A woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister, a famous YouTuber who investigated paranormal happenings, falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. After a successful Kickstarter campaign that broke records across the platform, the highly anticipated feature debut feature from YouTube creator Chris Stuckmann is finally here and ready to scare the pants off the world. SHELBY OAKS delivers in all departments. Starring Camille Sullivan (HUNTER HUNTER), Brendan Sexton III (DON’T BREATHE 2), Sarah Durn (RENFIELD), Keith David (THE THING, NOPE), and Michael Beach (AQUAMAN). Produced by Aaron B. Koontz, Cameron Burns, and Ashleigh Snead, and Executive Produced by Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy, among others. World Premiere

With the score from composers The Newton Brothers, SHELBY OAKS was crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1 million. Principal photography took place in Ohio, with reshoots occurring in March 2025 to increase the violence and gore, which doubled the film’s budget

BJ Colangelo of /Film gave the film a 8/10 rating, writing that “with Sullivan’s phenomenal performance and Stuckmann’s keen eye, Shelby Oaks allows us to witness the start of one of the most promising new voices in horror.” Alison Foreman of IndieWire gave the film a B–, saying it “was obviously written by a critic, one with a near-legendary knowledge of the pop culture archives, and it’s directed with a palpable confidence that could lead to better things.”
