CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

loomis78-815-989034 After a boring prologue setting up the story, a group of 4 researchers armed with cameras enter a haunted New Orleans mansion in search of ghosts. After many scenes of them walking around saying how cold spots are and pulling stupid pranks on each other, a few creepy moments are introduced. They find what looks like a baby at first that they found in a hole only to find it is a doll. A chair in the attic provides a jump scare and there are dashes of atmosphere. One of the first "Blair Witch Project" rip offs to come along, the film comes off too hokey to be taken for real at any point of its running time. Director Ted Nicolaou delivers a few chills and creeps in the final 10 minutes that are intense but the characters aren't believable enough to make the entire picture worth seeing.

harfordamanda I think people when they first saw it actually believed this was real and then became VERY ticked off that it was a fake. I'm not gonna lie, i believed it until I saw Madison on some dating show on TLC but I still put this movie in my favorites pile plus most of my friends refuse to watch it b/c it scared them so much. The story is very simple: a group of people get together and spend the night in a haunted house and document what they find. The history to the haunting in parts is real and then others are doctored up a little or taken from other stories but that isn't the part I think that turns people off about this movie, I really believe it's the evidence and the topic of ghosts in general. It's a 50/50 split between pure skepticism and absolutely belief which makes the investigation and the outcome so unrealistic. Towards the end it becomes a block of pure cheese. from Paul finding the arm in the attic to Madison being attacked and how can you forget Ryan being sucked through the floor. As for the rest of the film it's funny at times ( "it's for science!") and scary (the chair in the attic kicked so much butt "go sit in that chair, let it know who's the dominate being." ) and gives the audience i think exactly what they asked for.

Payback1016 Contrary to what you guys believe St. Francisville Expiriment is good. When I watched this movie (it was on space back to back with thirteen ghost) I nearly pi**ed my pants and i'll tell you why. It begins like any other paranormal investigation show you've seen with the interviews from the team members, the host, the use of equipment (real EMF and inferred Thermometers and the locals in St. Francisville (yes the town is real) then it cuts to the actual investigation of the house. they go in there and things are screwing up already. The Chandleer falling off is a quick sign that the spirits are p***ed and you should leave ass soon as the you flicked the light switch. But know you guys had to keep going. Next thing you know you have chairs flying at you, *(which BTW the camera man played back on his camera and cheering that he got great footage) bugs in your food, and a Ouija with some ghost named Charles. Now rather than getting the hell out of there, they decide to split up and perform an exorcism that goes wrong resulting in the one guy being dragged out the door and the one girl being sucked into the floor. the other two play the heroes as they find they're friends in the basement and run off dropping their cameras, one of them showing an orange orb appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye. Now contrary to popular belief this is no where close to a Blair witch knock off, although one of the guys actually joked about Blair witch. The people made it out OK while the three from Blair witch obviously didn't. and of course this movies about ghost investigations not urban legends. also it could be obvious that she didn't know there was a roach in her food while the guy that held the camera probably didn't warn her about it because he thought it was funny, if you actually watched the movie, earlier he popped out and scared the others moments before the Chandler fell.not to mention the other guy with the splinters of on his arms it's quite easy to break the attic floor with his arm because the house itself is at least over 200 years old the wood in the house was obviously worn out and as for the s****y acting? How is it scripted if there are no screenwriters? its hard to talk normally if you are in a haunted house especially one that almost killed you as soon as you entered. and about that whole Blair witch knock off film theory, it is out of the question, because every single documentary style film ever made, revolving around ghosts or the supernatural; before or after Blair witch, real or fiction, independent or funded by major companies have been disregarded as Blair witch movies.

todbrowning2000 I went into this with absolutely no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. ST FRANCISVILLE drew me in in spite of some bad acting and annoying characters. I was just shy of hitting the STOP button several times, but I decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did. Sure, it's a rip off (but what movie isn't these days?). At least they boldly acknowledge this when one of the characters asks, "Did you see BLAIR WITCH?" Yes, we did. And so did you, apparently.If you're a fan of any of the myriad of paranormal shows like GHOST HUNTERS or SCARIEST PLACES ON EARTH, this movie might give you a thrill and a chill. I jumped a few times and found myself muttering, "Please don't open that door..." several times out loud.A lot of folks seem to hate this flick, but I say give it a go!
