The Selling Audience Reviews

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
maddutchy This movie was a pleasant surprise. It was on Chiller channel but really belongs on a comedy channel. It pokes fun at realtors and exorcists(great portrayal by Barry Bostwick-he must of had a lot of fun with his part) and the whole horror/haunting genre in general. The acting was good and the editing came off very well. The cast is mostly unknowns but they all did a great job. One character mimics a role in Ghost Busters. I laughed at almost every scene. If it comes out on DVD, I will definitely buy it. This one is better than most big productions. It is a tribute to the low budget film field proving there doesn't need to be a lot of money spent to get a real quality product. The ghost special effects are even well done. If you see this one on your TV schedule, be sure to watch it. It will definitely cheer up your day.
shominy-491-652355 This film is absolutely hilarious from beginning to end! Every actor is excellent! The music and editing are perfect! We cannot state this enough: There is not one dull moment because the film moves so quickly and the editing is so cleverly done! We knew nothing about this movie before renting it so we had open minds. We had to stop and rewind several times from laughing and missing dialog! The writing is pure genius. Richard and Dave's characters are not "over the top" or irritating; you like them right away and enjoy every scene they are in. These 2 characters are so funny in their low-key delivery as they are forced to "accept" the haunting of the house while showing it to potential buyers. OMG-Barry Boswick is just too hilarious! He is great in comedy (we loved him as "FDR: Badass" and in "Spy Hard")! We cannot find one fault in this film and it deserves a higher rating than 10!! P.S. Including Vincent Price in the movie was a bonus to all us fans of the all-time greats in horror!
fudanchu Blending comedy with light horror is not often done well. Beetlejuice, Death Becomes Her, and Gremlins come to mind, but don't get your hopes up that this will deliver those sorts of special effects, acting chops, or funny moments. While this film made a good effort it is fairly predictable and solidly aimed to the younger crowd...which is fine except it's likely to scare them more than it amuses. The bottom line: there are simply not enough funny parts. If you think you'll like this, just rent Beetlejuice again...a 1998 movie that is still the best of it's kind even as 2013 approaches. Perhaps it's not fair to compare a b-movie film to older blockbusters, but at the end of day this genre seems to have timeless jokes - so you might as well go with the best ones rather than the most current.
glennsauber The Selling is a great example of the Little Movie That Could. With a small budget, a first-time director, and a cast of mostly unknowns; it COULD have been a disaster. Most films with these conditions end up with bad acting, predictable dialogue, and aren't over soon enough. But The Selling avoids all of these pitfalls and just chugs right along, and ends up being a delightful, entertaining movie with heart (complete with pumping blood) and just enough laughs to keep older kids and adults alike entertained throughout. Written by and starring Gabe Diani, the movie is filled almost equally with suspense and horror as much as it is slapstick humor and dialogue that would make Abbott and Costello proud. First time director Emily Lou keeps the pace going and makes it seem like this under-exposed cast has been working together for years.Told without a swear word, this is a GREAT movie for families, although it may be unsuitable for the wee ones due to the blood & scary scenes as well as a quick drug references.Over all, I gave this movie an 9 out of 10. Not bad at all for some first-time film makers, and I have the feeling its only going to get better from here.
