If Canada had a penis Kevin Smith would probably still be sucking it as I write this. The weird fascination with Canada is almost overshadowed by a piece of garbage being turned into a walrus. Haley Joel Osment has aged like a tree.

A Canadian serial killer lures an LA podcast personality into rural Manitoba and surgically transforms him into a walrus. The concept is so fucking mental and the movie commits to it with such reckless abandon, that in this era of cookie cutter blockbusters, this flick deserves serious respect simply for existing on the silver screen. Plus, it contains Johnny Depp's most entertaining performance in over a decade, and I would pay money to watch Michael Parks just reciting the phone book.

Kevin Smith does stoner Kafka for the giggles and ends up cursing Justin Long, who to this day is trapped inside a walrus costume while Adam Driver gets all his roles. It's also effectively Michael Parks' swan song, who goes out body slamming Justin Long in a walrus costume.

As one of the 3 people in the world who doesn't listen to podcasts, I missed all the wackiness that would result in the culmination of this strange film, and instead was treated to a fireside chat that led to the admiration of a polished penile bone that led to an extremely well-crafted walrus-flesh onesie that led to Johnny Depp being more racist than usual that led to an uninspired ending that felt like the time I spent my $5 fireworks allowance on 10 boxes of magic snakes. Damn magic snakes.

After spending nearly two decades making comedies, Kevin Smith apparently can't do anything else. This "horror" movie struck me as more vaguely humorous than disturbing or terrifying. Case in point, Johnny Depp as a weird French Canadian detective with a fake nose, which is consequently the best part of this piece of crap.

Apart from a fantastic Michael Parks, this movie just stumbles through its running time with boring scenes that were meant to be funny (I suppose) and silly scenes that were meant to be unnerving (I suppose). I do appreciate the batshit crazy premise, better this than the Xth bland franchise-building studio movie, but for me it mainly fell flat on its fa- ...erm, snout?

I'm a big Smith fan, but holy crap this was bad. A good idea mishandled as fuck. Smith just doesn't have the horror chops for this. Tusk can't figure out if it wants to be scary or funny and ends up being neither. You can almost hear Smith going "Yeah, I know it's bad, but at least it's funny, right?". Making scary movies is a lot like pimping religion or sex. The customer won't believe if you don't believe. You need to go all in, when making a scary movie and sadly Tusk never went FULL WALRUS.

You get exactly what you can reasonably expect from such a movie with such a plot. It basically just unfolds in front of you. Like The Human Centipede it is just too bizarre not to watch. Avoid major spoilers if possible, like any images online or any casting rumors. Kevin Smith gave Justin Long only one direction and he followed it perfectly: Look exactly like Anthony Kiedis.

This movie is crazy. I see a lot of people saying that it doesn't really work as a horror or comedy. I don't think it's really supposed to be specifically either. Or a parody. It has those elements in bits and pieces but to me it feels like it should in a genre of weird. Kevin Smith wrote a movie that is like people watching, it's interesting because you get a glimpse outside your norm. This is just outside everybody's norm. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird but I really enjoyed the insanity.

(Viewed in 2015): Tusk, the first installment of Smith's regrettable True North trilogy, is based on a throwaway podcast story which likely resulted from his love of the wacky tobacky. Dope has long fueled the creative engines of artists, but Kevin Smith was hardly a creative genius to begin with, so the effects have been deleterious for his limited artistry. Tusk is watchable due to Parks and the sheer craziness of the premise, but Smith doesn't have the skill to really make it work.

This is what happens when you get high and come up with ridiculous movie ideas...except this time the guy coming up with the idea is an actual film director who made it real! As ridiculous as anything I've seen growing up watching schlock horror in the 80's. It doesn't really work, but at least they took a risk. I say if you're going weird, might as well swing for the fences! The upcoming " Yoga Hosers" is the 2nd film in a trilogy, also starring Depp, his daughter and Smith's daughter.

Kevin Smith continues to his journey as a filmmaker who doesn't care what anyone likes. More and more, he takes on projects that he, and his devoted followers, think are great but are lost on the rest of us. There is something noble about this tactic, but it doesn't make it any easier to sit through these film. Never go full walrus. Everyone knows that.

