I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see any hilarity in the design of the walrus? Everything about it is so uncomfortable, from the stitches between the patches of skin, the sounds he makes, the look of terror and desperation in his eyes.
Yeah me too. I don't see any comedy point in this. It's totally creepy. Not cringe, creepy, totally creepy. The mix of desperation and madness is so painful to see and this final, just after he killed his hangman... Yew... I can't see this movie again. Fortunately there are these weird passages with Johnny Deep, the girlfriend and... other guy. It brings some light in this freak show. It's a bit like the Human Centipede but far more worst.
i'm pretty sure Kevin Smith meant for it to be a comedy...because..like during the end credits or after the credits or something, you hear a voice over of Kevin Smith describing the scene to someone and he's just laughing and laughing like it's the most hilarious thing. .. like he legit thought this would be a hilarious movie. i myself, thought it was a decent film, kind of piggybacking off the human centipede body horror theme that i keep seeing appear in movies.
When I saw the walrus scene by itself with NC commentary to lighten the mood, I thought it was the most fucked up thing I ever saw. Worse than any of your old fashioned snuff horror movies.
I belive that in the beginning of the movie where the cut leg, i think that the cgi is purposely bad so we set are standards low, so that when we see the wallurs suit, we're more shocked
I agree, Kevin Smith is one of the last truly talented Hollywood writers. He does put a lot of thought and care into his productions, so the bad CGI at the beginning was likely him attempting a classic misdirection "red herring".
@@Dargonhuman I was thinking it was on purpose, like a cheap effect from the kid and when he arrives in Canada the kid was walking perfectly, to show a gullible character able to believe in anything
@@benthekingofking Honestly, I was half expecting that too. The plot twist would have been the kid faked it with Adobe After Effects trying to get his channel to go viral or something along those lines. I was pretty surprised that the kid actually did cut off his leg in the movie.
I was thinking that the kid was one of the walrus patients and that was why his leg was cut off and why we don't see his body at the funeral and that's why the video effects were so bad.
like seriously, I would've asked those two why they didn't end his friend/boyfriend's suffering and call a fucking human doctor to kill him, or just do the job themselves
for how cheap the movie looks, this is the most disgusting, horrifying, and sad movie monster that i've seen in a long time. and its great but it hurts my brain looking at the walrus man
@Matthew W Jr. Hasch And in Sleepwalkers, Devil, Freddy vs Jason, The Shinning, Demon Knight, Monster Squad, IT, and Jurassic Park (not horror but still)
Dear god, that human walrus thing is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Like, dear god, the first time I saw that thing, I thought it looked more terrifying than John Carpenter’s The Thing.
I think it's more that no species wants to deal with humanity, including humanity. Because we are awful and have like 2 redeeming qualities and that's it.
@@areyousureyouenteredyourna85 That's a nonsensical one-sided view, humanity is both amazing and atrocious at the same time. Don't take for granted all the mindblowing technological and creative advancements that brought us out of the animal kingdom, I shouldn't have to list all of them.
I remember the first time I saw it my brain wouldn't process what I was seeing when the walrus was revealed.. It's so... Unreal.. Love the movie though Michael parks and Justin Long both kill it
You've gotta admit, Justin longs performance in that suit is absolutely amazing. I am completely enthralled and convinced this is a man turned into a walrus. I see no actor behind it. Just the walrus. Also considering the shit he apparently had to go through in that suit. He could barely move and it was I humanly hot.
when I read "He could barely move and it was I humanly hot" I thought you meant hot as in, well, I thought you were saying you got hard by seeing a man tortured into a walrus.
I have a dark sense of humor, and laugh at things that are probably considered crazy, but laughing at that guy as a walrus screaming bloody murder, yeah, just no
It's both "fucking horrible" and so ridiculous that he's been turned into a Walrus as much as possible that he can't talk, it's hard not to laugh, while being shocked and disturbed by the body horror.
holy.....honestly the walrus human hybrid is even scarier than any other horror monster iv seen and the whole happy music when its revealed is unsettling and adds to the horror even more.
I feel very vindicated that other people were actually disturbed by this movie as well. I'm so sorry everyone. Let's all rock back and forth and try to forget it together.
Oh, thank god I'm not the only one. I saw this and my heart legit stoopped beating for a few seconds. I can see the hilarity I guess, but to me this was plain and simple DISGUSTING. It legit gave me nightmares the first time I saw it. I didn't even finish the review once I saw the Walrus design.
@The Eyes Of A True Demon if that is true (which I doubt) idk why they would get rid of Cherri for being “too graphic” when Angel Dust is a drug addicted prostitute, Alastor is a serial killer, and the setting of the show is literally in Hell. There’s going to be some unsavory people down there who have done horrible things in their life and afterlife.
@@jordanlassiter5311 Fine, to be exact it says "Music" with "Applause" underneath it but it's there, trust me. It's at 14:24. 😉 CC literally referred to Wallace's barks as "applause." 😆
Howard wanted Wallace to kill him so he could join his walrus friend in heaven. The walrus spent its last hours helping a stranded man, so it went to heaven. Howard spent his last days turning a man into a walrus against his will, so he went to hell. Howard will never be reunited with his walrus friend. In all seriousness though, that walrus suit is one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. When I first saw it, it haunted my nightmares, but after seeing it a few more times, I accept it as the genius work of art that it is.
I could've gone my entire life without knowing about this. Also, is the implication that the numerous others who were turned into walruses drowned? And they left the guy as a walrus? No doctors trying to bring him back to something close to normal?
A few things 1) There were other numbers off that list in the bathroom taken so who knows how many people became walruses. 2) I'm in no way a doctor so I don't know if they could bring him back as a human. 3) Even if he stayed a walrus, we have different body systems so theoretically wouldn't he be dead? Like yeah he's a walrus but he's still dead. 4) I feel bad for any kid that went to that zoo and witnessed him.
Well it's still a horror film, and it would've been unrealistic to seriously think that Justin Long's character was the only person that this crazy asshole ever tried to turn into a walrus, and somehow got what he wanted on the first shot. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at how many more people died as he tried to turn them into walruses, before he perfected the procedure to do it. As for why they left him like that? Well, I'm not a doctor either, but I did hear that usually whenever you get say an arm or something cut off, you usually have to keep the detached body part on ice, and get surgery asap to get it reattached before the detached body part goes dead from the lack of blood flow into it. Once that happens, then you're basically fucked. From what I can remember from the movie, they never exactly explain how much time passed after his limbs and various other body parts were removed, in order for him to be turned into a walrus, so chances are he's probably screwed. Plus, it's never established in the film that anyone else but that crazy guy knew how to turn people into walruses, so it's highly unlikely anyone would know how to change him back either. Even if they could turn him back to at least looking human again, the problem is he doesn't have a tongue anymore, and given everything I've already said, and the fact that it's never explained what happened to his body parts that were removed, as the crazy guy could've disposed of said parts while he was unconscious, so chances are even if he was turned to look human again he'd still be a tongue less person with no limbs at all, so he'd virtually be helpless with no way to communicate with the world unless he learns how to write shit with his mouth. And finally, I think having him turn back completely as though it never happened like you seem to want it to have happened would've ruined the ending honestly. Part of the reason why he was crying at the end was because he took life granted. Always looking down on others, and thinking he was on top of the world, but now that everything he's known is taken away from him, and knowing he'll have to live the rest of his life as animal makes him realize how much he misses his own humanity. And how even though he's now more animal than man now, there's still humanity left in him. That was the point of the ending, so I don't think a happy ending would've worked for this film.
@Gabreya Bradley that's assuming he has money and a viable health coverage. Most doctors won't perform that extensive amount of surgery on a person if they don't have both. Sure sometimes you might have some doctors might do it probono but that's not a sure thing. Plus since it seemed like in the movie itself nobody else knew how to do the surgery that crazy guy did to Long's character, it's safe to assume they'd have to contact a specialist or two to revert him back to normal if that was even possible and Lord knows that will not only be expensive but hard to get a hold of said specialists especially if he doesn't have the money and good health insurance
He has no arms, legs, or tongue, how could they returned him to "normal"? The Johnny Depp character was the only one with the right ides of just killing him to release him from that horror.
