What a beautiful movie!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

OK all you non believers.Sure,the movie started out very slow, but little, by little it did leave you in suspense. The situation on where their interviewing the local towns people, the young blond lady (the one who had the most info.on the infamous madame).Everything this young lady said is true & is documented.Google it.The poor slaves were actually tortured worse than what she mentioned, & what she said was definitely disturbing enough.It has even been documented that her previous residence is still haunted & has gone through many owners, & has been many owners different type of business's, school, apartments, etc. In each of these business owners were reports of various paranormal type activity,or sightings, especially African American Ghosts.So out of respect to those who lost their lives to these two diabolical monsters,please do some research before judging. It was part true & the other half was entertainment! 😊👻💀

I have liked films by Ted Nicolaou in the past, but this will not rank as one of them.I give this this movie one star - strictly on the fact that they told the real New Orleans story of Madame LaLaurie.Watching the Blair Witch rip-off "The St. Francisville Experiment (2000)" and this movie is just so bad it's laughable. One guy walks around saying "I love the ghosts" to stay positive, a girl is a total basket case the entire time, at one point she exclaims, "Omg a dead bird! and the other girl asks, "How dead is it?" All the actors are terrible, and the screenplay is atrocious. I think the only good thing I can say about this movie is, nope I got nothing.Every thing the characters did in The St Francisville Experiment contradicted everything else they did or said at each moment... they are introduced as serious investigator friends, but it becomes clear in the first scene in the house they don't know each other at all and are complete amateurs, then one says to share all their feelings, so the one girl says a prayer by herself for herself which suddenly everyone is okay with, then they say as long as we stick together we should be able to handle this, so what do they do? They split up to go cleanse the house, all the rooms simultaneously... This movie was like that contradiction poem we heard as little kids, the one that goes... admission is free pay at the door, grab a chair and sit on the floor... this was the absolute contradiction haunting movie.The climax itself had such potential, but just left me feeling upset.Spoilers Ahead ---------------------------------------------- So many clichés and contradictions in this film, from the totally healthy cat that jumps out of an Armoire, a falling chandelier, non-cohesive emotions from scene to scene, saying lets stick together because that's how we'll be successful here, then splitting up, saying lets share all of our emotions so one girl prays by herself? The ending has one room shaking, an arm reaches for one girl, that was dull, another gets dragged, they find the guy who was in the attic, chained in the basement hidden medical room, and Ryan tied to a table? The only ghost you see is a bit of mist that quickly dissipates....Episodes of Ghost Adventures are scarier than this movie.I cannot recommend this movie to anyone.1/10

for all of you non-believers out there i have watched this movie 4 times now and every time i watch it it gets better and better this is a true story because i have been inside the real place now i don't have nothing on camera b/c I'm not the camera person type but yes i really have seen the inside of that place and everything that happened in the movie has happened before if you don't believe me email me and ill show you actual proof my email address is fullbloodedkiller@yahoo.com this is only for the non-believers its crying shame that all you stupid people that see a movie like this just jump to conclusions and say that this movie is stupid and its fake well if you don't believe its real then why don't you grow some balls email me and ill give you the address to the place and you can go check it out for yourself that is if your not too scared!!

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!
