A two-bit hustler salesman loses his job and then his wife. With no home and no prospects, he ends up taking a job selling a hard-to-sell house.

Hard to sell because it's haunted.

He moves in and begins hustling (showing) the property to would-be buyers.

"For Sale" is as amusing as it is spooky. There's some seriously good acting, especially from Andrew Roth who plays the sardonic main character, Mason, a grifting hustler turned realtor whose desperation leads him to this creepy predicament.

For a low budget haunted house story, For Sale is satisfying, almost entirely because of Andrew Roth's delivery.

The Presence has been aptly compared to "The Others," starring Nicole Kidman.

It also evokes "A Ghost Story," starring Casey Affleck.

All three tell the story - at least in part -from the ghost's point of view, which is naturally dreamy, monotony filled and confused. You feel sympathy for these beings (which, after all, are just transmogrified versions of us) who are detached from normal time and place yet project a vague longing for that lost time and place.

I thought the movie was beautiful and mysterious. It also had moments of real suspense and dread.

Acting and cinematography on point.