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 I think considering the circumstances there’d be plenty of people willing to help him, a person being turned into a walrus by a madman would make headlines and I’m sure some doctor would do the work for free or for a very reduced cost
@@nina__serafina Fair enough, everyone has a different reaction and tolerance to gore and violence, the level of exposure does impact it hugely. My mental health isnt impacted at all by seeing real life footage of someone's face ripped off because today's explicit culture has built me up to it.
@@BuckerydogSchmuckeryDog It’s honestly impressive. This film gave 19 year old me nightmares for three days straight. That is something I never thought would happen again
I'm still baffled by the direction they took with Sorry to Bother You. NOBODY saw that crazy shit coming. It was such a jarring and unexpected change that it almost ruined the whole movie for me.
*~“The time has come.” the walrus said~* This is a movie that actually made me look away and I’ve seen The Thing, Braindead, Alien and the Freddy, Jason and Pinhead sagas without turning my head. Despite the fact that this is listed as a comedy horror I can barley look at that walrus Buffalo Bill suit. The idea of being stitched inside a costume made of human skin and then being mentally tortured into a feral state frightens me far more than any gorefest could.
It is because you have both the body horror and mental horror. One alome can be terrifying, but both together when done well chill us to our core. To lose your body and mind to a feral state is the ultimate fear of higher thinking beings like humans
@@TheHermiboy It's okay, it _is_ super uncomfortable. I felt a little better when Doug admitted he found it disturbing, too. Do you ever wonder how critics handle having to watch movies over their threshold, because I certainly do.
@@justyouraverageblackstar3672 If you do decide to rewatch/finish it, watch Brotherhood and not the original. Brotherhood actually follows the manga and finishes, whereas the original goes off on it's own random plot and ends with a honestly stupid movie...
This needs a recut. Take out the scenes in the convenient store and scenes with Depp. Just have Depp show up at the end to shoot the Walrus. Boom! Credits!
Not even in the guys mansion he just shows up to the zoo place or whatever it is at the end after the girl and the friend leave the fish for him and Johnny depp pulls out a double barrel shotgun and blasts him
Yeah his scenes were terrible. His acting, voice, dialogue. Dont know what they were thinking. Even Parks playing a retarded character with him is awful. It was like Depp channelled his inner Willy Wonka and wanted give the worst performance of his career. The rest of the movie is so good, what a shame those parts were even filmed
The ending just depressed the Hell outta me. I felt like the ending should've been that Wallace doesn't kill anyone, showing his humanity is still in there, and the procedure is reversed, allowing Wallace the chance to become a better person.
I was hoping the transformation would be reversed, too. however i realized that alot of the things he endured are actually irreversable. even the "start" of the transformation was permanent, there wasn't a chance wallace was gonna have that leg re-attached. and on the operating table where BOTH of his legs were cut off even BEFORE the actual walrus transformation, that shit doesnt get reversed.
@@Protag_Shilex yeah. But I feel like they could've done something to help him get even a little bit back to normal, whether it be with no legs or whatever, or put him out of his misery.
this kind of movie is ruined by happy endings. Thats something that made Saw (the first, at least) so good. One guy had to cut off his leg, the other DIED OF STARVATION and the villain gave us the biggest twist the movie could provide until the sequel with the kid in the vault. No one was happy, no damage was fixed, the essence of a Horror movie (which is NOT the same as Terror) is to shock, to disgust and, well, horrify, so the ending must also unsettle and cause certain disconfort with room for though.
So basically be another sappy happy ending? No thanks, I really don't want that generic bullshit. Not saying that it has to be depressing but I think it ended perfectly!
i showed this to my girlfriend for our "Horror Movie Night," but she only likes dumb PG-13 horror movies. everytime it's my turn to pick, she says "is this gonna be like that creepy walrus movie?"
So, I’m not one for ANY kind of horror, even super campy ones, but once we saw this reveal, I had a very unique string of emotions: First, I was laughing because of how unrealistically stupid and insane that concept is. This was likely a form of shock. Second I was getting more and more disturbed the longer I looked at the details of this abomination. Lastly, nauseating sadness. Not only did I feel bad for this guy (despite being a self-absorbed asshole), but couldn’t believe the audacity of his “friends” letting him stay like that! I mean, they couldn’t take him to a doctor?!? You wouldn’t even need a marine biologist to tell you that is NOT a natural walrus! If he can’t be healed, SHOOT HIM! Kill him! You were already having an affair behind his back and hate his guts anyway! Just end him! Yeah... I’m gonna need therapy after this...or watch cute cat videos, whatever works.
@Gabreya Bradley I couldn’t have said THAT any better myself. It’s funny, isn’t it, how a human being could comprehend a creation like this. If you’re familiar with Junji Ito then you’ll see just what kind of twisted, horrific things he’s created. But I watched an interview with him and was surprised by how nice and sweet he was. I’m not accusing Ito of being a maniac hiding behind a pleasant face, but I think he, and everyone else, have those dark terrifying thoughts in there heads. He and Smith just produce them in a “positive” way by turning them into stories or movies. But, yes, there are others who use those thoughts and make them like thus scientist or Dr. Mengele. Nice to know that even horror aficionados found this just as disturbing as I did. 😉
Oddly enough the only horror for me in these types of movies are the shitty friends. Its so realistic that it makes you want the villians to just kill everyone lmao
Yeah I didn't expect this when binging nostalgia critic. I am hugging both my dogs and I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight. I have opening shift at work tomorrow. I wish I didn't know this movie existed. On a different note my dogs are very cute and since they are border terriers my face is being bombarded by puppy kisses as it's not on for me to feel bad according to my border terriers.
Me: God that's sick. Looking at that horrifying walrus abomination makes me never want to eat another thing for the rest of my life. *This episode brought to you by Hello Fresh!*
I disagree that this movie will be an absolute hit if they had the "comedic" moments removed. I feel like it may end up as just another exploitation movie with a super disturbing imagery had Smith just kept it entirely as a body horror flick. The absolute disbelief gained from a movie where scenes of Depp attempting a weird accent and scenes of a person being surgically operated to become a human walrus coexisting together possibly would leave a stronger reaction and even a deeper mental scar on the audiences. A guy getting his head fatally twisted inside a torture machine in a SAW movie or a guy getting his head fatally squashed under Big Bird's foot in an episode of Sesame Street? Surely I'd be more interested to find the clip of the latter.
i agree with you. if youve ever seen smiths movie "Red State" its basically all horror no comedy and it gets realy boring by the end. however johnny depps scenes need to be cut entirely.
So for that costume folding in on itself bit, I could've sworn that walrus can actually pull there heads in a little to conserve body heat or something similar. But I could be wrong so will see.
Shockingly enough, this movie isn't the weirdest movie Kevin Smith has ever done. That award goes to the Halloween short in the horror movie anthology "Holidays".
I love the fact they didn't kill 'The Walrus'. There was no cop-out ending of just killing the victim, they actually had to deal with the question of what the hell do we do with this poor bastard? I'm not sure putting him in a walrus enclosure was what I would he chosen, but at least they did something that sparks more conversation than just shooting him.
"After These Messages" is my absolute favorite. Its like a holiday tradition for me now to rewatch them. 80's and 90's commercials are mesmerizingly absurd. It's a snapshot in time back before advertisers had so many metrics on their target audience that they know when their about to sneeze before they do.
That walrus expirament scene is now engrained into my brain without me even seeing the whole film or even hearing of it before this. Great. Edit: I really hope we get a real thoughts tomorrow.
The first time i saw that abomination it disturbed me to the point I had nightmares for a week, seeing that thumbnail got my skin crawling and itching all over
Man when I saw that scene where he is being basically tortured turning into a walrus I didn’t feel bad but I felt super disturbed and exetremly uncomfortably and no other movie I’ve seen has done that to me.
Yeah. I am indifferent to Kevin Smith (although I really like Dogma) but this movie man, fuck him for making it. Disturbing shit. Not quite human centipede level but quite close
My theory for the boring, stupid flashbacks is that they hoped that the dark parts would be so disturbing, they figured people would be desperate to laugh at anything.
Am I the only one a little worried for Doug's sanity because of how excited he is for the monster? XD Like Jesus, that's the freakiest shit I've EVER seen
Kevin Smith is obviously trolling the viewer the whole time, that doesn't necessarily make those scenes funny, but that's clearly what's he's going for.
It was a joke film, the entire point was to try and get something stupid filmed, finished, and actually released. Not was not a secret either, it was always that from before the film was made.

