I can now add being drugged by a psychotic scientist and surgically turned into a walrus to my irrational fears list.
Same, I'll have nightmares about it forever
Yep, me too. I’m also now afraid of real walruses!
@@sockgoblin2942 those bastards were always scary...ion trust no murderous sea sausage
"perfectly rational fears list"
@@abirb7140 Make sure you specify the murderous sea sausages with ice pick teeth, otherwise I might think you meant a leopard seal
Tusk is easily one of the top “Fates Worse Than Death”.
It’s in the ‘Fates worse than death’ universe with Human Centipede
this would be an interesting video...
like "top 5 fates worse than death in movies"
@@makaylar.6722 That is definitely a video that already exists. LOL. Probably in several versions.
Martyrs. Definitely Martyrs.
@@thekawaiislartibartfast42 what’s Martyrs? I don’t do well with body horror but I’m morbidly curious.
tusk’s body horror and the loss of autonomy is genuinely horrifying for about two seconds, then you realize how fucking ridiculous it is
People were talking about how horrifying it is and body horror is something that usually bothers me a lot but tusk doesn’t as much? It’s a level of ridiculous that I just can’t buy into so I can’t really do anything but laugh at it.
I think its meant to be comedic
Amanda repeatedly clarifying that she DOESNT want the man to want to have sex with the walrus but needs it to happen for the plot took me out lmao (ok also them not putting him out of his misery was just cruel)
or save him with surgery
Them not putting him out of his misery AND then reminding him he's human, shattering the illusion that made him less miserable is even worse
Wallace’s “friends” are the worst friends ever. Also, what kind of animal sanctuary sees Wallace and thinks that looks like a completely normal walrus?
it's an EXOTIC animal sanctuary and he's one of a kind
The kind parents take thier children to as a punishment.
Right, any good friend would have just put him out of his misery at the end 😭
Tbf Wallace was the worst (boy)friend ever too. But honestly the ending is totally ridiculous because the whole film is ridiculous.
@@AmandaTheJedi AND to top it off his friends left him in Canada.
These movies disturb me so much, because the idea of being trapped helpless and unable to be understood or found is the most terrifying thing ever.
Then you should never watch MARTYRS. The Spanish version. Watch a CZcams summary of it instead if you get curious.
Boy oh boy you need to read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. But just for the end!
Part of the reason I learned ASL in middle school was because I had this horrible fear that one day I’d lose the ability to speak but would need to say something. So I wanted to have as many venues as possible to communicate.
But then it just opened me up to fears of things like locked-in syndrome or paralysis affecting my voice *and* arms.
@@Annie_Annie__ If you lost the use of your arms you could always learn to blink Morse Code. Or toe tap it.
That's my life in the Marine Corps...
Why couldn’t he have just, you know, go and gotten an actual walrus? It seems like less trouble to attain an actual walrus, than surgically altering a human being to look like a walrus, when walrus’s are an actual thing that still exists.
i havent seen the movie personally (just not interested. i know medical people and research medical topics as a hobby so its hard not to get too nitpicky even with what ive seen in reviews) but what i have seen others say because this is a reasonable question anyone would ask at first is that his mr. tusk was more human than other walruses. that is hearsay tho so maybe he just thought it would be fun who knows..
@@the_homun_system This could very well be it. Plus in the movie he does say man is the most dangerous animal, so maybe he wanted to fight a manmade walrus for this very reason.
Its simple, he didnt want to hurt a Walrus. He likes them and hates humans.
I’m wondering how the killer kept Justin (-‘s character) alive through multiple extensive surgeries without assistants, and nurses for postop care, and many many units of blood, and how did he match the extra skin to prevent rejection without lab analysis, and then i realized i may be missing the point
I was also having those thoughts. Also what was the killer's walrus suit made of? Because if it's identical to Justin's massacred body, it has to be human skin right? But like wouldn't the skin start to decompose and even turn into leather? How recently was the skin suit made? How is this more terrifying than the actual body horror to me?
it stops being horrifying when you realise it would never work.
It's like a typical horror/sci-fi/zombie/fantasy story. If you try to analyze how it might happen in real life, the honest answer is it couldn't. They are meant to be entertainment, nothing more. That's why having a laugh at the absurdity, especially of this story would be okay. Just like laughing about zombies, or vampires, or ghosts at Halloween is just fun. In fact now I want a t-shirt that says, "You will be a walrus, or you will be nothing." People won't understand unless they know the movie.
