Destroyed Cinema presents It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This (w/Landfill Park, Psuedo 73 & Martina)
April 5th 2025 at Little Fernwood
DESTROYED CINEMA AND MUSIC is back with Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf’s 2023 found-footage horror flick It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This. In rare form, Toti and Kempf have refused contemporary distribution in lieu of spreading their film wide via DIY screenings like our own. A TIFF Midnight Madness selection nearly 20 years in the making; A truly spooky, queer, grassroots found footage film blurring the lines between fact and fiction. Local acts Landfill Park, Pseudo 73, and Martina will be opening up the night with some noise, ambient, and experimental - part harrowing and part joyful.
Music first, followed by film.
April 5th 2025 / Little Fernwood (1921 Fernwood Rd) / Doors at 630 with Music at 7 then Movie at 8:30 / 15$ or PWYC / All Ages
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This (2023) - directed by Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf - 84 mins - USA
Following a decades-long fascination with the horror genre, a married couple 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, but never approach it, merely 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 and put their years of horror expertise, amateur ghost hunting, and paranormal obsession to use in the hope of discovering why this building holds such a strange power over people
