First Reactions To Kevin Smith's Tusk!

,


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:
"After a bit of a rough patch Kevin Smith is back with TUSK, a film which is maybe the best thing he's done in a decade, and strikingly different from anything he's ever tried before. It seems going microbudget – with the premise cribbed from a crazy story on his own wildly popular “Smodcast” – suited Smith just fine. Free from an obligation to investors, studios, or stars, Smith has made an absolutely macabre horror comedy that makes THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE seem almost mild in comparison."

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."
