Nearly three years have gone by since Chris Stuckmann, a movie critic and author with a channel on YouTube that has over 2 million subscribers, signed a deal with Paper Street Pictures to write and direct the mystery horror film Shelby Oaks. Two years ago, the project became the most-funded horror film project in Kickstarter history, with its crowdfunding campaign pulling in over $1 million. Filming took place in the Cleveland, Ohio area back in 2022, and while we still don’t know when we’re going to have a chance to see Shelby Oaks, Deadline reports that genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan has just board the project, which is making its way through post-production, as an executive producer.
Flanagan’s previous credits include Absentia, Oculus, Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and...

After breaking records and raising over $1 million on Kickstarter, YouTube critic Chris Stuckmann is making his feature directorial debut with horror movie Shelby Oaks, which we haven’t heard any updates on for a bit now. Today brings a pretty exciting one, however.
Deadline reports that horror master Mike Flanagan has come on board the upcoming Shelby Oaks as an executive producer. Flanagan, Trevor Macy and Melinda Nishioka of Intrepid Pictures have joined the team.
Shelby Oaks is currently in post-production, so we expect to hear more soon.
“Intrepid’s films and TV shows have inspired me for years, and it’s a dream come true to work with Mike and Trevor on my first feature,” said Stuckmann. “I’m ecstatic beyond words to partner on the release of Shelby Oaks.”
“For a film that had such a hard time getting going, it’s remarkable the doors that then opened to us,...

The Fangoria Chainsaw Awards 2023 streamed live on Shudder last night – if you missed the show, you can watch it right now! – honoring the best in horror from the past year.
While the Academy Awards may have ignored 2022’s best horror, including The Black Phone, Prey, and Nope, the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards once again served as horror’s own celebration of another incredible year for the genre. And Bloody Disgusting/Cinedigm are thrilled to report that our movies took home Chainsaw Awards in five different categories this year!
Damien Leone’s Terrifier 2 was the biggest winner of the night, winning a whopping four Chainsaw Awards. Horror fans selected Terrifier 2 as the Best Limited Release Movie of 2022, while the film also won for Best Makeup FX and Best Kill.

In 2012, Kier-La Janisse published House of Psychotic Women and forever changed the landscape of film analysis. Subtitled An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis, the book is an exhaustive look at films from all genres, each featuring one or more female characters with some degree of mental instability. House of Psychotic Women is split into two sections: memoir and appendix. Janisse begins by examining significant moments in her own life, confronting generational trauma, a troubled childhood, her teenage years as a juvenile delinquent, and her journey to festival programming through the lens of narrative film. Each stage of her life is paired with at least one movie in which she seeks to understand her own experiences by comparing them with a character facing a similar issue. Janisse’s vulnerable and unflinchingly honest writing invites the reader into her psyche while inspiring a deeper look into our own lives.

Exclusive: The Kickstarter-backed horror film Shelby Oaks by YouTuber Chris Stuckmann has started production and found its key cast.
Camille Sullivan (Hunter Hunter) is stepping into the lead role, and is supported by Brendan Sexton III (Don’t Breathe 2), Michael Beach (If Beale Street Could Talk) Robin Bartlett (Shutter Island) and Keith David (The Thing). Charlie Talbert (The Big Short), Emily Bennett (Alone With You) and newcomer Sarah Durn (Where the Crawdads Sing) round out the cast.
The film centers around Mia’s (Sullivan) frantic search for her sister Riley, (Durn) after Riley ominously disappeared in the last tape of a group of paranormal investigators called the Paranormal Paranoids. As Mia’s obsession grows, she begins to suspect that the imaginary demon from Riley’s childhood may have been real. The project has been inspired by, and accompanied by, a long-lead online marketing campaign around the subject.

Born out of a need to be creative during the pandemic, creative partners Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks decided to make a movie. Alone with You is the resulting project.
Part psychological thriller and part relationship drama, Bennett also stars as Charlie, the film's lead and pretty much only character. Charlie is anxiously preparing for her girlfriend's return but as the day progresses, it also begins to fall apart: she finds herself locked in her apartment, she begins to hear voices, and the conversations with friends and family get progressively stranger as the day wears on. Soon, it's clear that there's far more going on with Charlie and her descent into madness is really unsettling to watch.

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where the new year brings a new movie (to me at least) that I get to discuss with some of the best voices in horror. This month, I’m talking to filmmaking duo Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks, whose debut feature Alone With You comes out February 4th in theaters and February 8th on VOD. And a hell of a debut it is, as their story about a woman trapped in her apartment is filled with dread and is also shockingly dynamic given most of it was shot with just the two of them in one location during quarantine.
Bennett and Brooks have explained that part of what makes their collaborations work is that they bring different sensibilities to their films, with Brooks having grown up on mainstream horror and Bennett being drawn to more independent, arthouse fare. So I was...

Now this is Photoshop done right. The key art for Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks' Alone With You is creepy in all the right ways. Design house The Robot Eye saturates the unsettling visage with a warm, grainy tones, and keeps the visage clear from clutter, squeezing the festival logos, title, tagline, and abridged credit block down in the bottom left. The 'shared eye' is particularly disturbing, and visually magnetic, like an optical illusion, or something 'wrong' glanced by ones peripheral vision. That right there is enough to make a memorable one sheet. Bravo....

The Vigil
The first two acts of Keith Thomas’ film are effective enough, as a young man named Yakov, having recently left Orthodox Jewish community after a traumatic incident, is tasked with keeping vigil over a recently deceased man who he soon finds had been targeted by a dangerous spirit. But it’s in the third act when the film becomes truly special as Thomas merges themes of Jewish demonology, grief, and faith into perhaps the most satisfyingly bittersweet ending of any movie this year. Huge credit is also due to Dave Davis, who as Yakov carries a lot of the heavy lifting both in the turmoil from his past and the terrifying entity that’s got him in its crosshairs. It’s quite haunting and also incorporates interesting themes about finding your path in the world even after living through unimaginable heartbreak.

One of my favorites out of Fantastic Fest 2021 is definitely Alone with You. It’s a simple story, set largely in a single location, where our main character is the target of a somewhat unconventional haunting. Directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks craft a chilling tale that uses shattered imagery to create a downward spiral of dread.
As the film opens, Charlie (Bennett) is preparing to welcome her girlfriend, Simone (Emma Miles). Simone is a photographer who has been away on a job, and Charlie is excitedly preparing a homecoming surprise in their beautiful Brooklyn apartment. She wants everything to be perfect. She has the flowers, the wine, the sexy nightgown—everything. Through some early flashbacks, we get the sense that all has not been well in their relationship, and that this surprise might be a bit of a peace offering as much as a homecoming. But either way, Charlie...

"I'm just sitting back and... letting life do what it does." Gravitas has released the first official trailer for an indie dark comedy called King of Knives, marking the feature directorial debut of cinematographer Jon Delgado. The title is reference to the tarot card (aka "King of Swords"). No relation to Knives Out, this one is about a New York City family the implodes over three days as they careen through mid-life and quarter-life crises.
