One horror movie you should definitely check out this spooky season is Shelby Oaks. The film follows a woman whose desperate search for her missing sister spirals into a dangerous obsession. After the police do nothing, she sets out to find her. However, she must confront a horrifying possibility: that something supernatural may be at work.
The film marks the debut feature from writer/director Chris Stuckmann, who boldly announces his arrival as a compelling new voice in genre cinema. This tension-filled film is executive-produced by acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass).
The film stars a talented cast including Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and Michael Beach. What makes Shelby Oaks stand out is its grassroots origins: it is one of the most-funded horror film projects on Kickstarter, drawing support from over 4,500 dedicated backers.
Sarah Durn stars as Riley, the missing sister. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Durn to discuss this chilling film. Durn, who is an incredibly talented actress, has been featured in other movies like Carry On and Where the Crawdads Sing. Watch as Durn and I make a deep dive into Shelby Oaks, discussing her character, filming, and so much more. Watch the interview below, then head to theaters to see Shelby Oaks!
