Critiques as well as Comic Relief
While "Sharks of the Corn" offers a unique and unconventional journey, the film is not without imperfections. It often jumps between different characters and scenes, that can cause viewers to be confused as they struggle to understand its multiple plots. It's a conscious choice of stylistic design in the film that adds to its spoof style of the film though it's probably not anyone's cup.
The production values of this film are intentionally low and the acting is in the realm of questionable. But, in the midst of weak performances, Steve Guynn shines through with his excellent performance. In fact, he is doing his part rather than being merely repeating dialogue. It's a rare piece of acting that is authentic in a sea of overblown performances.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" has a budget-friendly style with inexpensive effects that possess been able to create a certain appeal. The majority of the shark attacks are hilariously performed by hand puppets. These add the illusion of a certain absurdity the movie. The wacky plot, which revolves in a shark cult's plans to revive the goddess of sharks this is where the film truly unleashes its creativity. The problem is that this creative thinking often can't be translated into an immersive enjoyment.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
One of the areas in which "Sharks of the Corn" fails is the cinematography.

With its low-quality video, music, acting, and editing skills "Sharks of the Corn" can't quite reach the goal. While it could be a comically entertaining spoof film it's unable to produce a coherent and enjoyable enjoyment. In my capacity as a reviewer, I leave you with a lighthearted note: movies, like corn, can only be improved when they have explosions. However, "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite make the cut.