I haven't seen this movie, but from reviews I have seen, it hits me kind of hard in a weird way despite who hokey it all seems from the outside looking in. I'm not typically easy to scare, but I do overthink things a lot and on rare occasions I find certain films to be disturbing. As silly as it sounds, Tusk is one of the very few movies that, conceptually at least, I find disturbing to an extent. Why? Well to be honest, in a weird way I can almost somewhat feel the pain of what it would be like to be physically altered and debased into something less than a normally functioning human while still maintaining the full sentience a human being has. Among other disabilities, I have what is called Tardive Akathisia, and a serious case at that. Long story short, I'm in constant pain and tension through the majority of my body, especially my legs, and it causes me to have to move uncontrollably and half the time I end up flailing around my legs and sometimes my arms while my hands tend to contort, specifically my fingers. Another part of the condition involves uncontrollably moaning, groaning, and screaming, not entirely unlike what you are hearing from the protagonist in the scene where he is in the walrus suit and screaming. Luckily medication does occasionally allow some lessening of the effects of my condition, which is how I'm able to type this out, a moment that is rather rare. Outside of these moments however, I typically can't focus long enough to type out more than a few paragraphs. This is made all the worse considering I'm a writer occupationally speaking. The constant pain, unceasing tension in my body plus the factors that stem from other disabilities I struggle with in tandem with the Akathisia often make me feel as though I have very little quality of life, almost like being less than human in a weird and depressing way. The very idea of someone either becoming less human physically or (even worse in my opinion) losing their fully-developed cognitive function is a kind of living nightmare. I know I sound like I'm being overly dramatic or that I'm trying to make it sound worse than it is for me, but assure you this isn't the case. So as strange and unbelievable as it sounds, I find that I also am living a small slice of that Hell in a manner of speaking. In other words, I am the walrus...coo coo cachoo.
@Gabreya Bradley Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to read through all of that and for your response :) I brought it up in the first place because I find it interesting how something like horror or even just something that gets under a person's skin often does so because of how we as individuals can relate to or imagine ourselves in such a position and that experience can conjure a certain reaction to such concepts that make us think deeply about a lot of things as a result. I guess you could say that in such an instance, horror can sometimes cause us to broaden our scope in a way as well as spark creativity of our own, at least that's how I look at it. But I digress lol Anyway, I hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best in life :D
@Gabreya Bradley Thank you so much! :D I'm so sorry that you had to go through that kind of difficult experience but I'm so glad to hear that you have recovered well and I hope that you continue to improve and that you are able to live your life to the fullest as well. Sadly my condition has affected my life majorly, but at least that kind of situation tends to make one appreciate the little things in life. :)
No wonder it made you feel even more uneased, it was a very bad projection of what you feel on a daily basis like it was you or what you think awaits you. I must have been horrifying to endure this. Thanks for sharing with us, I didn't know about Tardive Akathisia.
... the movie didn't even disturb me it just brought about questions... lots and lots of questions. 1. How would he even survive a procedure like that 2. Where did all that extra mass come from? Enough to house all of that mans' internal organs, also to make a suit for the other guy to wear normally. 3. How did he transfer those internal organs in a working state? 4. wouldn't the shock of what you had been made into killed a normal person alone? 5. How long did he live? Like a year after? 6. Why didn't they just shoot him? 7. Why did they make this movie?
When the video showed the scene where the walrus suit is revealed, I just stared at my screen, transfixed, not showing any reaction other than terrified shock. And then I rolled it back to make sure what I was seeing and hearing was real and started laughing in disbelief
I think what makes this movie so horrific compared to other horror films is that in something like Friday the 13th, when Jason puts his machete through someones head, you at least know they are dead and that they can't possibly suffer anymore, same goes for when Jigsaw kills someone in a death trap. But Wallace's fate is so dehumanising, so utterly cruel that honestly by the end of the film, your wishing someone would put the poor bastard out of his misery. Which makes it worse when they for some reason don't!
I'm sorry how in god's name is any of those walrus scenes hilarious. These are the most terrifying disturbing concepts that exist and you think these are funny??
Well the "Humor" is honestly depending on the person. I personally found it incredibly disturbing (Tho I've sadly just gotten desensitized to a degree) UNTIL I HEARD HIM SCREAM AND SAW HIM TEAR UP! People have a sense of dark humor. But glad to see there are people disturbed by this. At least even with the boring scenes the film itself did it's purpose on being unrealistically disturbing.
His screams of trauma and agony when he wakes up after the surgery never fail to make me laugh. He's deformed and mutilated and will never be the same again haha
I don't know which one's more crazy the fact Kevin Smith directed this, having Johnny Depp and his daughter in the film or an actor having the same name as my brother
Watched this on a whim one night with my little brother and was left amazed. The ending is still one of the most haunting scenes I've ever seen. With his little ball floating
One of his bad movies. I have nothing against the actor - he was awesome, especially as James Bond - but we don't hear enough about his bad movies. Every great actor has at least one stinker on their IMDB page
@@kittylover62 He will possibly get a lot of backlash for reviewing Dragonheart considering it’s a film many people actually like and it has a bit of a following...even I think it’s pretty good
I know, right? I can handle blood and gore and yet that walrus suit scares the bajeezus out of me. It’s like something Bill Cipher would do to a person. Bill: You could use some new clothes. Here, have a walrus suit made of human skin!
@@ObaREX - yeah, just like with human centipede, I find this type of horror really bothers me... so much so that I can’t bring myself to watch either film, little clips are all I can manage.
@@sian2337 Same,, it’s all just way too horrifying, the only way i can manage is thinking about the fact that the suit is a suit and wondering about the behind the scenes of the movie
Me: I've heard a lot about this movie. Thanks Critic for finally letting me see what it's about. **The Walrus scene** Me: 🙂 .... 🙃 .... 😐.... 🤢.... 🤮....😫....💀
I remember flipping through channels and when it landed on this butt ugly/horrifying tusk monster I freaked out a little. Gotta say it’s a very unique monster and it’s refreshing
This aired on TV? Weird how TV thinks this is okay but show a pair of breasts no that's gotta be censored. Imagine if you were like a kid flipping through channels than you saw THAT eugh...
That walrus suit is masterful, it's scary upfront, but hilarious from far away. Imagine seeing that thing at the end of the shining hall, I would instantly love that movie.

