“Shelby Oaks,” a new horror movie that Neon is releasing this weekend, pairs traditional narrative elements with the grainy, found footage aesthetic of, say, “Paranormal Activity” or “The Blair Witch Project.” The movie follows a woman (Camille Sullivan) who is searching for her younger sister (Sarah Durn), a semi-famous YouTube personality known for investigating paranormal phenomena, who has mysteriously vanished.

It serves as a throwback to the found footage craze of the 2000s, but with a level of authenticity that feels wholly unique — like “Blair Witch” for the YouTube age. And if you watch “Shelby Oaks” and think that it could only have been made by someone with YouTube experience, you’d be right.
