It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

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.

As a horror film The St. Francisville Experiment is effective. There are well executed scares, eerie environments, surprisingly strong camera work for a found footage venture, and a paranoia inducing aura that will continue even after the film has finished. But this effectiveness is largely watered down by a handful of bad decisions. There's poor continuity of mood from scene to scene, there seem to be continuity errors in lighting and room layout, all the characters have one or two frustratingly annoying ticks, and the pace is very muddled. 35% of this film is honestly scary claustrophobic moments in a darkened haunted house, and the other 65% is off-putting, meandering dialogue that neither adds to the characters nor to the horrors. For the horror fanatic, that 35% is effective enough to warrant a viewing, for the less than fanatic, it's just not worth it.

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.

WOW!!! What a movie! I was blown away with the reality of this A1 classic horror story. The people that were in this movie were without a doubt some of the most talented Julliard trained thespians that this cat has ever had the pleasure of watching. Madison in particular was stunning , she was able to really make me feel like I was in that house with them....her constant screaming about cold spots , white lights , heaviness etc etc...I couldn't get enough of the hyperventilating breathing either.All in all a roller coaster ride of horror and fabulous storyline accented with great acting chops from all involved.Buy this video if you come across it!!!