I'm still wondering what he did with the walrus penis
I just don't understand why he didn't just tie him up, like tie his legs toghetehr and put him in a walrus suit, it's so much easier 😂.
But I guess we really needed the disgusting human skin walrus
"Is the human indeed a walrus at heart?", "YOU WILL BE A WALRUS OR YOU WILL BE NOTHING", "walrus dont/never cry". So many memorable sentences, all good for a tshirt.
The second one pls I’m dead
All reasonable tattoo ideas too
@@davidsantiagotate7380 no doubt
Walrus or BUST!!
@@davidsantiagotate7380 Not to mention the potential for plastic surgery.
I love how Amanda was so convinced that the guy’s relationship with the walrus, and the intended relationship with his victim, was of a sexual nature.
Tbf, i was 100% expecting that, and was surprised when it wasn't
That was possibly the most Kevin Smith thing in this movie-the weird bait and switch where it’s not going to sexytown.
It’s going somewhere far worse. 😭
She was so surprised when the detective said there wasn't anything sexual going on XD probably disappointed too in a way
I have a feeling that if Wallace had been a woman they would have made is sexual
I mean the man kept the dick bone on his mantle. That's a bit...sus.
" You'll be a walrus or you will be nothing at all. " Honestly, being able to deliver a line like that so well is really quite impressive. Highly quotable...!
This movie is like poetry. From him saying he doesnt need both legs after watching Kill Bill kid cut his leg off to later loosing a leg and freaking out to the the 'walrusses never cry' line and him crying at the end to show he's still human. It's beautiful yet horrible at the same time I love it!
I used to brag about being immune to horror movies and then I got a full blown panick attack watching the trailer, just the trailer for tusk and it wasn't until I read I have no mouth and I must scream that I realized I am terrified of a specific type body horror.
Everybody is afraid of something
Body horror is a different animal when it comes to the horror movie genres… it’s the disturbing aspects of it that make them not a very enjoyable experience, at least for me.
@@whitneybaxter3299 An absolutely unenjoyable experience for me lol
Yet I keep torturing myself by watching these things because I want to be here for *the story* and *the cinematography* and *the acting* while covering half of the screen with my hands to keep myself from wanting to throw up everytime someone sews a mouth shut or turns a body into a blob. Human beings are incredible.
Same. I'm usually open to watch most horror movies at least once, but I saw Ryan Hollinger's video about this one and nearly puked like 3 times. I realized I was never gonna make it through the whole thing
@@mariaah3073 I get it, for some people “it’s hurts so good” lol 😂
TUSK is pure pure pure body horror and made me never want to visit a zoo :(
I never knew I was sensitive to body horror. Haha. Learned something new
@@obsessedweirdoo6922 It's okay, you're not alone. I've known for years. Discovered it with human centipede. Thinking about it still troubles me to this day.
Disturbing body horror like this always haunts my mind for a week or two after I see it. Super gross
Seing a normal walrus would be never the same anymore....😫😫
I’m more afraid of the Tusk than I was afraid of Human Centipede (never watched the movie, only saw fragments in youtubevideos). I’m not even sure I can stomach to watch it here like that with Amanda. I felt panic start to rise when I saw the thumbnail for that video.
Update: I survived through it! Amanda's focus on the idea that the reason is sexual made me laugh throughout
With Human Centipede it seems like you could have corrective surgery and be mostly (physically) okay afterwards, though of course scarred. There’s no coming back from walrusification
@@alisaurus4224 oooh, you're right!
@@alisaurus4224 the term walrusification scarred me for the rest of my life
@@duygutezcan3341 the term walrusification made me the happiest person on this planet
As long as I was the front of the human centipede, I'd survive.
I really think the fact they didn't reconstruct him at the end shows there wasn't enough human left to fix.
The crying shows he has a soul and is still in there somewhere but he was already too far gone for anyone to help him.
I love how frustrated you are that there's no weird walrus fetish in this lmao.
It seriously would make so much more sense if he wanted to fuck the walrus.
@@emclaire7027 ikr? But let’s remember it’s a Kevin Smith movie, you can’t seriously ask for it to make sense.
“I don’t WANT him to fuck the walrus but it really seems like he SHOULD”
@Ali the Heep The dance scene was totally a bait we all fell into like FINALLY he's about to fuck it 😂😂😂
I saw the walrus scene when I was like 11. Safe to say, I can barely look at a photo of this movie without panicking.
