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.

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

1/5

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.

3/5

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.

My question then becomes this: Why contrive a gratuitous, traditional, familial emotional core around a film whose natural interests seem clearly divorced from that tradition and those emotions?

We’re living in a time with a higher standard of horror, and Shelby Oaks doesn’t reach it.

While it may be predictable, what Stuckmann delivers is well done, frequently tense and terrifying, and most importantly, it feels personal. He may still have room for improvement, but that's why I'm eager to see his next film. [Full review in Spanish].

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.
