60 of 249 · most liked firstChris Stuckmann’s horror movie ‘SHELBY OAKS’ will release on October 3 in theaters. NEON has doubled the film’s budget to add more gore & violence as well as film some reshoots inside the real prison/museum from ‘THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION’ (Source: www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Chris Stuckmann says NEON gave him extra time and money to film scenes for ‘SHELBY OAKS’ that he originally didn’t have the funds for. “I was in tears man, because I got to go back and do a couple of things that I always wanted to be in this movie. It was a dream come true.”
neutral · AI labelView post →SHELBY OAKS. The first great horror film to come from someone who grew up on 2000s horror and has reinterpreted it for the 2020s. A great, scary, nightmare fuel filled terror treat. I saw grown ass horror filmmakers jump in this one. One of my very favorites of the fest.
positive · AI labelView post →This isn't talking about Shelby Oaks, which at least clearly delineates between its "documentary" section and its "glossy horror movie" majority
neutral · AI labelView post →YouTuber Chris Stuckmann establishes himself as an exciting new voice in horror with his unique directorial debut ‘SHELBY OAKS’. Find out more in our review... discussingfilm.net/2025/10/23/s...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you see one movie this weekend (and haven't seen it yet) consider BLACK PHONE 2. If you're game for two movies this weekend (or have seen BP2) DEFINITELY check out my buddy Chris Stuckmann's film, SHELBY OAKS. Scary as hell and fucking rips. Made Jess jump out of her seat (which she doesn't do).
positive · AI labelView post →Chris Stuckmann tells us there was an early vision of his horror film ‘SHELBY OAKS’ that was all found footage & would’ve been uploaded straight to YouTube. Instead, he shot the film in different formats including scenes where actors wouldn’t be aware where the camera was.
neutral · AI labelView post →Chris Stuckmann says the found footage segments of ‘SHELBY OAKS’ were all shot before the film was even announced “That was just me and those four actors out in the woods during COVID, distancing ourselves, wearing masks, and shooting with old equipment.”
neutral · AI labelView post →I would absolutely attach Chris Stuckmann to direct another horror movie based on the potential I saw in SHELBY OAKS.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just got back from seeing Shelby Oaks, the horror film by Youtube film critic Chris Stuckmann. I've been watching his reviews for what seems like forever, so I was keen to see him try a movie of his own. Overall, I'd say he succeeded. It's a really solid first effort, and competently made.
positive · AI labelView post →Noticed Chris Stuckmann's horror film Shelby Oaks now has a UK release date on October 3rd.
neutral · AI labelView post →#lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky Shelby Oaks: "What a mess..." Buffet Infinity: "By the hour mark, I'd had enough." Moloch: "Nerve-wracking and quietly terrifying." Frightmare: "Creepy and disturbing."
negative · AI labelView post →Watched Shelby Oaks and was a bit disappointed. It suffered badly from lack of focus. Throwing every ARG element possible into the film is just distracting. Pick one thing and build up to it. You don't need a ghost show, a documentary, a haunted amusement park, an evil prison and a cult. Too much.
negative · AI labelView post →What’s left in SHELBY OAKS is death and rot. Explore its dark and deeply haunted history in the final trailer.

neutral · AI labelView post →Shelby Oaks: Camille Sullivan goes searching for her sister, a YouTuber who went missing, in Chris Stuckmann's horror film. Straightforward premise, with Stuckmmann particularly good at atmosphere and mixing mockumentary and narrative, but the writing is underdeveloped, and has implausibilities.

neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t watched that much of Chris Stuckmann as of late, but I am very curious about checking out Shelby Oaks since the dude has been trying for years to make his dream a reality of making a movie On top of Mike Flanagan & Neon involved, there’s a shot it can be a very interesting experience

It's billed as Blair Witch meets Hereditary plus Barbarian, sounds like good genre fare. Mike Flanagan exec-produces. 4/5 film-authority.com/2025/10/26/s...

neutral · AI labelView post →That Shelby Oaks movie is such horrendous dogshit. People are tiptoeing around saying it like a Make-A-Wish kid made it and not a youtuber. You get the chance to make a movie and you justIsle one long Spencer's horror t-shirt isle.

neutral · AI labelView post →Holy shit..... Chris Stuckmann's first feature film is honestly everything I've hoped for. It's confident, it's sincerely creepy and unsettling, and most importantly.... it feels professional. Chris' future as a writer/director looks pretty bright. Loved SHELBY OAKS.

negative · AI labelView post →People are treating it like he made Manos: The Hands of Fate.... or as if Shelby Oaks is on the same level as AVGN: The Movie, Not Cool(Internet Famous), or that fuckin Critical Drinker movie ROGUE ELEMENTS. The worst you can say about Shelby Oaks is "been there, done that"... it's still well made.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shelby Oaks is a very bad movie #ShelbyOaks director Chris Stuckmann is a popular YouTube film critic who should stick to his day job. 1 star out of 5 A review by @redroomrantings.bsky.social.
negative · AI labelView post →I'm not a huge fan of Chris Stuckmann, but a lot of reviews I've seen of Shelby Oaks just seem to be attacking him as a person. Feels under the guise "he made a movie so I can talk shit now!" You're reviewing the film, not the director.
neutral · AI labelView post →Excellent review from Siddhant as always. I probably lean a bit higher on the film, but where we agree is the potential Stuckmann has going forward. Check out Shelby Oaks if it's playing in your area & take a few minutes to read Siddhant's review. One of our best working writers today.