I’ve never watched this movie but I’ve seen tons of people do commentary vids on it and seen plenty of stills from the movie and goddamn is it disturbing
I must apologize about the spittake laughter I did for your comment.
Hey buddy, I say it when I was 13. I feel your pain. Now though....I just laugh at it. My brain doesn't know how to process it.
i'm so sorry oh my god
me too
Whether it's considered a good movie or not, it's difficult to hit this exact vein of horrifying, funny, and sad. Kevin Smith deserves some recognition for that.
*And* hilarious, the scene where the walrus-abomination is revealed I laughed so much
The reaction to “based on actual WHAT” had me dying laughing from the very start 😂
Ah, Tusk. Tusk is one of those movies that sounds impossibly ridiculous and stupid based on hearing the premise, but it’s only when you’re entrenched in watching it that you really just… Understand the horror of it. I will never forget my experience watching Tusk.
I legit got to the reveal of the “walrus” and understood how it happened, nearly puked, and never finished the movie
I'm a little confused as to how people can find it funny. I understand laughing at the PREMISE but seeing the actual...execution? Horrifying!!!
@@CapriScorn_Rising SAME. This is like the one movie I couldn’t finish because it was so upsetting. I could handle more extreme movies just fine but like... this movie wasn’t funny, it was just cruel and miserable.
I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in this. I read the synopsis a while back, laughed out loud because it sounded absurd and funny, then actually read the details and watched the trailer and felt sickened. Gave me human centipede vibes all over again - another film I will never watch for as long as I live. These things and body horror truly disturb me like no other
I found it confusingly funny, uncomfortable and disturbing all at the same time. I was so confused what I was supposed to feel watching it.
Literally everything about this film feels like a fever dream. Based off a podcast. Has child star Haley Joel osment in like the only adult role I’ve ever seen him in. Lily Rose Depp’s first film role. Johnny depp playing the detective and then reprising the role for a spin off. like ?????????
I'd really recommend Osmet on a flick called "Sex Ed".. not super great but I really liked him in it. Also he was in the Amazon series "Delta House" (worth a watch) and he was really funny on Hulu's "Future Man".
He was in an episode of What We Do in the Shadows too.
He was in the Entourage movie 😂😂
Wait, spin off?
Hes in the boys too!
I will never get over “WALRUSES DON’T CRY.”
I was so disturbed by what I was seeing so far but this line was what shocked me out of the horror by getting me to laugh and it got me to be able to watch the rest lmao
Fun fact, a guy I went on a date with insisted we watch this. We were the only two in the audience and it was our only date. 😅
Yeah, I feel like this is a date movie you save for someone you KNOW likes stuff like this. Def not a first date movie.
Tusk genuinely makes me nauseous, it's one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen and I have no idea how people think it's a horror comedy. WHERE'S THE COMEDY?!?!
Agree! I watched it thinking it was going to be funny and it was just disgusting.
Kevin Smith made it, he has no concept of comedy
There is definitely jokes in there and really it's one of those things where if body horror doesnt fuck you up you can see the funny parts but omg the body horror element is so fucking fucked I can totally see the nightmare fuel
I think the “comedy” is the idea sans the horror is .. literally everything else.
honestly johnny depps role was the only character who i felt was comedic
Half of this is just Amanda being in Canadian distress, I love it.
Being a Shook Canuck?
Johnny Depp’s daughter was also one of the clerks at the convenient store. This film was so weird! I watched it out of morbid curiosity. Loved your video! 😂❤️
Funfact Kevin smith is actually pretty good friends with Johnny depp there daughters went to the same school as kids and were and I’m pretty sure still are best friends
I mean, she says this at the end of the video?
If you loved the video how did you miss her pointing out Lily Rose Depp? 🤔
@@vulpixle9659 this was also mentioned in the video wtf
I don't know what's more cruel tbh. Being turned into a walrus, or being kept in that TINY barren enclosure :((((
EXACTLY!!! Get my man some enrichment!! This is not an appropriate pinniped setup!!!!
let’s all pray for amanda after her experiencing the disturbing mess that is tusk.
Yeeep. It was disturbing enough just seeing parts of it here.
I've still never seen the movie, only watched CZcams reviews and it kept me up for weeks. I still can't even think about it without anxiety.
Just the horror of being kidnapped and mutilated like that fucked me up
Same Jovan, same...
*shudders*
Me too! Took me 2 days to finish this video… it kept me up at night but I figured finishing her video would easy my mind. Now that I know the ending hopefully I can stop thinking about it lol
You guys aren't alone. Stuff like this really bothers me.
