Wiki Article

Written by legendary Tim Ritter, this ultra low-budget movie draws its inspiration from Stephen King's famous "Children of the Corn" (1984) and reworks it into an hilarious and hilarious humor satire that'll leave you both scratching your head and swaying on the floor and laughing.
This is a Cornfield Carnival of Chaos
From the very first moment in an unassuming cornfield "Sharks of the Corn" introduces its quirky nature. We meet Gary and Susan as two of the characters. They swiftly fade into the background in the film, before it veers off into unexpected direction. The plot weaves together gore elements with an abundance of subplots, creating a delightful combination that can best be described as a cornfield carnival of chaos.
A Humanistic Shark Enthusiasm
Then there's Teddy Bo Lucas, a character who adds an extra element of chaos to the extremely confusing plot. This psychopathic shark enthusiast has an uncanny obsession with these fish that inhabit the waters. In case sharks and cornfields weren't weird enough, Teddy goes on to a whole new level when the shocking crime is committed in his room at the motel. This twist of surprise sets the stage to a frenzy of intrigue and suspicion.
Consensus, Cults as well as Sharks
The story gets more complicated as authorities put the blame on the poor Gary who was responsible for the death of Susan in spite of the fact that he had no motive. As a cult of sharks appears as a bizarre subplot that introduces us to a world where cornfields and Shark worship meet. When you think things could not get much worse, two bumbling burglars decide to steal a pup from the religion. It's a wild mix of both comedy and horror that keeps you on your toes.
Critiques and Comic Relief

The film frequently jumps between different characters and scenes, rendering some viewers disorientated and unable to keep track (click information) of its multiple plots. This is a deliberate choice in style which adds to the humorous and satirical nature of this film however it's unlikely to be the ideal choice for everyone.
The production values of the film is intentionally low and the acting falls into the category of unreliable. But, in the midst that is filled with poor acting, Steve Guynn shines through with his outstanding performance. He is performing his character and not doing nothing more than reciting his sentences. It's an exceptional example of genuine acting in a sea of inflated performances.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" is a low-budget film that features the use of cheap effects which have a certain charm. The majority of shark attacks are (blog post) hilariously performed by hand-made puppets that add an element of absurdity to the movie. The absurd plot, that revolves around a shark cult's plan to resurrect a shark goddess that is where the story really unleashes its imagination. But, the creativity of this film often can't be translated into an entertaining viewing experience.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
A major area in which "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite measure up is the cinematography. The framing and visuals come looking amateurish. They lack polished and refined look that's often seen typical of mainstream horror films. This could be a deliberate decision for the sake of keeping a low-budget style however, it has a negative impact on the general quality of the watching experience.
The conclusion is that "Sharks of the Corn" is an acquired gastronomic experience. It's an uninteresting and slow sequence of events that can be confusing to get the hang of.

Final Rating 1 "Stock Footage Overlay" Out of Five
A poor quality video, sound, acting, and edits "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite hit the target. However, despite the possibility of a riotously fun spoof film, it ultimately fails to deliver an enjoyable, cohesive experience. Being a film reviewer, I concluding with a humorous comment: films, like corn, get even better when you add explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" doesn't quite make the cut.
