The Selling

When you're in the mood for a corny, campy humorous horror flick this is it! Lots of laughs, really enjoyed it.:)

Watched movie not knowing what to expect except for a real estate sale. Because of its quirkiness including characters, I found myself gradually laughing more than being scared. After a couple laughs, it got habitual even climaxing. I would rate this movie as the standard for a comedy horror to beat. Note I define it as a comedy first. It is Diani's masterpiece. In hindsight, just the thought of 2 guys trying to flip a haunted house says it all.

I loved this little gem of a horcom and can't recommend it highly enough! I put this movie on half expecting to trash it partway through but found myself laughing harder than I have in a long time, watching till the last frame to ensure I had caught every bit of comedy tucked inside the credits. Give it a watch if you don't take your horror too seriously and you like a little silly slapstick goofiness. I really hope to see more from the writer, director, producers and actors!

Whenever I watch a movie where a family buys a haunted house I always wonder what an ordeal the real estate agent went through behind the scenes. Words can not express how happy I was to find a movie about exactly that, and that it's actually good. It would have been so easy for this to be an unfunny mess with a good premise, but there's a good amount of heart mixed in with some fun jokes.

Side note: Evie Barret from Stan Against Evil was in this and I was going nuts the whole movie trying to remember what I knew her from.

Funniest movie I've seen in a long time, cleverly spearing a lot of horror movie conventions while keeping a fairly even balance between scariness and laugh-out-loud humor. I've always wanted to see a ghost movie where the protagonist doesn't just shrink in terror or go into some kind of slow-motion coma. This is it! There's a lot packed in here with plenty of throwaway jokes and surprises. Barry Bostwick's cameo as Father Jimmy the exorcist is priceless and tells us that the creative team really knew its film history. The end credit scenes (watch to the very end) are magnificent non sequiturs. Well done. (The credits say 2012 but information says 2021 release. I wonder why the gap.)