Nonconsensual body modification is the only horror that I can't get over.
I am a glutton for body-horror. I love the stuff, especially when it deals with metamorphoses and utilises practical effects. Cronenberg's "The Fly", John Carpenter's "The Thing", Kostanski's and Gillespie's "The Void"...
I saw "Tusk" once. I don't want to ever see it again, and the only thing that soothes the pain is watching others share in the trauma.
Much as the weepy manchild has fallen from grace as of recent, I cannot deny that he created something wonderfully deranged here.
This actually made me feel sick to the stomach. There's something about the body horror that my body just completely rejected
My friend stumbled onto this movie by accident and she was scarred for life by it. I've only seen reviews, but I understand because body horror freaks us both out. We ended up swearing to each other that if anything like this happened to us and it couldn't be reversed (still calling bullshit on them not even trying because I'm sure at least some restoration could be done), then we would mercy kill each other, like /good/ friends.
Anyway, this movie is bizarre and I love it for that but also refuse to watch it alone XD
Tusk is an unforgettable movie. I want to forget it so desperately.
My gosh yahll so sensitive 🤣shits fake n acting yahll acting like it was a snuff film
So my partner has wanted me to watch Tusk for years now and I just…can’t. So I’m grateful to you for this video.
I live for CZcams reaction videos of horror movies so I can be informed of the premise and what’s happening without committing to watching the whole thing! Plus having someone commenting on it and finding ways to make the experience humorous too makes it more bearable and enjoyable, too.
When watching this I had a question running through my head the entire time.
Why a walrus?
why NOT a walrus? -Kevin Smith, probably
Thank you for making watching this horrific movie funny. The "that's chEATING!" and "if you start making the terms of walrus fighting, you cannot bust out of the walrus suit!!" when the crazy guy popped out of the walrus suit had me crying
Hey guys my SCREAM video was Age-Restricted so it would EXTRA mean a lot if you checked it out and shared with anyone you thought might enjoy it. In the meantime I hope nothing you see here today traumatizes you.
EDIT: They reversed the restriction! Thanks everyone
I mean, you did put the walrus in the thumbnail...
I really enjoyed the scream video its one of my favorites so far
Surprised that it was age restricted! It didn't feel all that intense to me. It was quite interesting, I haven't seen any of the Scream films, but the video introduced me to what they're about
I made it 12 minutes, but I can't watch any more. I've gotten better with horror in general, still can't handle body horror (and yes, I stopped at an incredibly tame part) I'll leave a second comment and like the video, hopefully that will counterbalance the dip.
I'll loop the SCREAM video tonight as well. I'm also realzing how unecessary this comment is. Oh well.
You Da Best.
@@luthientinuviel3883 Yeah I'm trying to get in touch with someone to check it over again and see if its just a wayward clip that's too graphic for them
This is my one HARD PASS movie. There is not enough money in the world to make me watch it. Couldn't tell you why except the concept disturbs me to a level I didn't know was possible
The idea of losing ones autonomy, agency, voice, having your LITERAL HUMANITY stripped from you... yeah, that's a NOPE from meeee **takes another xanax**
I've been panicking just from seeing this thumbnail and I figured I'd finally watch the video to see if I can get past that panic and revulsion by confronting it so... about to watch. Wish me luck.
@@infpdreams believe it or not I just woke from a nightmare involving this monstrosity, uughgh. Best of luck! That was my rationale when clicking on it... face your fears and all ://
@@autumn_equinox I'm lucky in that I wasn't as disturbed by it as I was by the Human Centipede, which may have been because of the slight humorous tone in this film. That and less (current) victims being tortured at once. Seeing the "walrus" in action also made it look more... cartoonish to me? More like a costume, while the picture in the thumbnail hit my brain harder. It's strange, the way our brains process horrors like this. I'm sorry you had a nightmare about it! I hope your brain "got it over with" now that the nightmare has passed and it won't dwell on it.
There really is something to be said about horror that revolves around what messed up humans can do to one another. Ghost stories scare me more, but shit like this sort of just festers in the subconscious, ready to leap up unexpectedly when something abstractly reminds you of it. I'm never going to look at walruses the same.
@@infpdreams oh wow, yes, everything you said here. I am oddly not bothered by the human centipede at all, though... Perhaps because I find it so outlandishly ridiculous and thus dismissible (moreso than a human skin walrus suit ?? Idk my brain is a strange, mysterious place).
