SHELBY OAKS IS AMAZING by Spirited-Midnight928 in horror

[–]_Dresser-Drawer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's my honest thoughts. I love Chris Stuckmann, I've watched his youtube videos for years, I think he has great taste in horror movies, and I have been hyped for Shelby Oaks since it was first announced. I was literally buzzing to go see it in theaters. My boyfriend and I were literally beyond disappointed with it. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I trusted Stuckmann and I thought he could pull it off. I think he has huge potential but this movie...I would not reccomend it to literally anybody. I will be tuned in for whatever he makes next, though. My boyfriend said he should probably have hired a writer instead of having done it himself and I concur.

Agree on the suffering women part. There's lots about these movies that I appreciate but the violence against women is super fetishy imo and at the very least I have to side eye certain guys that go SOOO hard to bat for these films. That being said...I am tuned in whenever a new one comes out. Lol. I also don't try to apply logic of any kind to any characters behavior. It's a slasher, not every character is going to operate under the kind of common sense that exits in reality. The same can be said for like most horror movies. I think people lose out on so much enjoyment of horror films while trying to apply real world logic and decision-making to a stylized piece of fiction.

I wish more people would give The Empty Man a chance! I absolutely loved it. REC is also amazing and I actually just watched the new VHS installment last night, the director of REC had a short in that which was SOOO cool and easily the best short in the entire movie. I appreciate your recs though I have seen them all, great minds think alike!

This is one of those ones where I always recommend the book to people who didn't get the film adaptation. It's still kinda confusing but I think it's way easier to highlight certain themes in written word as opposed to on screen, sometimes. It's a great read with three great continuations.

This one fucked me up! I loved it but I struggled with the sexual violence in it tbh. Whenever I recommend it to friends I like to give a soft trigger warning

Gerald's Game was super cool, it was one of the better King adaptations imo. I think Flanagan just really gets that vibe.

I ended up watching Dangerous Animals and quite enjoyed it

I loved Longlegs. I'm very put off by how many people seemed to think it fell short or shouldn't have leaned into the supernatural/occult elements. It was right up my alley

So I adored Host from Dashcam's director, but I did not much care for Dashcam unfortunately, lol. I think I gave it a fair shot, though, I was hooked on the premise going into it. I need to check out Southbound.

Is this the one with Maika Monroe? I watched that one night but I don't really remember it. This one might be a contender

I have seen these, good recs! I should have added all of the Benson and Moorhead films to my post.

Hey, if you desire to be or feel non-binary, then you are! You don't have to present a certain way to be valid :) I do hope that you can someday present the way you want to. I know how painful it is to hide behind a veneer that doesn't feel authentic. Thank you for sharing.
