Critiques as well as Comic Relief


Although "Sharks of the Corn" is a truly unique and unorthodox experience, it's not devoid of its faults. There are frequent jumps between multiple characters and different scenes, which can leave viewers confused and (blog post) having trouble navigating the various plot lines. It's a conscious choice of stylistic design that helps to enhance the spoof aspect of the film however, it might not be everyone's cup.

The production quality of the movie are consciously low and the acting falls into the realm of questionable. Even in a sea that is filled with poor acting, Steve Guynn shines through with his exemplary performance, playing his role instead of simply reciting lines. It's a rare piece of acting that is authentic in a sea in which the actors are exaggerated.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines


"Sharks of the Corn" shows its low-budget inclination with affordable effects and been able to create a certain appeal. The majority of shark attacks are hilariously performed by hand puppets. These add the illusion of a certain absurdity the movie. The bizarre plot arc, which centers around a shark cult's plan to resurrect the shark goddess and is the point where the film completely unleashes its wit. But, the creativity of this film often cannot translate into an thrilling entertainment experience.

Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional


One area where "Sharks of the Corn" has a problem is in the cinematography. The frame and the visuals come out as sloppy, lacking the finesse and polish found in mainstream horror films. While this may be intentional so that the film maintains a budget-conscious look yet it does affect the quality of the experience.

Conclusion "Sharks of the Corn" has a more mellow taste. It's uninspiring, slow mix of characters that could take a while to grasp the meaning of. The film's low production costs as well as the ambiguous plot lines and poor acting might turn off certain viewers looking for a sophisticated horror-comedy. Although it's a good choice for anyone who likes terrible films to entertain "Sharks of the Corn" fails to provide comedy that is expected.

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


In terms of video quality, narration, actors and editing techniques "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite hit the goal. While it could be a comically entertaining spoof film it's not able to offer a cohesive and engaging overall experience. As a critic, I conclude with a hilarious point: movies, like corn, improve by adding explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" fails to make the grade.