I was first made aware of this movie about a year after its release and have since only seen reviews like this, clips, and a plot synopsis during an unfortunate time when I googled it out of curiosity (and thus of course got the lovely google images lineup- "the picture hit my brain harder" YES!).
I literally haven't been able to look at/listen to actual walruses since. I can't stand to even watch oceanic/marine life documentaries featuring the real animal. I know it sounds like an extreme reaction, and it is, but I can't quite explain why I find myself not only psychologically but physically repulsed by the mere thought of them/this piece of detritus movie. It's... baffling. Especially considering I normally have a VERY high tolerance for most subgenres of horror, mainly because I could make bingo cards for how many tropes they usually dabble in, but This Damn Movie... It got me, like no other.
I dissociate if I'm exposed to too much of it (that wailing, the suit, etc) and nope on out of my body. It really is unprecedented. As for the nightmare, well... I'm shocked that happened at all. I can name three movies in total that have managed to dig their way into my subconscious so deeply that they invaded my dreams. It hasn't happened in years.
Its outright power seems to be waning, but I'm never quite sure. It might just be waiting... ://
This movie scarred me so badly 😭 I watched this with my mom, sister, and boyfriend, and I think we all silently agreed to never talk about it ever again. I keep it tucked very far away and avoid any walrus imagery as much as possible.
would you say you keep it *tusked* away? 😃
@@summerdawn4060 💀 Lmao I don't think I could've asked for a better response than this 🤣 you definitely left me blubbering with how hard I laughed at that
Boy, Justin Long really goes through it in his horror film roles.
Yep, this one was traumatizing. After watching it the first time I thought "yeah I'm never going to watch this again." Then a couple years later I showed it to someone in an "I'll show you the weirdest movie" competition 😅 and after watching it a second time I thought "I need to own this" and now it's in my collection.
But did you win the competition tho?
Commenting because I need to know if you won
Something you can now whip out at the next family reunion. They'll love you for it.
Perfume: The Story of a murderer is the weirdest movie I've ever seen...
I did but it's difficult to remember what other movies we watched other than this, Color Out of Space, and May (which was one of my choices too.) There were a lot of weird ones but this definitely was the winner 🏆 lol
"Everything that happens in this movie is Québec's fault!"
How dare you Amanda, we loved you! On the other hand, we accept Johnny Depp as one of us, anytime!
✨Johnny depp✨
Well, as a Canadian, everything is Quebec's fault
This feels like some insane blend of Misery and Human Centipede, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Thank you to Amanda for having the courage to cover it!
Before watching this:
I saw Tusk with no context or prior knowledge of what it was. I saw the cast and assumed it was some sort of odd comedy or parody of horror, but no. I was wrong, I was deeply disturbed and uncomfortable the entire time, and the ending will always piss me off. I'd never seen a movie that made me that uncomfortable before. So basically, good luck Amanda lol
This was definitely the weirdest Fleetwood Mac tribute that Kevin Smith could have made.
Or was it a tribute to MST3K Wurwilf? 🤔
*Don’t say that you love me!*
Tusk is pretty high on my "Movies I Will Never Watch" list.
I'm so sorry, Amanda.
The things you put yourself through.
Also, "I don't need both legs."
FORESHADOWING!!!
This movie instantly activated my fight or flight instinctive. The first time I came across it I wasn’t okay for the rest of the day and a few days after that. It’s such a visceral experience.
I’ve always been partial to the detail that the walrus suit body mods are totally reversible (as the corpses are de-walrused *before* being dumped - which implies the walrus hide is stitched on like couch upholstery, and can be removed as such, and not fused to the body.) Anyways. His friends know this. He just sucks so bad they choose to keep him like this. The movie never brings this up again.
The arm and leg removals aren’t reversible! That’s a good point about the larger body but it then makes me wonder what all the extra bulk is made of
@@alisaurus4224 no idea!! That’s horrifying, isn’t it? However, when wearing the walrus suit, the villain had the same bulk as Wallace, and he was able to rip through it like paper (or flesh) without encountering any barriers, so I think the movie literally forgot to account for that. I’m going to assume though that it’s murder victim meat padding the costume, but I think that’s putting more thought into it than the movie did.
I think hypothetically with the right surgery, you could unanchor the arms the same way they were anchored, but honestly, it’s been like… years since I’ve seen this! So, I’ll take your word for it :)) but IRL disabled people exist and have good lives without full arm mobility (also without legs) so I guess Wallace’s biggest issue would be mental trauma, after a lot of OT and physical therapy.