There's something fishy about this film and it stinks. It's too bad really, I was enjoying this movie up to a certain point. Kevin Smith's direction builds up some good intrigue and suspense and then all the good-will that he builds up for you is pulled out from under you and the movie becomes (hopefully a satire of) the Human Centipede. Human body modification and torture galore and it's not pretty. It's all so very torturous and sad with a letdown ending...

The problem with those great ideas for movies you come up high on weed is that they really aren't as great as they seemed at the time. Kevin Smith should have retired from film-making when he said he would instead of making movies he came up with in an hour. Any chance this film had, was destroyed by Johnny Depp.

Parks and Long were awesome. 40 minutes (or so) in - Really creepy, great dialogue, some genuinely funny parts. Walrus reveal is gross and demented (great). Should be an 85 at least. Rest of movie - "Cameo" seriously hurts film, so weird-for-the-sake-of-weird . Rest of film is uneven. Tone shifts aren't done that well, comedy sometimes falls flat, becomes a little dull, horror doesn't work mostly, doesn't commit to anything. The end - oddly moving though, and definitely original. Also well shot.

Decent start but it just falls off the rails into grossness and boredom. I enjoyed the Canadian jokes and it looks like Yoga Hosers will focus more on that. Johnny Depp just meanders. Movie isn't funny or scary enough; just gross. It's probably easiest to summarize this movie as a concept that was too shallow. Fav scene: initial reveal of Justin Long as a walrus.

Kevin Smith's attempt at a horror movie can't help itself but becoming a comedy/horror mess by the end of the film. Michael Parks is brilliant at times as the story's villain attempting to turn Justin Long into a walrus. Once the search for Justin Long begins the story becomes a total mess including the ridiculous addition of Johnny Depp's character.

If Kevin could commit to a straight up 100% horror film, this movie could've been a 100, because the horror scenes were great. Some of the secondary storyline just seemed to drag at parts and the comedy went too over the top. As a SmodCo fan I am thankful for this film and all the endless funny podcasts we get for free, but I just wish he would've went full horror.

Some absolutely hilarious bits here. Some amazingly disturbing moments too. The tonal shifts just miss more than they hit. The initial story setting by Howe was good and although it wasn't a homerun it did have enough moments of wackiness to recommend a viewing to Smith fans or those of the actors. Depp's turn as Lapointe was over the top but had its charm. Still, just a 5.2 for me on the whole. I understand there will be those that love it though.

I wasn't expecting much from Kevin Smith's attempt to ride the coattails of "The Human Centipede", but this is way worse than I ever imagined. It's an expensively produced work of an amateur, a capricious yet predictable genre mishmash with shitty effects, terrible pacing and odious photography. But all that would be forgiven if the film was as funny as it aims to be. It's what Smith tries to pass for comedy that reeks the most.

I'll give Kevin Smith credit that he tries for different things, but sometimes, it's like a cook who decides, hey, no one's ever made anything with ketchup, ice cream, orange juice, scallops, and flax seed... so let's do this! ... The antagonist in this film is bizarre (but not in any interesting way), the characters are all unlikable, the dialogue is weird very often for the sake of being weird. Not his best work by any stretch.

An interesting idea without compelling characters or skillful direction, resulting in film that meanders throughout its runtime, never really finding its footing. There are moments of genuine tension, genuine intrigue and genuine comedy, but they are arranged in such away that a consistent tone is never reached and the impact of these scenes falls flat. Parks is hilarious whilst still bringing a surprising depth to his character. Long is hokey, but he is in a cheap(ish) human-skin walrus suit.

Because everyone I talked to did not seem to like Tusk, I was in no hurry to see it. I wish I did not wait so long to check out this movie. I found Tusk hilarious and also deeply disturbing. One of the greatest sources of laughter came from the character Guy Lapointe, played by Johnny Depp, which I was unaware of until researching it. The last scene achieved a unique film experience for me where I was simultaneously laughing, emotionally moved, and horrified. What a terrific performance by Micha

If I heard the story right (i.e. the segment of Kevin Smith's podcast playing during the credits) this movie was a big joke from its conception, not taken seriously at all. And if the creator doesn't take his idea seriously, why should I? I'm sure it was a lot funnier on paper, but the movie's biggest offense by far is just being too boring for too much of the running time.

