“Shelby Oaks” is a supernatural horror mystery film produced, written, and directed by former YouTuber turned filmmaker Chris Stuckmann in his feature directorial debut, with Mike Flanagan as an executive producer. It stars Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Robin Bartlett, and Michael Beach. Expanding upon an online found-footage series centered on a paranormal investigation team called the Paranormal Paranoids, which also featured Durn, the film follows a woman (Sullivan) desperate to find her sister (Durn) after she vanishes while exploring the eerie, abandoned town of Shelby Oaks. The film premiered at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival in 2024, where it earned mostly positive reviews, with critics praising Stuckmann’s direction, the film’s haunting atmosphere, and Sullivan’s standout performance. Stuckmann was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience working on the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 24th from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy!
