Directors Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf have decided not to release their horror film "It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This" for home viewing. Instead, it will only be shown in theaters, creating a buzz and sold-out screenings across the U.S. The film, shot in Kirksville, Missouri, features a couple experiencing strange events after a séance. The unique release strategy has drawn attention, winning awards at various film festivals and leading to a nationwide screening event at Alamo Drafthouses. Despite some criticism, particularly aimed at Kempf's performance, the film's profile continues to grow. Toti and Kempf plan to screen the film as long as there is interest, while also working on new projects.
