It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This

  • + Q&A WITH RACHEL KEMPF AND NICK TOTI

Fri 17 Nov 12:45

Following a decades-long fascination with the horror genre, a married couple (Rachel Kempf and Nick Toti) buys an abandoned duplex to use as a location for filming their low-budget scary movie. They soon notice that random strangers are drawn to the old building, standing outside and staring at it in a sort of trance. Delighted to find themselves embroiled in a real-life scary story, the two team up with an old friend in the hope of discovering why this building holds such a strange power.

It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This is a remarkable found footage film, drawing on genuine archive home video footage to convincing effect. The film, in a nutshell, might be a fable about being careful what you wish for, taking us from domestic excitement to a sheer terror.
