The Horror film, directed by Kevin Smith, is the first in Smith’s three-part True North trilogy (based on Canadian myths and cultures) and stars personalities like Justin Long, Michael Parks, Haley Joel Osment, Genesis Rodriguez, Lily-Rose Depp and Johnny Depp.
The Tusk follows the story of a podcaster, Wallace Bryton, who travels to Canada in search of mysterious personalities to interview.
There he meets up with a retired seaman, Howard Howe, who tells the story of a Walrus – whom he named Mr. Tusk – who rescued him after a shipwreck.
However, what Wallace was not aware of was Howard’s strange obsession with the walrus, so much so that he intends to surgically turn Wallace into a walrus.
The movie has amassed millions of views, and viewers have a lot to say.
One person writes: “This will be forever ingrained in my brain and I will never forgive the person who made me watch this.”
Another adds: “The ending had me literally traumatized.”
A third warns people against watching it.
“Just watched… please if you’re thinking about it… don’t.”
Somebody else says: “Simply unforgettable.”
Famous horror fanatic and TikToker, Heidi Wong, also ranked it as one of the most insane horror movies she has ever seen, saying: “Out of all the horror movies that I’ve seen, this one gets to me the most.
“This movie was worse than The Human Centipede to me.”
Critics have also given their reviews, with many praising it and the director, Kevin Smith.
Behind The Lens‘ Debbie Lynn Elias penned: “A thought-provoking, subtextual philosophical commentary on humanity and man, with an emotional and visual depth that is undisputedly the best work of [Kevin] Smith’s career.”
Deidre Crimmins wrote for Film Thrills: “It is preposterous, disgusting, and hilarious. It is destined to be a classic and was a hell of a lot of fun to watch.”
The next part of the trilogy is yet to be released; however, work on it might be commencing soon.
In 2022, Long revealed to Slash Film: “He [Smith] texted us all the other day, Haley [Joel Osment] and Genesis [Rodriguez], and he told us that he wanted to do it, and I thought it was a joke.
“And then I realized he was being serious. And then one of the [other] interviewers said, ‘Yeah, he said the same to me.’”
