If you’re a fan of horror with a fresh twist, It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This is the found-footage fright fest you need to catch at TIFF 2024. Indie filmmakers Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf take us on a wild, creepy ride through a haunted house investigation that blurs the line between real life and nightmare. Here’s why you won’t want to miss it.
What’s It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This About?
Nick and Rachel, a real-life couple and horror enthusiasts, just bought a creepy, rundown duplex in rural Missouri. The place is falling apart, covered in satanic graffiti, and filled with objects that scream “bad vibes.” Most people would run for the hills, but Nick and Rachel are thrilled. As filmmakers, they see it as the perfect setting to film their next project—documenting the haunting and performing a séance to call forth the spirits.
Things start off strange but manageable. That is until mysterious strangers start gathering on their front lawn, the house’s eerie energy intensifies, and the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur. The film uses actual footage from Nick and Rachel’s lives, making it feel disturbingly real as the horrors unfold.
