Review of Tusk (2014) by Vy L — 24 Dec 2014
This is my first introduction to Kevin Smith the come out of retirement horror film director, having not seen his other foray into the genre Red State, and I do have to say that there is some talent her for concept and moments, particularly between Justin Long and Michael Park's scenes together and once Justin pops in the Walrus suit itself, providing some good moments of creepiness and a general sense of unease.
Smith's trademarks are of course still present with his normal sense of comic banter for the more normal sequences as well as his always on display love of all things Canuck from Hockey to Degrassi as well.
The film mainly suffers if anything just from a consistent tone across the board as to whether it wants to be straight up horror, absurdist comedy or farce or all three combine. Once he figures that out it will be interesting to see what else he comes out with project wise, but one thing I must do is commending him on jumping into unknown waters with this one.