This film is super weird, but it's kind of not weird enough. Smith doesn't fully commit to the horror or the absurdity of the story. There are several scenes containing Smith's particular sense of humour, and they just don't fit. The actual horror scenes are pretty well done - I was certainly horrified.

Tusk might be a complete failure of a horror movie, but it's very funny and far too strange to completely ignore. It goes places you probably wish it wouldn't, and is never scary or dramatic. It's weird and unintentionally funny, as well as filled with performances that are captivating -- and that's regardless of whether they're good or bad. Tusk is an oddity, and while it's not a good movie, those looking for a very weird movie might find it worthwhile.

Pretty impressive. Very disturbing. Long and Parks do great jobs, and Smith does write dialogue pretty perfectly. However the rest of this movie's writing is spotty. I kind of wish they split this into two films, one for the horror, and one for the mystery. I didn't hate Johnny Depp in this, like most, but the last half hour took something away from the film. A solid Smith film, just not on the Clerks II level.

Kevin Smith makes films for devoted Kevin Smith fans; I don't know if his legion of fans were crying out for this but here we are. It's funny and grotesque enough. Even though I don't think I'm the audience for whatever the hell this is supposed to be, I'm fine with Smith following his own weird muse into trilogies about Canadian stereotypes and turning Justin Long into a walrus. Sure beats "Mallrats", at any rate.

A sly historical allegory by Smith, eliciting from viewers the same symptoms as were found in the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study: fever, malaise, headaches, hair loss, and lesions. (Alternately, it could be argued that the film is about listening to the Fleetwood Mac song of the same name--the side effects are similar.)

TUSK is my artistic spirit animal: a whimsical, goofy idea that became reality. Is it everything I wanted it to be? No, but then again, it would have been hard to be that. Parks' dialogue is brilliant. Long plays the annoying self-important internet brat very well, too. When the walrus is revealed, it's goofy but it's twisted. "The cameo"... it's not that it isn't funny... it just doesn't really fit. 2-movies-in-1 isn't necessarily a BAD thing, but, I do wish it stuck more to one over the other.

A horror-comedy that's never funny nor scary. The only joy out of this film is to see the final form, which is reasonably satisfying. Other than that, the film is padded to hell, with digressions upon digressions, making this a horrid chore to sit through for the most part. If you found John Depp's character hilarious and engaging, then you're in luck. he's getting a whole film for himself!

This film starts off great but looses its way before the end. The first two thirds of the movie play like a really interesting and good horror film. However the final third of the film goes off course and introduces a weird and a not very affective character. A possible rewrite of the last third of the film could have made this a really good horror movie.

One utterly hilarious scene. The rest would have been better as part of a stand up routine.

From there, the raucous pair of commentators chuckled themselves silly concocting a horror-meets-comedy tale about the man with a room, a walrus suit and a cryptic ad. The ad turned out to be nothing but a prank, by the way, but when Smith and Mosier asked their Twitter followers to tweet "#WalrusYes" if they wanted to see their hypothetical script turned into the next Kevin Smith "masterpiece," thousands did so.

Smith's swinging for the fences a lot here, and he whiffs just as often as he connects. But when he connects, we're left gawping at something that's haunting and crammed with live-wire energy and unforgettably batshit nuts and--most importantly--angry and misanthropic as hell. This movie does not like people. This movie thinks its characters deserve what comes to them. And what comes to them is gross. It's interesting. I dug it, I think.

An obnoxious podcast host (Justin Long) finds himself at the mercy of a madman (Michael Parks), who wants nothing more than to have a walrus for a friend--and intends to get one by unorthodox means. Absurd premise, based on an episode of writer/director Kevin Smith's podcast, is followed through to its logical (ha ha) conclusion, and proves most enjoyable. Long, Parks, and a certain guest star provide commited and very funny performances; the practical effects are a sheer delight. Recommended.

Kevin Smith's horror film is certainly successful at revelling in weirdness. The film is laced with weird humour that is rife with cliches about Canada. While the story is intriguing, and I did laugh at some of the pitch black jokes, I found the movie has long stretches of dull scenes in the second act. I think the problem for me is that aside from the two main characters, the rest of the characters aren't very interesting and just feel like chess pieces to move the plot along.
