This week on Hate to Interrupt, we’re diving into two very different visions of horror and dread. First up: Shelby Oaks (2024), the feature directorial debut from YouTube critic-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, which turned an internet myth into a crowdfunded studio film. We unpack its found-footage roots, its long wait, and whether it actually delivers.
Then we revisit Midsommar (2019) by Ari Aster—a folk-horror spectacle that blends heartbreak, cult rituals and daylight so bright you forget you’re scared. We compare how each film handles dread, tone and what we’re really meant to fear.
