Filmed by the legendary Tim Ritter, this ultra budget film draws inspiration from Stephen King's classic "Children of the Corn" (1984) and reworks it into a hilarious and bizarre comedy that'll leave you with your head scratching and squatting on the ground at the sound of laughter.

The Cornfield Carnival of Chaos

From the very first moment in an apparently innocent corn field "Sharks of the Corn" introduces the film's quirky nature. We are introduced to Gary and Susan the two main characters, who soon fade from the scene with the film taking off into unexpected directions. It weaves together horror elements and a variety of subplots. It's an enjoyable recipe that can only be described as a cornfield-style carnival filled with chaos.

A Psychoopathic Shark Enthusiast

In comes Teddy Bo Lucas, a figure who provides an added dimension of absurdity to an existing story that is incredibly confusing. The psychopathic shark lover has an uncanny adoration for these underwater predators. As if cornfields with sharks were not enough of a bizarre sight, Teddy goes on to a whole new level when it is revealed that he has committed a murder inside his motel room. This twist of surprise sets the stage for an explosive whirlwind of mystery and suspense.

There is confusion. Cults along with Sharks

The plot grows more complicated when authorities place the blame on the poor Gary for the murder of Susan, in spite of the fact that he had no motive. In the meantime, a shark cult becomes a nebulous part of the story, leading us into a world where cornfields and the cult of sharks collide. And just when you think things couldn't get any crazier, two bumbling burglars decide that they will steal a puppy shark from the cult. It's an unpredictable mix of humor and horror that will keep people on their toes.

Critiques and Comic Relief

While "Sharks of the Corn" offers a unique and unconventional movie, it's also not without its faults. It frequently switches between several characters and scenes rendering some viewers disorientated and confused by several plotlines. The film's stylistic choices are deliberate which adds to the humorous aspect of the film but it may (blog) not be every person's cup of tea.

The production standards of the movie are consciously low as is the acting, which falls into the realm of questionable. Even in a sea of weak performances, Steve Guynn shines through with his impressive performance. He actually embodying his character instead of being merely repeating words. It's rare to find real acting in the midst that is filled with overblown and sloppy performances.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines

"Sharks of the Corn" makes use of low-budget, cheap effects that have an attractive charm. The majority of the shark attacks are hilariously presented by hand puppets. This adds an element of absurdity to the movie. Its bizarre plot, centred on a shark cult's scheme to resurrect a shark goddess which is when the film really unleashes its imagination. It's just that, sometimes, this imagination can't be translated into an exciting watch.

Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional

One place where "Sharks of the Corn" fails is the cinematography. The frame and the visuals come appear amateurish and lack the sharpness and elegance that you find at the top of popular horror films. Although it could be a deliberate choice to retain the budget-conscious aesthetic However, it impacts the total quality of viewing experience.

To conclude "Sharks of the Corn" is a cult favorite. The film is slow and boring sequence of events that can be hard to make sense of. A low production standard confusion in plotlines and poor acting might turn off many viewers who are looking for a well-crafted horror comedy.

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

The video isn't of high-quality, and the recording, acting and edits "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite hit the threshold. However, despite the possibility of a hilarious spoof, it ultimately fails to deliver an enjoyable and coherent enjoyment. For me, as the film's reviewer close with a humorous review: movies like corn, can only be improved when you include explosives. However, "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite make the cut.
