Verdict on Healing Andy
Recap
The movie follows a group of friends going on a boy’s getaway to help one recover from a breakup. However, things spiral out of control leaving them needing to try to solve the problem, but they face a much darker story.
Best Parts
The movie uses the found footage concept well to show us problems the boys get themselves into. They have a natural chemistry to make you believe they would clash over different things and the chaos they find themselves in adds elements of humour. One of the big things is the motivation to be filming, its not hunting for scary things, it is having a natural vlog for fun.
Worst Parts
This leans into elements of fear you might not expect, and it takes a while to get to the full scare factors without any bigger teases or stories.
Final Thoughts – Healing Andy has a creepy chaos behind the events.
