Sharks of the Corn

About This Movie

Sharks of the Corn is one of those quirky films that sits right at the intersection of comedy and horror, making it an oddball gem. It’s set in Druid Hills, Kentucky, where the cornfields are almost a character of their own—creeping and eerie. The pacing has this delightful unevenness; it often swings from absurd humor to some genuinely tense moments. The practical effects are a mixed bag but have a certain charm that adds to the low-budget vibe. The premise of Great White sharks lurking in cornfields is just so absurd it borders on brilliant. Performances are a bit uneven, but they lean into the absurdity which somehow makes it work. It’s definitely a conversation starter, that’s for sure.

Great for late-night screeningsPairs well with other quirky horror comediesInteresting practical effects for discussion