I belive that in the beginning of the movie where the cut leg, i think that the cgi is purposely bad so we set are standards low, so that when we see the wallurs suit, we're more shocked
I agree, Kevin Smith is one of the last truly talented Hollywood writers. He does put a lot of thought and care into his productions, so the bad CGI at the beginning was likely him attempting a classic misdirection "red herring".
@@Dargonhuman I was thinking it was on purpose, like a cheap effect from the kid and when he arrives in Canada the kid was walking perfectly, to show a gullible character able to believe in anything
Kevin Smith is a big brain director
@@benthekingofking Honestly, I was half expecting that too. The plot twist would have been the kid faked it with Adobe After Effects trying to get his channel to go viral or something along those lines. I was pretty surprised that the kid actually did cut off his leg in the movie.
I was thinking that the kid was one of the walrus patients and that was why his leg was cut off and why we don't see his body at the funeral and that's why the video effects were so bad.
I can't get over the fact they just drop off a walrus man at an animal shelter and they take him in and even put him in a walrus habitat
like seriously, I would've asked those two why they didn't end his friend/boyfriend's suffering and call a fucking human doctor to kill him, or just do the job themselves
I mean...did the people that work at the shelter not notice anything SLIGHTLY different about this “walrus?”
SAME THAT ALWAYS ANNOYED ME
They were like
“Well it kinda.. looks like a walrus.. alright put him in”
@@loganwynn2337 I think one of the cops did suggest just giving him a mercy kill which in this situation would be the humane thing to do.
for how cheap the movie looks, this is the most disgusting, horrifying, and sad movie monster that i've seen in a long time. and its great but it hurts my brain looking at the walrus man
Seems like horror stuff works pretty well at lower budget.
Same, I didn't watch the whole movie though, I only watch the clips and It damaged my brain.
Horror Movie Tips:
1. Don't drink anything
2. Hide your black friends
Edit: Whoa! Where did all this likes come from!?
@Matthew W Jr. Hasch And in Sleepwalkers, Devil, Freddy vs Jason, The Shinning, Demon Knight, Monster Squad, IT, and Jurassic Park (not horror but still)
And don’t have sex
3. Don't run away from the killer once you've momentarily incapacitated him; kill him.
Don't split up or wander off. If something weird happens, tell the others in your family or friend group so you can ALL go & check out.
Don't take a shower
Dear god, that human walrus thing is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.
Like, dear god, the first time I saw that thing, I thought it looked more terrifying than John Carpenter’s The Thing.
I don't find it scary myself, just disgusting.
Yeah it’s stomach turning tbh. Sick, horrific and disgustingly gross. Those screams are really freaky too.
Did you notice on its back there was the skin of his human face?
@@esteemedmortal5917 yesss it was creepy af
14:43 I missed it the first time but yup, there is his face on his left "shoulder"
The design is so jarring. It’s disturbing, and saddening when you think of the character, but funny when you realize it’s just an actor in a costume
It pisses me off that they let Wallace live. That’s just cruel.

