It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This Synopsis

It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This is a found-footage horror film directed by and starring real-life couple Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf. Even more so than most found-footage films, It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This blurs the line between reality and fiction by incorporating real archival and documentary footage shot by the couple. After Rachel and her best friend Christian perform a, incredibly lengthy, seance in the acting, strange events begin happening in and around the Haunted Duplex.

My Thoughts on It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This

Apart from obvious comparisons to films such as The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, the blurring of reality and fiction in It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This is comparable to 2017’s Fake Blood. As described by Nick Toti in his documentary-style narration, the events depicted in It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This isn’t particuarly that scary and features many nausea-inducing elements, such as shaky camera-work, strobe lighting, an incredibly loud sound mix, and a scene of on-screen vomiting. That said, It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This can get unnerving at times, particuarly the anticipation during the lenghty mid-film seance, and the final moments of the film are truly desturbing.
