    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..

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'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."

      ​@@nyassaisleaving990The old mans reasons and ideals are absolutely ridiculous but i think the premise is actually horrifying.
      Its ridiculous when you see Wallace suddenly morphed into a weird human Waleus hybrid but hes not... He's a human mutilated and stuffed into a walrus suit made of human skin being held captive by a man with a *Walrus* fetish.
      You can alter it a little and have a true S tier horror film.
      You can have a dude have an obsession with someone and their obsession goes beyond that of affection and adoration but its a perverse love. They kidnap someone, they mutilate someone, so they cant fight back, sew their mouth shut so they cant complain (but its reversable, so maybe they wont mind anymore and the weirdo will reverse it, and you can see how far gone they are) and explore how far the body mutilation goes.
      The body mutilation went pretty quickly in this movie but if it took longer, and you can see the person slowly degrading you can see them become something entirely different that would be horrific.

      @mysteriousnonamegirl7685 2 роки тому +21

      @@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.

    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.

    Great to see Tusk getting more recognition. So fucking batshit insane, it’s honestly one of Smith’s best movies.

      True. With dogma for different reasons, her is going as wild and weitrd as he can, and i think dogma is one of his if not his most earnest and serious, i mean still very funny, but still somehow a gravitas of a christian movie.

    I feel like if I were watching this movie I, too, would wear a beanie. That way I can pull it over my eyes and not have to see anything.

    I still to this day cannot watch Tusk. This is the closest I have come to viewing it and... I definitely don't thinkI can handle the entire movie. The humor was great though

    Thank you for making this video cause I can never bring myself to watch movies with excessive body horror.
    Also who in the world took a good look at that human-walrus abomination of a being and thought "Oh yeah this will be the perfect addition to my exotic zoo!"
