The film often switches between different characters and scenes, creating a sense of disorientation for viewers and struggling to follow all the different plotlines. It's a deliberate decision in terms of design that helps to enhance the spoof kind of film however it's likely not anyone's cup.
Its production values are 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 commendable portrayal, (blog post) actually performing his character and not just reciting line after line. It's a rare gem of authentic acting in a sea of (blog post) overblown performances.
Shark Puppets and Bonkers Plotlines
"Sharks of the Corn" enjoys the low-budget style of film with poor effects that are able to create an attractive charm. All of the shark attacks are hilariously portrayed by hand-made puppets that add the sense of humor to the movie. The bonkers plotline, revolving in a shark cult's plans to revive a python goddess and is the point where the film has its greatest fun. However, this creativity often fails to translate into an enjoyable entertainment experience.
Amateurish Cinematography, Explosions Optional
One aspect in which "Sharks of the Corn" misses the mark is in cinematography. The framing and visuals come across as amateurish, lacking the polish and finesse that is typically found in the mainstream horror movies. While this may be intentional for the sake of keeping a low-budget style however, it has a negative impact on the total quality of viewing experience.

Low production values as well as the ambiguous plot lines and uncertain acting are likely to turn off certain viewers looking for a elegant horror comedy.
