I LOVE bad movies. It's why I came to it with a name like Sharks of the Corn and sat with giggly glee at the fake shark going through the corn field in the beginning. What it's lacking though is a poke fun at itself. No humor really. They tried too hard to get the audience soon on with the immediate nudity of chunky girls and slashing with chunky ketchup blood.

The camera work is bad, as it should be, however, I think a middle schooler with a smart phone and social media filters could make it better (as we see on TikTok). For example, they bludgeon a guy, but we miss the hit and see their torso down with a ground shot. Head space isn't considered in any shot either.

I stuck with it because of curiosity of how bad could it get. Was it a waste of time? Maybe. Would I watch it again? Na. Will I talk about it after? Oh yeah!!

I really don't understand how these crime shows are still made and people watch them thinking they are gonna see something new. The only thing new is the case, but the format is the same. Interviews with those involved, such as family and law enforcement as a narrator explains each segue to the next interview.

If you're a true crime junkie, as most Americans are, you've already seen this before you hit play. If you've seen Snapped, which focuses on women, you've already seen this crap. And let me be clear when I say crap: it's not to discount the families or victims involved. The cases are real, the people are real, it's just the same delivery so it gets lost so that you lose sight of that and that's the tragedy here.
