Shelby Oaks Trailer Drops Ahead of October Premiere

The official trailer for Shelby Oaks, Chris Stuckmann's feature directorial debut, has been released ahead of its October 3 theatrical premiere with NEON. The film follows Mia (Camille Sullivan) as she investigates the 12-year-old disappearance of her sister Riley (Sarah Durn), a paranormal investigator, and uncovers a supernatural mystery linked to their past. Shelby Oaks blends traditional narrative with found footage, drawing inspiration from Lake Mungo, The Blair Witch Project, and The Ring. The project became the most crowd-funded horror film in Kickstarter history, raising over $1 million. Additional funding allowed for reshoots to enhance gore and horror elements, aligning the film with genre standards. Executive produced by Mike Flanagan, the cast includes Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, and Keith David, while Stuckmann's personal journey and lo-fi style are central to its grassroots appeal.
