The first reactions to Kevin Smith's latest movie Tusk are in and one thing
is certain, it is NOT for everyone. Despite that the general consensus is that
it is a fun horror-comedy.
Tusk follows Wallace (Justin Long) a journalist that finds the story of a lifetime in
Mr. Howe (Parks), a worldwide adventurer with amazing stories and a thing for
walruses.
Tusk
also stars Michael Parks, Justin Long, Johnny Depp, Haley Joel Osment, and
Genesis Rodriguez.
THR:
"While a shifting focus toward other characters
dilutes the pleasure in the second half, the often funny film will please the
director's devoted fan base and win over some schlock-horror lovers who may
have little time for the Clerks universe."
JOBLO:
HITFIX:
"I think even considering the film's short
running time, there are some missteps, and the whipsaw tone of the film is
going to really put some people off. But "Tusk" would seem to suggest
that Kevin Smith has reconnected in some essential way with his love of
filmmaking, and perhaps that he's even become a different person in those
regards. If the premise itself puts you off, the film won't win you over, but
Smith's faithful fans and audiences who are drawn in by the "WTF?!"
premise are going to largely walk away feeling satiated."
I thought I'd seen it all. Then I saw TUSK. Jesus...

TUSK, a body horror comedy that amounts to Kevin Smith's sweetest film. Rambles, but to "yes, and" itself to new levels of WTF. #TIFF

Tusk was just as disturbing and hysterical as expected. Definitely the horror film I've always wanted Kevin Smith to make. #TIFF14

TUSK was lost on me. My sense of humor just doesn't stretch that far into "fucked up" territory. Was just plain horrified. Nah. #TIFF14

Whoever thought Smith did his own thing before needs to see TUSK, next level. So much Walrus yesing.

Genuinely enjoyed #Tusk for what it is - silly, dark & fun - - kind of what a midnight movie should be... #WalrusYes #TIFF14

TUSK is no good. Overlit, flat filmmaking can't match the story's lunacy. Waste of Kurtzman FX and Guy LaPointe is unreal obnoxious

TUSK: Smith goes full-walrus. Impersonal, masturbatory, deeply disturbing yet strangely sweet. But hey, he made it. This exists. #TIFF14

.@tuskthemovie gives the phrase WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! a legitimate reason to exist. In the best way. @ThatKevinSmith is back! #TIFF14 #fb

Yup, TUSK is as fucked up as expected, with some crazy cameo casting and a heap or marine mammal weirdness @mmadnesstiff #tiff14
