The Selling is a 2011 horror-comedy movie that revolves around the life of a struggling real estate agent, Richard Scarry (Gabriel Diani), who decides to sell a haunted house. The movie is written and directed by Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine. The story begins with Richard Scarry, a desperate real estate agent, who is trying to sell a house that has a dark past. The house is haunted by the ghost of its previous owner, who was murdered by his wife. Richard sees this as an opportunity to make some quick cash and agrees to sell the house. However, he soon realizes that no one wants to buy a haunted house.

To make matters worse, Richard's girlfriend, Mary Best (Janet Varney), is threatening to leave him if he doesn't sell the house soon. Richard is convinced that he can make a sale, and he decides to invite a group of potential buyers to spend the night in the house. He is hoping that they will experience some paranormal activity and become convinced that the house is genuinely haunted.

Things start to go awry when the buyers arrive, and strange things begin to happen. They soon realize that the house is indeed haunted, and they are being terrorized by the ghost of the previous owner. The buyers decide to leave, and Richard is left to deal with the angry ghost on his own.

In his attempts to get rid of the ghost, Richard seeks the help of various experts, including a priest and a paranormal investigator, but all their attempts go in vain. Richard is running out of time as Mary is about to leave him, and he realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.

The Selling is a perfect example of a horror-comedy movie, where the filmmakers have taken the horror genre and twisted it into something that is funny, entertaining, and at times, downright spooky. The movie is well-written, and the characters are well-developed, with Gabriel Diani delivering a standout performance as Richard Scarry.

Janet Varney is also excellent as Mary, portraying her as a strong-willed woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. The supporting cast also delivers great performances, with Jonathan Klein as the nervous and jumpy paranormal investigator, and Nancy Lenehan as the simple but supportive neighbor.

The cinematography in The Selling is top-notch, with the lighting and camera work adding to the overall spooky atmosphere of the haunted house. The movie has a great score, and the sound design is also excellent, with the creepy sounds adding to the sense of terror.

The Selling is a movie that will leave the viewers thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. The film strikes a balance between humor and horror, making it a fun and enjoyable ride. It is a must-watch for horror-comedy fans and those who enjoy a good scare. If you are looking for a well-written, well-acted, and well-directed movie, The Selling is definitely worth checking out.