He should’ve tried not being an edgelord podcaster and maybe his friends would’ve googled it before dumping his weird ass in a zoo.
@@mysteriousnonamegirl7685 oh for sure. I didn’t mean to imply life without functioning limbs isn’t worth living, just that un-walrusing would require lengthy recovery and large adjustments to “normal” life
@@alisaurus4224 @Ali the Heep Don't worry, I didn't think you meant that at all! I was just trying to express that other people have been dismembered, and then carried on with life with some minor and major adjustments - Wallace just... well. You saw the review. Thanks for talking walrus deconstructive surgery with me, I had fun. Sorry for getting kinda pretentious and coming across like that, I just got overexcited, I think it's fun to get into the nitty gritty of movies! :))
Seeing you two talk so nicely just warms my heart
I’m probably going to have nightmares for the rest of my life of being turned into a walrus now…so that’s fun. Thanks Amanda and Kevin I really needs to add that to my list of irrational fears.
This movie has ignited a crippling fear of walruses deep in my soul. I will never be able to look at the moustache seals the same way again.
Same, and it pisses me off bc they are such great animals, fuck this movie dude
Ikr
same
when i was in middle school my sister stayed in a few different treatment centers for eating disorders and at one of them, for reasons unknown, the staff let them watch Tusk. when she came home we watched it together and i really liked it, just because of how absurd and ultimately horrifying the premise is
Why are Wallace`s friends feeding him fish at the end? He is still a HUMAN not a Walrus. Give this man something good to eat! Like a Pizza!
I know right. It's like they found him, didn't call the police, and decided to just dump him somewhere and leave. Either kill him, or get him a medical doctor and some therapy. It's beyond cruel to just dump him in an enclosure and leave him behind like that.
I like reading the plots of movies I know I’ll never watch. It satisfies my curiosity and I don’t have nightmares at night, it works for me. I had a hard time even reading the synopsis for this one, and then I made the mistake of going to google images. First thing I saw was the stupid fucking walrus suit. It’s haunted me ever since.
You're lucky. I have to watch all of those movies.
I am critic, not by profession, but for the sake of love for movies.
Lol, this af though.
Personally, I think Tusk was so messy that I don't know if it was intended to be genuinely disturbing or body-modificationally hilarious. It ends up somewhere in the indifferent middle.
I’m fairly certain based on the podcast episode where it was conceived, it’s definitely intended to be both lol
That being said I totally agree - I don’t think it fully accomplished either
I was genuinely disturbed when I watched the movie but for me, as far as the comedy, it fell too flat up against the… disturbingness.
I think that it could’ve been less heavy handed with the comedy and that would of probably made it even funnier, idk…
Tusk is a strange gem. Something that’s both strange, funny, and disturbing all in one movie.
“Man is a savage animal. Better to be a walrus.”
I love that Amanda is laughing at the parts of this movie that made me freak the fuck out. Like when his legs were gone the legitimate fear that seeped through me.
I ENDED UP CRYING AT THE END OF THE MOCVIE
"Mocvie"
i like how the biggest issue amanda has throughout the movie is _how this guy ISNT into fucking walri_
i always saw Tusk as Kevin Smith seeing the Human Centipede and thinking "how can i make this weirder?"
I think this movie traumatized me and I haven't even watched it, Just watched reviews of it. But yeah totally unfair that he can turn into a walrus without mutilating himself. But probably because as you see a "non mutilated" can escape the suit... I also look for logic . What I don't understand is why he is in a suit at all seeing how when he first killed his walrus he was human?? so maybe to make it more fair? listen I don't need sleep I need answers.
The worst part of the movie was when Johnny Depp refused to put Wallace out of his misery. There’s no coming back from that shit. A bullet in the skull would be mercy. But mercy is not a word Johnny Depp knows.
I'll never watch this movie--I'm not great with body horror--so thankee very much for helping me fill this blindspot in my pop culture knowledge.
"I don't wanna die in Canada" iconic line haha
I've had this weird fear of walruses, sea lions, and manatee's since I was a kid and this movie is very much in the not helping column
Got an ad for vancouver aquarium with the seals and walrus's in the middle of this video. the algorithm strikes again!
