Horror fans don’t mind familiarity, but not if it feels like the echo is all there is to listen to.

Shelby Oaks is often effective in the moment. But the bigger pictures of narrative and theme are underdeveloped.

Rated: 6/10

Shelby Oaks may not necessarily do anything new, but it’s still the perfect Halloween movie that’ll have you jumping and cowering in your seat.
