Katie Rife IGN Movies Shelby Oaks is often effective in the moment. But the bigger pictures of narrative and theme are underdeveloped. Rated: 6/10 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Alison Foreman IndieWire Shelby Oaks 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. Rated: B- Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine The edge-of-your-seat thrills, impeccable sound design, thoughtfully crafted cinematography, and powerhouse performances bring to life the tragic tale of Riley Brennan in a feature that is sure to become a must-watch for all horror fans. Rated: 4/5 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse While Shelby Oaks’ narrative shortcomings at times overpower its undeniable successes, Chris Stuckmann’s debut film still packs in enough promising frights to reward...even if subsequent films are destined to eclipse this flawed first feature. Rated: 3/5 Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Ben Robins HeyUGuys Pacy, clever, and most importantly, creepy as all hell; Shelby Oaks both is and isn’t what you’re expecting, announcing Chris Stuckmann as a very promising new voice in horror. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A wickedly realised whirl of true crime, found footage and the supernatural, Shelby Oaks features some scary moments so effective that the viewer will take them home with them. Rated: 4/5 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
