10 Most Anticipated Horror Movies Still To Come In 2023
2. Shelby Oaks
For many years, renowned YouTuber and film critic, Chris Stuckmann, has gushed over his love of cinema, especially when it comes to aliens, monsters, and demons. So, when Chris set up a Kickstarter for his own movie, Shelby Oaks, it was wonderful to see the project raise quintuple its goal, making it the most funded horror film in the platform's history.
Because of Stuckmann's dedicated fanbase, his debut feature is sure to get a lot of attention. But even if you're unfamiliar with his work, the premise is enough to intrigue any horror fan. Shelby Oaks centres around a woman, Mia, who's become obsessed with her long-lost sister, Riley. After supernatural investigators, The Paranormal Paranoids, fail to turn up anything helpful about Riley's whereabouts, Mia vows to find her herself. Over time, Mia learns her sibling's disappearance has some connection with Riley's childhood imaginary friend, who may be more real than she originally thought.
Because Stuckmann is just breaking into the film industry, you'd assume he'd pick less experienced actors to fill in for the roles. Instead, he's bagged a powerhouse cast, including Robin Bartlett, Michael Beach, and Keith David, who are sure to give the film a lot of gravitas.
Set to be released in July, Chris Stuckmann fans can't wait to see Shelby Oaks and, in the film critic's own words, "get Stuckmannized".
