Critiques as well as Comic Relief
While "Sharks of the Corn" provides an original and refreshing adventure, it's not without the flaws. It often jumps between diverse characters and scenes which can leave viewers confused as they struggle to understand the various plot lines. It's an intentional choice of style and adds a spoof style of the film but it's not everyone's cup.
The production quality of the film is intentionally low and the actors' performance falls into the realm of questionable. In the middle of weak performances, Steve Guynn shines through with the laudable character he portrays, acting as his character, not being merely repeating scripts. This is an uncommon example of real acting in the midst in which the actors are exaggerated.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" showcases its low-budget appeal with unpretentious effects that hold an attractive charm. The majority of shark attacks are hilariously portrayed by hand-made puppets that add an element of absurdity the movie. A crazy plotline, centering around the shark cult's plot to revive a goddess of sharks This is where the film completely unleashes its wit. Unfortunately, that creativity usually fails to translate into an thrilling enjoyment.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
One aspect where "Sharks of the Corn" has a problem is in the cinematography. The film's framing and images come seem a bit amateurish, and do not have the high-end polish and precision that's found in popular horror films. Although it could be a deliberate choice to retain the budget-conscious aesthetic yet it does affect the performance of the entire experience.