This movie is why the aliens won't contact us. Benign or malicious, no one wants to deal with a species that came up with this.
As if aliens would have similar standards to us, to them this would be just as weird and unfathomable as the most regular tame PG film
"Wait, they do WHAT to each other and then save it so they can watch it when relaxing at their homes? They find THAT entertaining? Oh, FUCK THIS!"

The Walrus monster is genuinely terrifying and hilarious. Well friggin done
I remember the first time I saw it my brain wouldn't process what I was seeing when the walrus was revealed.. It's so... Unreal.. Love the movie though Michael parks and Justin Long both kill it
It was mostly terrifying.
I had to pause the movie to process it.
It's the second most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a movie. Next to that woman from slither...you know what I mean.
I legit just paused the review to think about what the hell I just saw
You've gotta admit, Justin longs performance in that suit is absolutely amazing. I am completely enthralled and convinced this is a man turned into a walrus. I see no actor behind it. Just the walrus. Also considering the shit he apparently had to go through in that suit. He could barely move and it was I humanly hot.
when I read "He could barely move and it was I humanly hot" I thought you meant hot as in, well, I thought you were saying you got hard by seeing a man tortured into a walrus.
@@robonator2945 The worst thing is, among 8 billions of us, there is probably someone out there that has, is, or will get hard by exactly that...
This looks and sounds like the origins of a Batman villain.
There is a villain similar to this. The Walrus
The tusk. Sounds legit.
his action though reminded me more to Dr. Pyg
Considering that NC's jacket in this video gave me Tommy Lee Jones Harvey Dent vibes (but better-looking), I am not surprised.
Yeah like Penguins are scary
I have a dark sense of humor, and laugh at things that are probably considered crazy, but laughing at that guy as a walrus screaming bloody murder, yeah, just no
I personally think that Doug's seen so many horrifying/awful movies that it's warped the way he views shit like that
Yeah I was pretty confused at him calling it hilarious. I just thought “umm critic, are you doing alright?”
Nah I found it pretty funny. It’s like Freddy Got Fingered. It’s so awful that you have no choice but to laugh
Lol

@@crazyroundman7049 perfect for a horror comedy
@@crazyroundman7049 Kinda like some of Freddy's kills. Disturbing yet strangely funny at the same time.
It's both "fucking horrible" and so ridiculous that he's been turned into a Walrus as much as possible that he can't talk, it's hard not to laugh, while being shocked and disturbed by the body horror.
My brains trying to gaslight me into thinking it's funny but ai refuse that it was at all funny and just down right disturbing
holy.....honestly the walrus human hybrid is even scarier than any other horror monster iv seen and the whole happy music when its revealed is unsettling and adds to the horror even more.
I mean, what else did that guy put on his body to turn him into a walrus?
Than a human penguin
That scene unnerved me I’m actually frightened after watching it
King of the Hill episode intensifies
Yea it was really well done and believable
I feel very vindicated that other people were actually disturbed by this movie as well.
I'm so sorry everyone. Let's all rock back and forth and try to forget it together.
So this movie. Ive only seen clips...witch was alwful. Please convince me not to watch this
once in a while Critic will do a movie that makes my eyes want to be sick just from the few clips he shows
thank you but no, I'm just gonna slam my head on the wall multiple times

I didn't even watch the movie and I feel disturb. I just read the summary of wiki and headed on the opposite direction.
No movie has actually made me feel kind of nauseous just looking at the walrus suit....
I feel like imma throw up too
That's kevin Smith for you
Oh, thank god I'm not the only one. I saw this and my heart legit stoopped beating for a few seconds. I can see the hilarity I guess, but to me this was plain and simple DISGUSTING. It legit gave me nightmares the first time I saw it. I didn't even finish the review once I saw the Walrus design.
I felt pretty sick, until Justin Long Walrus started rolling his eyes. It almost became more like a comedy for a bit - then I felt sick again.
@Gabreya Bradley I feel the same way.
"You don't want the gun? What kind of American are you?!?" Now THAT is a perfect joke!
"you dont want a gun? what kind of american are you?"
the only good line from Depp in this movie
The walrus is so disturbing , I want to purge it from my mind
"Ah, A24. When Blumhouse says 'That shit's too crazy even for us!'" Must have been how the conversation went when Hazbin Hotel got greenlit.

I was so exited when I heard the hazbin hotel news, I did a dance.

@The Eyes Of A True Demon if that is true (which I doubt) idk why they would get rid of Cherri for being “too graphic” when Angel Dust is a drug addicted prostitute, Alastor is a serial killer, and the setting of the show is literally in Hell. There’s going to be some unsavory people down there who have done horrible things in their life and afterlife.

