Film Critic and YouTuber Chris Stuckmann helms this new project that carries on the tradition of pseudo-documentary/found-footage fictional horror films like The Blair Witch Project and Lake Mungo!
Premised on the burning question “Who took Riley Brennan..?”, Shelby Oaks begins with what is alleged to be the last surviving film footage of a ghost-hunting YouTube celebrity who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks. The footage demonstrates that, whatever the ultimate cause of Brennan’s disappearance, her final moments were ones of trauma and fear. From there, the film evolves into a true-crime-style documentary that follows the efforts of Brennan’s sister who has been searching for her missing sibling for the past decade. Finally, the film switches gears yet again by introducing a narrative cinematic approach that exposes the true horror that Riley encountered and is sure to scare the bejeezus out of you!
