providing a concept about a food blogger that travels with his half-brother on a food tour.

The concept is ultimately just the wrap that holds the filling, and the filling here has a texture with how the 2 actors work off each other, with both bringing a unique flavour to the film, keeping me interested and engaged throughout with their lightly seasoned interactions. The found footage aspect of the film works exceptionally well, allowing the story to slow boil before adding a peppering of creepiness. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm excited to see what these filmmakers cook up for their next course.
