A Maldição de Shelby Oaks

A hilariocity this is not. This is Chris Stuckmann's first film, and he directs as though he is a veteran filmmaker. Having just viewed "Shelby Oaks" at Fantasia, I can honestly say that it did not disappoint. I am of course biased, being a long term fan of his YouTube channel, but I would argue that it has little to no effect on my 10/10 rating. This is a great film which will I believe will please both fans of Stuckmann and people unaware of who he is. It is no exaggeration to say I love this movie and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a new good horror movie. Can't wait to see what he does next.

Had to make an IMDB acct because I'm shocked at how bad this film is.

I will try to avoid talking about Chris and his recent display of lacking a spine when reviewing movies. So I will only say that my only explanation on why this is so terrible, is due to the fact that he HAD to know that this script was very flawled and decided to lay low on heavy criticism.

So, in this movie we follow a group of Youtubers who get involved in a missing person case in which the victim's sister believes this to be of supernatural causes rather than criminal or accidental.

This youtuber glamour of the movie is the one that worked best for me, however that's not really an amazing achievement considering how easy it is to replicate a Youtuber format, which is why the rest of the movie dreadful atmosphere loses steam by the time the 30 min mark has passed and proceeds to become a bellow average found footage film with a quality that you... might see on youtube...

Maybe if this film was released in youtube as some kind of ARG it would've gained more attention, not to say it would be good, but at least it would hold the suspension of disbelief, and it wouldn't feel like such an amateurish production.

I know Chris Stuckman won't grow a spine to talk about actual movie criticism, so I at least hope he grows a spine to see how awfully generic this was.

A YouTube content creator goes missing in the town of Shelby Oaks. Does her chilling last video clip contain the clues to the mystery of her disappearance?

It's not particularly unique but what it does, it does well.

I would have expected Shelby Oaks to be a blipvert, rapid fire absurdity for the TikTok generation but instead, it's a nicely paced, slow burn horror/thriller with some good touches and ideas.

The film looks very nice and performances are convincing. I saw the International Premier at FrightFest, London and it went down well.

It doesn't quite land the punches of genre movies, such as Sinister or Blair Witch Project but the viewing experience doesn't leave you feeling disappointed.

I don't think Stuckmann's name attached to this movie is going to affect its success one way or the other. The film stands on its own feet and will probably stick around for some years to come.

I really thought this movie would be something different, but instead it follows a generic found footage movie. The budget considering being quite low for a film kinda shows.

The acting was passable but it's the directing and writing that really affects the movie. The plot just gets lost along the way and the pacing suffers.

As a horror movie fan if you're expecting to get scared, then this film will pile on more disappointment. I was hoping that Chris as a horror fan would understand the genre more and stray away from it's usual tropes, but nope his movies falls into typical stereotypes.

I guess being a decent critic doesn't mean you will automatically become a good director and it shows painfully throughout the entire runtime of the film.

Just stay with the review. Bad enough you have empty reviews on the channel, Now the guy is making empty movie. Hopefully this is the first and the last time.

Start with long production, mundane and cliche piling up and up. The director supposed to be a horror movie fan but how he brought this movie is so weak, there is nothing horror about the movie itself.

There is no vision, as far how the the directing goes I can tell that the director is trying hard but has an unbelievably no experience whatsoever. The movie relies heavily on jump scares, generic as it may be. There is nothing different, positive wise.

Looking forward for him to "Review" the movie.
