Critics Consensus

Shelby Oaks may stumble in its final moments, but its atmospheric tension and emotional core firmly establish it as a chilling debut from director Chris Stuckmann.

Christy Lemire

FilmWeek (LAist)

A very derivative and repetitive horror movie with pieces of better films you've seen before.

Billie Walker

Little White Lies

Despite his commitment to the genre, what Stuckmann seems to have forgotten is that the magic of found footage comes in the moments where you’re forced to ruminate on the grainy shots of a shadowy figure in the background.

Rated: 1/5

Harry Stainer

Empire Magazine

A promising debut that stumbles in its final act, but its pseudo-documentary and found-footage sequences make Shelby Oaks a suitably creepy calling card.

Rated: 3/5

Oscar Goff

Cambridge Day

The resulting film certainly has its moments, but it’s paper-thin and frustratingly unfocused.

Rated: 2.5/4

Shelby Oaks doesn't need to scream to scare; suggestion is enough, balancing the tradition of found footage with the sensitivity of modern psychological horror. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Heaven of Horror

First, it’s found footage, then on to mockumentary before finally becoming a full-blown paranormal horror movie with a demonic plot. Yeah, it’s a lot and could have been too much, but it works. It really works...

Rated: 4/5

Good story, great cinematography, some choices were a little dumb but by the 3rd act the wtf factor turned up to 10! Chris did a great job his first time out. Hopefully he gives us a few more bangers like this.
