The St. Francisville Experiment
Posted on February 14, 2005 | No Comments"The St.Francisville Experiment" proves again that mockumentary horror was only scary once.

I seriously believe that people who watch a movie like this and defend its originality should have their DNA tested for aberrations. -

The initial half of the film is dull, scattered brained, and useless. The last half, well, that's a different story. -
