Insane and disappointing: Sharks of the Corn review.

Wiki Article

Are you ready to take the thrill of a shark-infested ride through fields of corn? Strap yourself in, because "Sharks of the Corn" promises an intoxicating mix of horror and comedy. Filmed by the legendary Tim Ritter, this ultra low-budget film takes inspiration from Stephen King's famous "Children of the Corn" (1984) and transforms it into a funny and weird joke that'll have you with your head scratching and squatting on the ground and laughing.

A Cornfield Carnival of Chaos

From the beginning of the seemingly normal cornfield "Sharks of the Corn" introduces its quirky nature. We meet Gary and Susan as two of the characters. They quickly fade into the background in the film, before it veers into different ways. The plot weaves together horror elements and a variety of subplots. It's an enjoyable combo that's best described as a cornfield festival filled with chaos.

An Mentally-ill Shark Enthusiast

It's Teddy Bo Lucas, a figure who provides an added degree of chaos to an unsettling storyline. This crazy shark enthusiast has an obsession that is unnatural with deep-sea predators. As if cornfields with sharks were not enough of a bizarre sight, Teddy extends his fascination the next level when the shocking crime is committed in his room at the motel. This shocking turn of events sets the stage to a frenzy of mystery and suspense.

Dissension, Cults As well as Sharks

The plot gets more complex as authorities place the blame squarely on Gary, a poor Gary to blame for Susan's killing, despite his lack of motive. In the meantime, a shark cult becomes a nebulous subplot. We are introduced to this world where cornfields, and reverence for sharks clash. As if you're not getting much more insane it turns out that two thieves are determined to steal a baby shark from the (blog) fanatical group. This is an enthralling mix of horror and comedy that keeps everyone on the edge.

Critiques as well as Comic Relief

While "Sharks of the Corn" provides an original and refreshing movie, it's also not without its shortcomings. The movie often switches between different characters and scenes, rendering some viewers disorientated and struggling to follow the many plot lines. It's a deliberate style choice that adds to the 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. In spite of the plethora of poor performances, Steve Guynn shines through with his exemplary performance, embodying his character instead of acting out some lines. This is an uncommon example of genuine acting in a sea that is filled with overblown and sloppy performances.

Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines

"Sharks of the Corn" makes use of low-budget, inexpensive effects that possess an appealing charm. A majority of the shark-related scenes are hilariously presented by hand-made puppets that add the sense of humor to the movie. This bizarre plotline, which revolves around the shark cult's plot 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 watching experience.

Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional

One aspect where "Sharks of the Corn" fails is the cinematography. The visuals and framing come across as amateurish, lacking the finesse and polish found in more mainstream horror movies. While this is likely in order to preserve the minimalist aesthetic however, it has a negative impact on the overall quality of your viewing experience.

To conclude "Sharks of the Corn" has a more mellow taste. The film is slow and boring scene that can be confusing of. Film's low production standards, confusing plotlines, and questionable acting may turn off the viewers in search of a smooth horror/comedy. Although it's a good choice for anyone who likes entertaining films that aren't worth the time "Sharks of the Corn" falls short of delivering what they expected in terms of hilarity.

Final Rating 1 "Stock Footage Overlay" Out of Five

With its low-quality video, actor, sound and edits "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite meet the right note. Although it has the potential to be a comically entertaining spoof film it doesn't deliver an immersive and satisfying adventure. As the reviewer, I conclude with a hilarious observation: movies, similar to corn, will only become better when they have explosions. Unfortunately, "Sharks of the Corn" fails to make the grade.