I love this movie honestly... and I never noticed the foreshadowing when he's talking about the kill bill kid in the beginning: "I don't need both legs"
My dad has told us to watch this for years and I googled just what he looked like after being "turned" into a walrus and felt sick to my stomach and was irrationally afraid that it was based on true events... I'll watch for Amanda, but still I feel so squeamish and disturbed by the whole concept of the movie. 🤢
Why would your dad of all people want you to watch this?
Don't worry it's only "based on true events" because of Kevin Smith's podcast. No one was actually turned into a walrus.
your dad is a strange guy, he seems cool lol
It's not possible so it isn't a true story don't worry
12:00 the line delivery of "spider... a spider bit you" is so unbelievably good
Justin Long as a walrus gave me nightmares after watching this for the first time. 😅 I had to make other people watch it so they could experience the horror I had. The ending fucked me up. I couldn't believe they just left him like that.
Holy shit. You brought me back to middle school. So my best friend got intro trouble because she made the tusk guy the background on all computers she possibly good. It caused a major change of rules on when students can use the computers 😂🤣TUSK defined my 8th grade experience 😂💀
For me something similar happened in my primary school with the possessed girl from the Exorcist. This kid persuaded everyone to play this game where you navigate a dot through a maze. When you get to a certain point it just shows you a close up of her face with no warning.
@@runningcommentary2125 For years i wondered where that face came from, and now it turns out its from a pretty big movie, i don't know how i missed it.
My friends and I did something like this but with sexy pictures of draco malfoy and snape we found in a shipping blog. Thanks for bringing those memories back, I feel like I can forget about tusk now and sleep in peace
@@runningcommentary2125 God I still fucking haaaaate the scary maze game. That experience alone is more traumatizing than the entire Exorcist movie
@@sofiipote7 you're welcome 😂. Sounds hilarious. Sometimes we all need to look back on middle schools weird events
I love how the cops just let him live in the zoo and he still has to live out his days eating raw fish
Yes! Did the surgeon change his stomach and liver and everything for walrus guts?? He’s still got human nutritional needs… i get the idea was “walrus or nothing” but c’mon
I love how most of this video is Amanda convincing herself the guy wants to get intimate with a walrus. It's hilarious.
Amanda: "No, grandma. I don't sell items on the internet, I sell myself!"
Nana: "Oh."
Few things make me physically sick just by looking at them… THIS WAS ONE OF THEM
I'm still mad he didn't call the cops. Then again a guy who goes to locations on the signs in public bathrooms doesn't exactly have a high iq.
i doubt he knows the emergency number for Canada
@@sauleiwanderapfelstrudel it’s also 911. I could see him not knowing that but they could’ve shown him going “fuck! What’s Canadian for 911?!” and then dialing the girlfriend instead of trying it
I went from pure joy at seeing Amanda content to heart-stopping terror at what exactly that content was.
Oh I 100% agree that I think these kinds of movies vastly overestimates human survival instinct lmao. I totally think I'd be trying to leave by any means possible if I were in this situation, or even in a zombie apocalypse or whatever.
This was one hell of a way to be reminded that Amanda was Canadian.
I have a frustrating relationship with this film.
On one hand, it’s a bizarre body horror that’s genuinely disturbing and unforgettable. On the other hand, it feels like the movie just gave up after he became a walrus. It was an abrupt leap from losing his leg to being sewn into the suit. Then there wasn’t too much to do with him at that point until his awful friends find him.
The horror and comedy was so unbalanced that I got whiplash half the time. Smith didn’t help this by keeping scenes too long that didn’t progress anything. And I’m still not over that overly ridiculous ending that went for an emotion it didn’t earn.
I wanted to like this movie. Teenage me was so excited to see this film as I was learning that I really liked body horror stories.
But for every thing I like about it, there’s something else keeping me from loving it.
Tes the tone is a mess. Bot Red State and Yoga Hosers have mor consistent tone (one more horror, one more comedy).
@@TrekBeatTK
I have seen Red State and it did feel more consistent.
I think it could’ve been effective to show at least a couple of stages of the walrus transformation, with Justin waking up more and more mutilated each time. He would scream and swear and beg the surgeon not to do any more, promise him money, emptily threaten him with revenge etc. until finally he wakes up with tusks in his mouth and can no longer speak at all
It's the suit for me. Every time there is any movement with it, my immersion is just gone. I go from "oh this is horrifying" to "... Did you even try? What happened?"
I think this movie was made solely for the weird body Horror and the hilarious lines it spawned.
I consider it weird entertainment 🤷
"Whats in the tea? There's something in the tea!" My child, there is ALWAYS somehting in the tea.
