Critiques as well as Comic Relief


Although "Sharks of the Corn" offers a unique and unconventional experience, it's not devoid of its shortcomings. The movie frequently leaps between distinct characters and scenes creating a sense of disorientation for viewers and trying to figure out its multiple plots. It's a deliberate stylistic choice that adds to the spoof nature of the film, but it's not anyone's cup.

The production values in the film are intentionally poor, and the acting is in the realm of questionable. In the middle that is filled with poor acting, Steve Guynn shines through with the laudable character he portrays, playing his role instead of acting out words. It's rare to find authentic acting in a sea that is filled with overblown and sloppy performances.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines


"Sharks of the Corn" shows its low-budget inclination with the use of cheap effects which have been able to create a certain appeal. All of the shark attacks will be slapstick (blog post) portrayed with hand puppets. It adds an element of absurdity the movie. The bizarre plot arc, which centers in a shark cult's plans to revive a goddess of sharks The film really unleashes its imagination. This creativity, however, often cannot translate into an entertaining viewing experience.

Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional


One area where "Sharks of the Corn" fails is the cinematography. The cinematography and frame work come look amateurish, lacked quality and refinement that's typically seen on mainstream horror films. Though this might be deliberate to maintain the low-budget aesthetic this does affect the overall quality of the viewing experience.

As a conclusion "Sharks of the Corn" has a more mellow taste. It's a slow, boring collection of scenes that may be confusing to get the hang of. Its poor production value as well as the ambiguous plot lines and the questionable performances could put off anyone looking for more well-crafted horror comedy. Even for those interested in terrible films to entertain "Sharks of the Corn" can't provide humor that one would expect to see.

Final Rating Final Rating: One "Stock Footage Overlay" Out Five


With its low-quality video, actors, audio and edits "Sharks of the Corn" hasn't hit the mark. Despite the potential for a funny spoof that is wildly entertaining, it's unable to produce an enjoyable and coherent enjoyment. As a critic, I close with a humorous note: films, much like corn, get even better when they have explosions. However, "Sharks of the Corn" just doesn't make the grade.
