Hailed by critics as “nightmarish and terrifying,” the intensely anticipated horror film Shelby Oaks is preparing to terrorize audiences at home this holiday season.
Altitude has confirmed that the chiller will be available to purchase on DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital in time for Christmas, allowing fans to finally experience one of the most talked-about genre debuts of the year.
In our review, we called it “a film with tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.” We also said that “This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.” That’s a lot of praise.
A Search for Truth and the Supernatural
Shelby Oaks marks the stunning feature debut from writer-director Chris Stuckmann, a film that boldly announces the arrival of a compelling new voice in horror cinema. The narrative is a uniquely immersive and terrifying journey that skillfully defies genre conventions, blending family mystery with supernatural dread.
The plot centers on a woman whose desperate search for her long-lost sister spirals into an all-consuming obsession. Her dedication becomes inextricably linked to a dark realization: the “imaginary” demon that haunted the sisters’ childhood may be real. This suggests that the sisters’ disappearance is part of a much larger, darker reality.
The film features a fantastic cast, including Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and veteran actor Michael Beach. Talented actress Sarah Durn, who sat down for a must-see interview with us, plays the role of the missing sister.
From Fan Funding to Festival Acclaim
The journey of Shelby Oaks is almost as remarkable as the film itself. The film secured its budget through a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. It became one of the top-funded horror projects on the platform and attracted over 4,500 dedicated backers. This massive outpouring of community enthusiasm quickly caught the attention of industry heavyweights, most notably acclaimed horror filmmaker and executive producer Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass).
This unique history underscores the film’s authenticity: Shelby Oaks is truly a horror film made by fans, for horror fans.