Howard wanted Wallace to kill him so he could join his walrus friend in heaven. The walrus spent its last hours helping a stranded man, so it went to heaven. Howard spent his last days turning a man into a walrus against his will, so he went to hell. Howard will never be reunited with his walrus friend.
In all seriousness though, that walrus suit is one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. When I first saw it, it haunted my nightmares, but after seeing it a few more times, I accept it as the genius work of art that it is.
Yeah, for me it wasn’t scary but it was scarring
Christianity teaches that all animals go to hell.
@@lapsijahti the fuck? That’s dumb as fuck. Even for a religion..
@@lapsijahti If that's true, then the man really did reunite with the walrus
@@lapsijahti no it doesnt the fuck???
I could've gone my entire life without knowing about this.
Also, is the implication that the numerous others who were turned into walruses drowned?
And they left the guy as a walrus?
No doctors trying to bring him back to something close to normal?
A few things
1) There were other numbers off that list in the bathroom taken so who knows how many people became walruses.
2) I'm in no way a doctor so I don't know if they could bring him back as a human.
3) Even if he stayed a walrus, we have different body systems so theoretically wouldn't he be dead? Like yeah he's a walrus but he's still dead.
4) I feel bad for any kid that went to that zoo and witnessed him.
Well it's still a horror film, and it would've been unrealistic to seriously think that Justin Long's character was the only person that this crazy asshole ever tried to turn into a walrus, and somehow got what he wanted on the first shot. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at how many more people died as he tried to turn them into walruses, before he perfected the procedure to do it.
As for why they left him like that? Well, I'm not a doctor either, but I did hear that usually whenever you get say an arm or something cut off, you usually have to keep the detached body part on ice, and get surgery asap to get it reattached before the detached body part goes dead from the lack of blood flow into it. Once that happens, then you're basically fucked. From what I can remember from the movie, they never exactly explain how much time passed after his limbs and various other body parts were removed, in order for him to be turned into a walrus, so chances are he's probably screwed.
Plus, it's never established in the film that anyone else but that crazy guy knew how to turn people into walruses, so it's highly unlikely anyone would know how to change him back either.
Even if they could turn him back to at least looking human again, the problem is he doesn't have a tongue anymore, and given everything I've already said, and the fact that it's never explained what happened to his body parts that were removed, as the crazy guy could've disposed of said parts while he was unconscious, so chances are even if he was turned to look human again he'd still be a tongue less person with no limbs at all, so he'd virtually be helpless with no way to communicate with the world unless he learns how to write shit with his mouth.
And finally, I think having him turn back completely as though it never happened like you seem to want it to have happened would've ruined the ending honestly. Part of the reason why he was crying at the end was because he took life granted. Always looking down on others, and thinking he was on top of the world, but now that everything he's known is taken away from him, and knowing he'll have to live the rest of his life as animal makes him realize how much he misses his own humanity. And how even though he's now more animal than man now, there's still humanity left in him. That was the point of the ending, so I don't think a happy ending would've worked for this film.
@Gabreya Bradley that's assuming he has money and a viable health coverage. Most doctors won't perform that extensive amount of surgery on a person if they don't have both. Sure sometimes you might have some doctors might do it probono but that's not a sure thing.
Plus since it seemed like in the movie itself nobody else knew how to do the surgery that crazy guy did to Long's character, it's safe to assume they'd have to contact a specialist or two to revert him back to normal if that was even possible and Lord knows that will not only be expensive but hard to get a hold of said specialists especially if he doesn't have the money and good health insurance
He has no arms, legs, or tongue, how could they returned him to "normal"? The Johnny Depp character was the only one with the right ides of just killing him to release him from that horror.
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 I think considering the circumstances there’d be plenty of people willing to help him, a person being turned into a walrus by a madman would make headlines and I’m sure some doctor would do the work for free or for a very reduced cost
I'm not someone that gets scared easily but holy shit the walrus design almost made me throw up on my friend the first time I watched it.

This movie is almost as batshit crazy as Sorry to Bother You.
I'm still baffled by the direction they took with Sorry to Bother You. NOBODY saw that crazy shit coming. It was such a jarring and unexpected change that it almost ruined the whole movie for me.
Oh god
"Sorry to bother you" was awesome.
Great you made me look it up
I don’t wanna look that up, what’s it about?
*~“The time has come.” the walrus said~*
This is a movie that actually made me look away and I’ve seen The Thing, Braindead, Alien and the Freddy, Jason and Pinhead sagas without turning my head.
Despite the fact that this is listed as a comedy horror I can barley look at that walrus Buffalo Bill suit. The idea of being stitched inside a costume made of human skin and then being mentally tortured into a feral state frightens me far more than any gorefest could.
Yeah, just seeing that thing in this video makes me consider going to church again.
Bro I have the exact same feeling when I saw this shit. I hate to admit it but this movie traumatized me. It's kind of uncomfortable
This movie disturbed the hell out of me.
It is because you have both the body horror and mental horror. One alome can be terrifying, but both together when done well chill us to our core.
To lose your body and mind to a feral state is the ultimate fear of higher thinking beings like humans
@@TheHermiboy It's okay, it _is_ super uncomfortable. I felt a little better when Doug admitted he found it disturbing, too. Do you ever wonder how critics handle having to watch movies over their threshold, because I certainly do.

This needs a recut. Take out the scenes in the convenient store and scenes with Depp. Just have Depp show up at the end to shoot the Walrus. Boom! Credits!
Not even in the guys mansion he just shows up to the zoo place or whatever it is at the end after the girl and the friend leave the fish for him and Johnny depp pulls out a double barrel shotgun and blasts him
It was too long a lot of it dragged on
Yeah his scenes were terrible. His acting, voice, dialogue. Dont know what they were thinking. Even Parks playing a retarded character with him is awful. It was like Depp channelled his inner Willy Wonka and wanted give the worst performance of his career. The rest of the movie is so good, what a shame those parts were even filmed
I love Johnny Depp but yeah, we didnt need a long second plot
This movie terrified me back in ninth grade, I legit had nightmares about the walrus suit. It’s why I have very mixed feelings towards walruses.
Walruses have very mixed feelings about you
Yeah lmao I can’t look at walruses the same way
Yeah, I developed a new fear of walruses after this movie
i wish i was in 9th grade when this came out...
Hoarker's from Skyrim already put me off Walruses but this movie just solidifed my dislike..
The Critic: it’s hard to look at, yet you can’t possibly look away!
Me: Yeah? Watch me
I said the same thing
. . . He can't . . . He's still looking at the walrus
They say they’re still trying to look away.. they’ll never.. never..
The ending just depressed the Hell outta me.
I felt like the ending should've been that Wallace doesn't kill anyone, showing his humanity is still in there, and the procedure is reversed, allowing Wallace the chance to become a better person.
I don't you can reverse tusk implants, arm paralysis, tongue and leg amputations. But they could take the suit off and get him psychiatric help.
I was hoping the transformation would be reversed, too.
however i realized that alot of the things he endured are actually irreversable. even the "start" of the transformation was permanent, there wasn't a chance wallace was gonna have that leg re-attached.
and on the operating table where BOTH of his legs were cut off even BEFORE the actual walrus transformation, that shit doesnt get reversed.
@@Protag_Shilex yeah. But I feel like they could've done something to help him get even a little bit back to normal, whether it be with no legs or whatever, or put him out of his misery.
this kind of movie is ruined by happy endings. Thats something that made Saw (the first, at least) so good. One guy had to cut off his leg, the other DIED OF STARVATION and the villain gave us the biggest twist the movie could provide until the sequel with the kid in the vault. No one was happy, no damage was fixed, the essence of a Horror movie (which is NOT the same as Terror) is to shock, to disgust and, well, horrify, so the ending must also unsettle and cause certain disconfort with room for though.
So basically be another sappy happy ending? No thanks, I really don't want that generic bullshit. Not saying that it has to be depressing but I think it ended perfectly!

