Summary: This movie is real
Review: I don't know what is up with these negative people. THis movie is for real and actually happened...Try talking to the people who was actually there or lives there..I have seen them as well. I truly recommend this title for a scary ride...I have not much to say right now, but I can tell you this...its worth buying and seeing...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AN UPROARIOUS COMEDY FOR ALL AGES!
Review: I felt like I was surrounded by a ray of white light during this (I believe it was about 3 hours long) comedy of errors! An obvious parody of amateur Cinema Verite - this trite piece features actors so good at acting bad they make the Three Stooges look like Meryl Streep! Horribe "special effects", hideous dialogue and a haunted mansion that was so immaculate I expected a Joan Collins cameo - made this one of the most memorable genre parodies of all time! I hope the DVD will feature some staged bloopers 'ala' Bugs Life, and maybe some of the "actor's" stand-up work. Truly a subtle comedy gem in the ranks of 'Spinal Tap' and 'Guffman'.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I gave this 3 stars because it is a special film...
Review: I gave this movie 3 stars. This all depends on what you are looking for in a movie. This movie is embarassingly horrible... it is a great laugh... it is a travesty caught on tape. But if you are in the video store looking for the worst movie ever made... THIS IS IT. The St. F Experiment is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! So rent it while expectations are at an all time low and have some fun. Trash does not always need to be taken out...

Summary: Er.... I guess it was ok
Review: I just finished watching this movie and before I began to watch it, I thought it was "real" as it was hyped in the trailer and website. The legend = true, the movie = fake. It was obvious that it was fake withing the first 20 minutes of the film where it was obvious that some of the events were staged, not to mention the horrible and fake reactions of the actors. This movie would've worked so well if the staged events weren't so obvious nor off the wall. It could have even been plausible, with the proper ating that is. Over all, it was entertaining and it was funny so I won't go so far as to call it a horrible film. I guess I was just a little disappointed that it wasn't real : ( But it's ok in my book and I would definately buy the DVD because despite it being fake, the movie does provide some scares... I said some : )

Summary: Review from a local...
Review: I was born and raised in the small town of St. Francisville, LA, so it definitely caught my eye when I spotted this film on the shelf at the video store. Being a local, I've heard all the ghost stories associated with the local plantations... particularly the ones known for being haunted. "The St. Francisville Experiment" obviously used a group of unknown actors...probably unknown because of their acting abilities. However, the story behind the film is accurate...the stories behind some of the local plantations have been scaring the bejeebers out of me for years. It would have been nice, though, if a little bit more money had been put into the film to help the events seem a little more realistic. I do recommend this film, but warn you not to have high expectations. It gets off to a slow start, but things pick up a little as the story unfolds.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What were you looking for?
Review: I've read some of the reviews of this film (good and bad) and I cannot believe the people who wrote the bad reviews actually thought it was supposed to be real. Did you really think the Blair Witch Project was real as well? These are MOVIES!
If you accept BLAIR WITCH and ST. FRANCISVILLE for what their producers intended; Cheaply made, scripted movies pretending to be documentaries, then you'll begin to see the fun in them.
And St. Francisville was a fun film. There were actually some very good (and frightful) moments. The chair flying across the room, for one. The people who are upset that B.W. and ST. Francisville are "obvious fakes" are probably confused as to why The Beatles allowed Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to perform on one of their albums.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Derivative, Dishonest, Boring
Review: If it's fiction, call it fiction. If it's a documentary, call it a documentary. But don't lie. The filmakers of this film ignored these simple truths. It's obvious after the second "scare" that this is nothing more than a pathetic "Blair Witch" rip off. But I can see the film's problem. If the audience doesn't buy the "this-is-for-real" pitch the movie tries to sell, they are left with nothing. And that's exactly what is left, nothing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: by far, a must see
Review: If you like good horror movies, then this is the movie for you. The guys in the movie certainly bring in the comedy and you can't help but laugh at the pyschic. But aside from that, The St. Francisville Experiment definitely keeps you on the edge of your feet and I must admit, I actually did scream on several occasions, and I never do that. Combine what happened while they stayed in the house with the plantation's history and what you have is one heck of a scary movie. I am actually planning on buying it. But this movie is a definite must see!! I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't mean it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It Doesn't Get Any Worse
Review: Imagine the worst porn movie you've ever seen - the acting and plot in this film is ten times worse. And like a bad porn movie, you'll be embarrassed if you watch this film with anyone but yourself.

Not even a fifth of good whiskey will make this film entertaining - you'll just sit there with the dry heaves, praying you can throw up, go to bed, and forget about it. Unfortunately, this movie is like the stomach flu - it'll stay with you for days.

I know, with a review like this, you just have to see it. Trust me, you're wrong. Don't go to the "White Light."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A new genre in horror?
Review: It's a good scary ride with plenty of laughs along the way. The cast is great at making fun of them selves which makes this movie much more enjoyable than Blair, or other copies like MTV's 'Fear' or even reality shows like 'Survivor'. Haveing said that, the idea is not original on any level and the movie obviously wouldn't had been made if Blair didn't make as much money as it did. I saw this movie in Fresno with my sister and we both jumped out of our seats with the rest of the audience several times from fright! The ending leaves me with a few questions but over all I can't wait for the DVD - Lars
