Although the video itself is not of good quality, audio, acting, and editing "Sharks of the Corn" hasn't hit the quality. It's not a bad film, but despite its potential as a comically entertaining spoof film it's ultimately a failure to provide a cohesive and engaging movie. For me, as the film's reviewer end with a funny comment: films, like corn, get even better because you have added explosions. However, "Sharks of the Corn" does not quite make the grade.