@George Davis From Reading The Plot Summary I Don't Think It Would Scare Me I Think I Would Laugh My Ass Off
I took my girlfriend to see this in theaters. She broke up with me when the credits rolled.
F
You're lucky she waited until the credits.
Ouch. Sorry.
She probably thought she was dating a serial killer in the making lol
i showed this to my girlfriend for our "Horror Movie Night," but she only likes dumb PG-13 horror movies. everytime it's my turn to pick, she says "is this gonna be like that creepy walrus movie?"
So, I’m not one for ANY kind of horror, even super campy ones, but once we saw this reveal, I had a very unique string of emotions:
First, I was laughing because of how unrealistically stupid and insane that concept is. This was likely a form of shock.
Second I was getting more and more disturbed the longer I looked at the details of this abomination.
Lastly, nauseating sadness. Not only did I feel bad for this guy (despite being a self-absorbed asshole), but couldn’t believe the audacity of his “friends” letting him stay like that! I mean, they couldn’t take him to a doctor?!? You wouldn’t even need a marine biologist to tell you that is NOT a natural walrus! If he can’t be healed, SHOOT HIM! Kill him! You were already having an affair behind his back and hate his guts anyway! Just end him!
Yeah... I’m gonna need therapy after this...or watch cute cat videos, whatever works.
@Gabreya Bradley I couldn’t have said THAT any better myself. It’s funny, isn’t it, how a human being could comprehend a creation like this. If you’re familiar with Junji Ito then you’ll see just what kind of twisted, horrific things he’s created. But I watched an interview with him and was surprised by how nice and sweet he was. I’m not accusing Ito of being a maniac hiding behind a pleasant face, but I think he, and everyone else, have those dark terrifying thoughts in there heads. He and Smith just produce them in a “positive” way by turning them into stories or movies. But, yes, there are others who use those thoughts and make them like thus scientist or Dr. Mengele.
Nice to know that even horror aficionados found this just as disturbing as I did. 😉
Yea I just wish they took him to a fucking doctor
Oddly enough the only horror for me in these types of movies are the shitty friends. Its so realistic that it makes you want the villians to just kill everyone lmao
Yeah I didn't expect this when binging nostalgia critic. I am hugging both my dogs and I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight. I have opening shift at work tomorrow. I wish I didn't know this movie existed.
On a different note my dogs are very cute and since they are border terriers my face is being bombarded by puppy kisses as it's not on for me to feel bad according to my border terriers.
Ah cat videos! I see you are a man/woman of culture! Bravo.

I watched Tusk without knowing nothing about it, and when it ended my only reaction was 'What the hell did I just watch?'
Same here 😰😭
Kindaween should be the thing after nostalgiaween every year.
I disagree that this movie will be an absolute hit if they had the "comedic" moments removed. I feel like it may end up as just another exploitation movie with a super disturbing imagery had Smith just kept it entirely as a body horror flick. The absolute disbelief gained from a movie where scenes of Depp attempting a weird accent and scenes of a person being surgically operated to become a human walrus coexisting together possibly would leave a stronger reaction and even a deeper mental scar on the audiences. A guy getting his head fatally twisted inside a torture machine in a SAW movie or a guy getting his head fatally squashed under Big Bird's foot in an episode of Sesame Street? Surely I'd be more interested to find the clip of the latter.
i agree with you. if youve ever seen smiths movie "Red State" its basically all horror no comedy and it gets realy boring by the end. however johnny depps scenes need to be cut entirely.
exploitation movie? exploiting what, walruses?
Honestly I'd just watch a movie of the two actors talking
Well, there’s a side of Kevin Smith I never thought I’d see. And I wish I hadn’t.
You should watch Red State
So for that costume folding in on itself bit, I could've sworn that walrus can actually pull there heads in a little to conserve body heat or something similar. But I could be wrong so will see.
That's what I thought. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all pinnipeds can do that (seals, walruses, and sea lions).
Shockingly enough, this movie isn't the weirdest movie Kevin Smith has ever done.
That award goes to the Halloween short in the horror movie anthology "Holidays".
ooooh no
no no no no no no no

I think yoga hosers beat that with the Nazi weenies
... why did you have to remind me of that film?
He made one about a clown that got raped prison style and became famous because of it.
This is the one with jesus bunny?
I love the fact they didn't kill 'The Walrus'. There was no cop-out ending of just killing the victim, they actually had to deal with the question of what the hell do we do with this poor bastard? I'm not sure putting him in a walrus enclosure was what I would he chosen, but at least they did something that sparks more conversation than just shooting him.
"After These Messages" is my absolute favorite. Its like a holiday tradition for me now to rewatch them. 80's and 90's commercials are mesmerizingly absurd. It's a snapshot in time back before advertisers had so many metrics on their target audience that they know when their about to sneeze before they do.
That walrus expirament scene is now engrained into my brain without me even seeing the whole film or even hearing of it before this.
Great.
Edit: I really hope we get a real thoughts tomorrow.
Same. Fuck me.
Any real thoughts yet?
Well on the bright side I don’t think I’ll be having any with trouble with the rest of No Nut November.
The first time i saw that abomination it disturbed me to the point I had nightmares for a week, seeing that thumbnail got my skin crawling and itching all over
Man when I saw that scene where he is being basically tortured turning into a walrus I didn’t feel bad but I felt super disturbed and exetremly uncomfortably and no other movie I’ve seen has done that to me.
I can never fight the Skyrim walrus’s the same way again
This movie disturbed me. Not so much that I couldn’t sleep, but more so that I couldn’t eat for a while.
Yeah. I am indifferent to Kevin Smith (although I really like Dogma) but this movie man, fuck him for making it.
Disturbing shit. Not quite human centipede level but quite close
Wasn't expecting the jacket to be half and half.
My theory for the boring, stupid flashbacks is that they hoped that the dark parts would be so disturbing, they figured people would be desperate to laugh at anything.
It’s like having planes be the B plot to human centipede
Am I the only one a little worried for Doug's sanity because of how excited he is for the monster? XD Like Jesus, that's the freakiest shit I've EVER seen
That monster is gonna haunt my nightmares
Kevin Smith is obviously trolling the viewer the whole time, that doesn't necessarily make those scenes funny, but that's clearly what's he's going for.
It was a joke film, the entire point was to try and get something stupid filmed, finished, and actually released. Not was not a secret either, it was always that from before the film was made.

