Critiques as well as Comic Relief
Although "Sharks of the Corn" gives viewers a fresh and different adventure, it's not without it's flaws. It frequently switches between distinct characters and scenes which can leave viewers confused in a struggle to comprehend the various plot lines. It's a deliberate decision in terms of design in the film that adds to its spoof character of the film although it's not every person's cup of tea.
Production values for the film are intentionally low and the acting is in the category of unreliable. Even in a sea in which performances are mediocre, Steve Guynn shines through with his remarkable performance. His acting is exemplary, realizing his character instead of doing nothing more than reciting his line after line. This is a rare example of authenticity in a sea full of cliched performances.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" has a budget-friendly style with cheap effects that have the charm of. The majority of shark attacks can be hilariously shown using hand-made puppets that add the illusion of a certain absurdity the movie. This bizarre plotline, which revolves around a cult of sharks' plan to resurrect the shark goddess in the middle, is where the film truly unleashes its creativity. Yet, it often isn't translated into an entertaining movie experience.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
One aspect where "Sharks of the Corn" fails is the cinematography. The cinematography and frame work come appear amateurish and lack the polish and finesse that is typically found with mainstream horror films. Although it could be a deliberate choice in keeping the look of low-budget films, it does impact the experience overall. experience.
In the final analysis "Sharks of the Corn" is an acquired taste. It's an uninteresting and slow collection (blog) of scenes that may be confusing of. The film's low production costs along with the lack of clarity in plot lines, as well as uncertain acting are likely to turn off individuals seeking a more sophisticated horror-comedy. However, for people who enjoy poor films for entertainment "Sharks of the Corn" has a hard time delivering what they expected in terms of hilarity.Final Rating Final Rating: One "Stock Footage Overlay" Out of Five
With its low-quality video, recording, acting and edits "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite meet the right note. While it could be a fantastically fun spoof film it ultimately fails to deliver an enjoyable and coherent enjoyment. As a critic, I end with a funny note: films, much like corn, can only be improved in the event that you throw explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" fails to make the grade.
