New Shelby Oaks Poster Showcases Critical Acclaim Ahead of Release

A chilling new poster for Shelby Oaks has arrived, showcasing eerie imagery from the film’s attic ritual scene—and the critical praise that’s already calling it one of the scariest movies of the year.

The supernatural horror comes from Chris Stuckmann, the popular YouTube film critic making his highly anticipated feature debut. The story follows a woman whose desperate search for her missing sister drags her into a nightmarish mystery tied to an unseen evil.

Early reactions have drawn comparisons to The Blair Witch Project and Hereditary, thanks to its unnerving realism and use of found footage elements woven into a traditional narrative.

The film stars Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett, Keith David, Derek Mears, and Sarah Durn, delivering performances that heighten the paranoia and dread at the film’s core.

Adding to its legend, Shelby Oaks became the most-funded horror film in Kickstarter history, raising over $1.3 million. The campaign’s massive success caught the attention of horror heavyweight Mike Flanagan, who joined as an executive producer through Intrepid Pictures—the studio behind The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep.
