Tusk
When his best friend and podcast co-host goes missing in the backwoods of Canada, a young guy joins forces with his friend's girlfriend to search for him.
Why it matters
Tusk delivers a grotesque and darkly comedic plunge into body horror that defies straightforward categorization.
- Kevin Smith’s most bizarre directorial detour, blending unsettling practical effects with awkward humor.
- A cult curiosity for fans of twisted transformation tales, sitting somewhere between Cronenberg’s flesh nightmares and campy exploitation.
- Michael Parks’ deranged antagonist anchors the film with eerie charm and menace.
- Not for those expecting polished scares or tight storytelling — its uneven tone is part of the unsettling experience.
