There are frequent jumps between various characters and scenes which can leave viewers confused or unable to grasp several plotlines. This is a deliberate choice in style that enhances the spoof nature of the film, although it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Production values for the film are intentionally low and the acting is in the category of unreliable. The film is nevertheless amidst a (blog post) sea that is filled with poor acting, Steve Guynn shines through with the laudable character he portrays, doing his part rather than performing words. It's the rare gem of real acting in the midst of overblown performances.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines

"Sharks of the Corn" takes advantage of its budget-friendly nature by using poor effects that are able to create some charm. Most of the shark attacks are hilariously rendered by hand puppets. These add some humour to the film. Its bizarre plot, centred about a plan of a shark's cult to revive the goddess of sharks which is when the film completely unleashes its wit. In reality, though, this inventiveness often fails to translate into an immersive and enjoyable experience.

Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional

The film's framing and images come out as sloppy, lacking the high-end polish and precision that's found on mainstream horror films. Though this might be deliberate so that the film maintains a budget-conscious look this does affect the overall quality of the viewing experience.

In conclusion "Sharks of the Corn" can be described as a taste that is not for everyone. It's a boring and dull sequence of events that can become difficult to discern the significance of.

Final Rating one "Stock Footage Overlay" Out Five

The video isn't of high-quality, and the actor, sound and edits "Sharks of the Corn" fails to hit the right note. While it could be a fantastically fun spoof film it ultimately fails to deliver an enjoyable and coherent movie. Since I am the reviewer, let me sign off with a humorous note that movies, just like corn, get even better when they include explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" isn't quite up to the cut.
