Critiques and Comic Relief
Although "Sharks of the Corn" has a refreshing and distinctive Sharks of the Corn trailer film, it's not without the flaws. The film frequently jumps between several characters and scenes creating a sense of disorientation for viewers or unable to grasp the diverse plotlines. It's an intentional choice of style in the film that adds to its spoof character of the film however it's unlikely to be every person's cup of tea.
The production value of the film are deliberately low and the acting falls into the category of unreliable. In the middle that is filled with poor acting, Steve Guynn shines through with his exemplary performance, acting as his character, not doing nothing more than reciting his lines. It's a rarity of real acting in the sea that is filled with overblown and sloppy performances.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" enjoys the low-budget style of film with inexpensive effects that possess a certain glitz. Many of the sharks are hilariously rendered by hand puppets. It adds the sense of humor to the movie. A crazy plotline, centering about a shark-cult's attempt to revive a mythological shark goddess, is where the movie is truly able to unleash its creative. It's just that, sometimes, this imagination does not translate into an enjoyable movie experience.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
One of the areas in which "Sharks of the Corn" falls short is its cinematography. The cinematography and frame work come to appear amateurish, devoid of the elegance and sophistication that can be found in popular horror films. While this may be intentional so that the film maintains a budget-conscious look However, it impacts the performance of the entire experience.
As a conclusion "Sharks of the Corn" can be described as a taste that is not for everyone. The film is slow and boring scene that can be hard to make sense of. The film's low production values along with the lack of clarity in plot lines, as well as poor acting might turn off certain viewers looking for a well-crafted horror comedy.

In terms of video quality, narration, actors and editing "Sharks of the Corn" hasn't hit the benchmark. However, despite the possibility of a hilarious spoof, the film fails to create an enjoyable and coherent experience. As the reviewer, I conclude with a hilarious note: movies, like corn, can only be improved in the event that you throw explosions. However, "Sharks of the Corn" just doesn't make the cut.
