The St. Francisville Experiment

I thought this move was truly horrid. It was a blatant Blair Witch xerox, trying to ride the coattails of an already poor movie. Please do not waste your hard earned money renting or buying this movie. Cheech & Chong movies have better taste.

I watched this movie last night, it was horrible. They took what could have been a scary situation, and made it stupid. The women were much more annoying than the guys, because they were all stereotypes of people. Madison kept talking about the "white light" that surrounded them, but no one ever asked what she was talking about, they just let her go with it. And after a few "purifications" that obviously didn't work they decide on the classic cliche of splitting up, and trying them seperated from each other?!?!?. The scares were all jumpy scares "oh no something jumped out in front of me", nothing with actual fright value. There are also scenes where doors open for people....and they go in them! And spaces open in the floor, or they find a hole and they STICK THEIR HANDS IN THEM WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE!! Yeah right... Also the fact that people lived in the house, and yet these people didn't get rid of the "bloody medical equipment" in the basement, or seal up a hole in the wall, make it seem more staged. And finally they are standing in the house for five minutes before they try turning on a light, when I, a normal person, go into a house that's the first thing I do.

As the only person who has watched this in 14 years (thank you pandemic) I recommend steering clear. This movie was horrific, some of the least like able characters I've ever seen, and that's 50% of a found footage film.

I do not understand where this budget went as there were no special effects and terrible makeup. The acting was AWEFUL, they actually laughed during the movie as a testament to how bad the plot was.

Very cringe filled movie.

I think the people behind this "true" documentary film saw both The Blair Witch Project and the Fox Family Channel Special of "The Scariest Places on Earth" in the same day. Sorry guys, but this was not as entertaining as 3 people being stalked in the woods, or a family locked inside of an English castle for the night. My thoughts:

• Madison is more annoying than Heather ever was.

• Somebody just needed to tell Ryan to shut up.

• If Paul stood on the stairs one second longer contemplating aboug going back into the attic...I would've thrown a chair at him.

• You should've rehearsed the "spontaneity" of the ending more

• The house looked as if the family living there had gone out to grab take-out and would be back any second.

On the upside though, Tim is a real cutie.

Next time out, leave the 3 students alone, and let Linda Blair handle the "family locked inside a haunted house for the night" concept, and come up with an idea that is actually yours.

My grade: D-

This movie sucked so hard that initially words just escape me. It was despicable, deplorable, atrocious, un-called for, and absolutely without a shadow of a doubt terrible. The acting was so overdone and cheesy. I feel that renting this movie and investing time in it until the end, took a part of my life and soul that I will never be able to get back. Honestly I would have rather watched grass grow in slow motion. Furthermore, I feel that this movie was a blind attempt to recreate the Blair Witch Project which I must say now seems awesome compared to St. Francisville. I advise everyone to stay as far away as possible from this movie to avoid tragic disappointment.