I learned about this movie when I was far less desensitized to body horror and it gave me hella nightmares. I couldn't watch this video, but I listened to it and I honestly think it helped me get over that a little. Thank you, Amanda. I was able to laugh at how stupid this movie really is.
I think this used to be on Netflix. I was morbidly curious but not enough to actually watch it because I was like 12 and didn't feel like gaining more trauma than I already had. Thx for finally quenching my curiosity!
i love your profile picture so much lol
Yeah, they had A24 movies after Amazon played them. Showtime has it and the A24 movies now.
You saved yourself 👍👍
I worked as an usher when this movie came out, so I kept seeing bits of this movie at work. It made me feel physically ill every time. You are braver than any US Marine.
Lmao are you seriously comparing someone watching a make believe horror movie to someone who is fighting for their lives in a real war zone.Get real
@@Ghostface__x_ you’re taking it too seriously
@@Ghostface__x_Dude. The point of the joke was the hyperbole. Obviously they don’t actually think that this movie is comparable to a war zone.
Sooo, I'm usually really bad with horror movies: I hate jumpscares, I can't bear torture scenes (or even sounds) and most kinds of visible open wounds make me feel iffy at best - but this?
Would I sit down by myself and watch this? No. But I was genuinely surprised by how funny I thought this was and how freaked out a lot of people seemed to get in comparison.
The blatant comedy alleviates a lot of the tension and makes it a lot easier to remind myself that it's just costume and makeup, not real flesh.
Edit: the cast really did a phenomenal job, too, they really made this movie when it would have been just too easy to break it
I feel like if they took him to a hospital they definitely could’ve reversed whatever the dude did to him to make him fit into the walrus suit. It would be a really weird day for those doctors though.
As a Canadian, the whole 'there's no sadness in Canada' bit cracked me up pretty good too
So this movie genuinely disturbed me but I think that's partially because I went in expecting a ridiculous comedy with horror elements and what I got was full on insane body horror (with comedy admittedly). I too will never be the same.
The fixation on the guy having sex with a walrus was truly hilarious
I'm pretty strong willed when it comes to horror images and the horrifying walrus amalgamation doesn't really get to me but the screaming really got me.
glad someone else feels this way, i was seriously unsettled by the way it seemed justin was destroying his vocal cords the whole time, but then johnny depp showed up and i was thrown for a complete loop, should’ve watched this sober
Oh, geez. What a decision
On the one hand, I have to relive the most disgusting movie I've ever seen.
On the other hand, it's covered by Amanda the Jedi.
... I'll watch.
I watched the whole video with half the screen covered up but it was still a questionable decision
@@Severalorangepeels omg me too! I only had a fraction of the screen showing, but I'm still pretty disturbed. I'm glad we're on the same page, y'all, with this shared trauma T_T
I was shocked to learn the guy from the podcast I listen to with my dad when we’re out of now playings had a body horror movie
I had a stroke reading this
Ditto, it's a small world, right?!
@@awsomedude23456 same lmao
Ok if complete commitment and a weird ability to make absolute insanity convincing is the measure of an actor, Justin Long has perfected the craft
Tusks is one of those movies that never reaches true horror or true comedy and never strikes a balance between the two. So it ends up being those forgotten horror-comedies from the last decades.
Never seen this movie, but I’ve watched so many reviews and reactions/explained videos I think I can continue on in life without actually sitting and watching this movie..
Thank you for your sacrifice
i never had the courage to watch it myself but watching with you was a great time!
someone hold me, im traumatized. this took years off my life.
This movie is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever sat through. Like it carved out its own little nook in my brain since I first watched it. It somehow feels like a real passion project but at the same time it also feels like they thought of specific scenes and half-arsed the connective bits.
Amanda is always pretty funny but there's just something about the real, raw reactions to this movie that really hits my ideal humor perfectly
Same!
'- based on a what?'
'... and now he's in love, I think?'
'you have to be SENSIBLE Kevin. SENSIBLE!'
Cannot stop giggling. When I was in my houseshare and we were low on money we would do theme film nights: Hannibal Lecter night, super-clever speculative Sci-fi night, horny Tudors night...Amanda and her reactions bring those memories back!
one time I was talking to a veteran elder goth who had worked on horror films for decades, I asked him what the scariest movie he had ever seen was and Tusk was his answer
Never thought someone would cross human centipede with sea life
this feels like one of those movies that feel uncomfortable to watch alone but would be a blast if you are watching it with friends
