Chris Stuckmann

If you're one of Chris Stuckmann's 2 million + YouTube subscribers , you've known about his debut feature, the horror film Shelby Oaks , for years -- long before the movie was bought and distrubuted by NEON, maybe even before he started the record-breaking Kickstarter campaign that funded the film. But you might not know all that much about the world Chris grew up in -- and left behind, in part because of his deep love of cinema. It's a world rarely depicted in film: the world of the Jehovah's Witnesss. And that's the setting of the movie he chose for this episode: 2022's You Can Live Forever , a queer, teen romance out of Canada. Then Jordan has one quick thing about another horror film, this time one that just screened at Sundance: Undertone . Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Welcome to Let's Talk Horror , the special miniseries from Let's Talk Media exploring the dark and scary side of media, including monsters, myths, and metaphors. For Part 6, we dive into the feature film debut of long-time YouTube critic Chris Stuckmann: Shelby Oaks . This film is Executive Produced by Mike Flanagan; Story by Samantha Elizabeth and Chris Stuckmann; Written by Chris Stuckmann; Produced by Aaron B. Koontz, Cameron Burns, Ashleigh Snead, and Chris Stuckmann This film centers on a 12-year-old cold case stemming from the early days of internet fame on YouTube. The amateur ghost hunting crew, the Paranormal Paranoids , vanished after documenting their final investigation in the mysterious abandoned town of Shelby Oaks, Ohio. One of them, Riley Brennan , disappeared without a trace. Riley's older sister, Mia Brennan (Camille Sullivan), has spent 12 years obsessed with finding Riley, and a fresh lead sends her on a dramatic path to uncover the truth. Discover why Shelby Oaks , while technically impressive, is a flawed yet important first effort for Chris Stuckmann - best suited for a casual viewing on services like Shutter. Regardless, it's a poignant milestone and reminder to support independent filmmakers.

BEYOND FEST PREMIERE OUT OF THE THEATRE REVIEW!! Shelby Oaks Movie Review - Veteran YouTube movie critic Chris Stuckmann makes his feature directorial debut with a psychological found-footage horror epic!! Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: ⁠https://www.acorns.com/rejects⁠ Shelby Oaks marks YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann’s bold leap from film critic to feature director. Shelby Oaks (2024) is a supernatural horror mystery built around the disappearance of a paranormal investigation team and the dark secrets hidden in the abandoned town that bears their name. The film follows Mia (Camille Sullivan – Hunter Hunter, The Man in the High Castle), haunted by the disappearance of her sister Riley (Sarah Durn – Interview with the Vampire), as she searches for answers years later, retracing Riley’s last known steps with the Paranormal Paranoids team. Along the way, cryptic found-footage tapes, chilling revelations, and supernatural forces threaten to tear the boundary between life and death. The ensemble cast also includes Brendan Sexton III (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Maniac) as Robert, Mia’s husband; Michael Beach (ER, Waiting to Exhale) as Detective Burke; Keith David (They Live, The Thing) as Morton Jacobson; along with Robin Bartlett (Inside Llewyn Davis, Shutter Island), Charlie Talbert (American Pie, The Faculty), and others in supporting roles. Some of the most talked-about moments include the reveal of the second “lost tape” that was never found by police, the atmosphere-rich found footage sequences that echo Blair Witch and Sinister vibes, and the film’s twisty third act that leans heavily into supernatural horror tropes.
