Another day, another Fantasia Fest review -- this time we're talking the horror film Shelby Oaks from YouTube critic turned filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, which begins as a found-footage film and... doesn't stay that way for long. It's a movie with a thousand surprises and twists and turns up its sleeves and I mostly dug it! You can read my thoughts over at Mashable -- I tried to keep them as spoiler-free as possible but that proved impossible, so maybe wait to see the movie before reading the review. (And that won't be an issue because Neon, the house behind Longlegs, has already picked the film up for release.) The general gist of my opinion is that's it's clearly a first film in that Stuckmann has a LOT of ideas and he tries to put them all into one movie, to its detriment at times, but I look forward to seeing where he goes next very much. There's a lot of promise here. And I would love to geek out over his influences with him some time.