Scary Godmother 2: revenge of jimmy
I haven't seen this movie, but from reviews I have seen, it hits me kind of hard in a weird way despite who hokey it all seems from the outside looking in. I'm not typically easy to scare, but I do overthink things a lot and on rare occasions I find certain films to be disturbing.
As silly as it sounds, Tusk is one of the very few movies that, conceptually at least, I find disturbing to an extent. Why? Well to be honest, in a weird way I can almost somewhat feel the pain of what it would be like to be physically altered and debased into something less than a normally functioning human while still maintaining the full sentience a human being has.
Among other disabilities, I have what is called Tardive Akathisia, and a serious case at that. Long story short, I'm in constant pain and tension through the majority of my body, especially my legs, and it causes me to have to move uncontrollably and half the time I end up flailing around my legs and sometimes my arms while my hands tend to contort, specifically my fingers.
Another part of the condition involves uncontrollably moaning, groaning, and screaming, not entirely unlike what you are hearing from the protagonist in the scene where he is in the walrus suit and screaming. Luckily medication does occasionally allow some lessening of the effects of my condition, which is how I'm able to type this out, a moment that is rather rare.
Outside of these moments however, I typically can't focus long enough to type out more than a few paragraphs. This is made all the worse considering I'm a writer occupationally speaking. The constant pain, unceasing tension in my body plus the factors that stem from other disabilities I struggle with in tandem with the Akathisia often make me feel as though I have very little quality of life, almost like being less than human in a weird and depressing way.
The very idea of someone either becoming less human physically or (even worse in my opinion) losing their fully-developed cognitive function is a kind of living nightmare. I know I sound like I'm being overly dramatic or that I'm trying to make it sound worse than it is for me, but assure you this isn't the case. So as strange and unbelievable as it sounds, I find that I also am living a small slice of that Hell in a manner of speaking. In other words, I am the walrus...coo coo cachoo.
@Gabreya Bradley Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to read through all of that and for your response :) I brought it up in the first place because I find it interesting how something like horror or even just something that gets under a person's skin often does so because of how we as individuals can relate to or imagine ourselves in such a position and that experience can conjure a certain reaction to such concepts that make us think deeply about a lot of things as a result. I guess you could say that in such an instance, horror can sometimes cause us to broaden our scope in a way as well as spark creativity of our own, at least that's how I look at it. But I digress lol Anyway, I hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best in life :D
😢
@Gabreya Bradley Thank you so much! :D I'm so sorry that you had to go through that kind of difficult experience but I'm so glad to hear that you have recovered well and I hope that you continue to improve and that you are able to live your life to the fullest as well. Sadly my condition has affected my life majorly, but at least that kind of situation tends to make one appreciate the little things in life. :)
What meds do you take?
No wonder it made you feel even more uneased, it was a very bad projection of what you feel on a daily basis like it was you or what you think awaits you. I must have been horrifying to endure this. Thanks for sharing with us, I didn't know about Tardive Akathisia.
Nostalgia critic: "After these messages"
Me: Oh my God, Yeees! More commercials!
I could have went my entire life without knowing this movie exists and I would be happy.
I’m usually into bad movies. This was....something.
I only know about the existence of this movie because Jeremy Jahns reviewed it.
Honestly, it has nothing on the Human Centipede. And the Human Centapede has nothing on the dark parts of the 40k universe
... the movie didn't even disturb me it just brought about questions... lots and lots of questions. 1. How would he even survive a procedure like that 2. Where did all that extra mass come from? Enough to house all of that mans' internal organs, also to make a suit for the other guy to wear normally. 3. How did he transfer those internal organs in a working state?
4. wouldn't the shock of what you had been made into killed a normal person alone?
5. How long did he live? Like a year after?
6. Why didn't they just shoot him?
7. Why did they make this movie?
@@Kazeromaru The more you think about it the less I want to know, but yet I’ve thought way too much about it
When the video showed the scene where the walrus suit is revealed, I just stared at my screen, transfixed, not showing any reaction other than terrified shock.
And then I rolled it back to make sure what I was seeing and hearing was real and started laughing in disbelief
I think what makes this movie so horrific compared to other horror films is that in something like Friday the 13th, when Jason puts his machete through someones head, you at least know they are dead and that they can't possibly suffer anymore, same goes for when Jigsaw kills someone in a death trap.
But Wallace's fate is so dehumanising, so utterly cruel that honestly by the end of the film, your wishing someone would put the poor bastard out of his misery.
Which makes it worse when they for some reason don't!
He said "better to be a walrus" so sincerely, I almost choked on my drink.
I'm sorry how in god's name is any of those walrus scenes hilarious. These are the most terrifying disturbing concepts that exist and you think these are funny??
Really? I was laughing my ass off at this whole thing?
Well the "Humor" is honestly depending on the person. I personally found it incredibly disturbing (Tho I've sadly just gotten desensitized to a degree) UNTIL I HEARD HIM SCREAM AND SAW HIM TEAR UP!
People have a sense of dark humor. But glad to see there are people disturbed by this. At least even with the boring scenes the film itself did it's purpose on being unrealistically disturbing.
His screams of trauma and agony when he wakes up after the surgery never fail to make me laugh.
He's deformed and mutilated and will never be the same again haha
I don't know which one's more crazy the fact Kevin Smith directed this, having Johnny Depp and his daughter in the film or an actor having the same name as my brother
Let's call it even and say that all three make for a whack-ass experience. 😆
This scarred my life when I was young.
It still does.
I don't want to see that thing again.
And yet here you are. LOL
When u were young? Isn’t this film only 5 years old?
@@ReelNinja1 I guess he was young five years ago then.
Watched this on a whim one night with my little brother and was left amazed. The ending is still one of the most haunting scenes I've ever seen. With his little ball floating
Isn't Nostalgiaween in November technically...Nostalgiagiving?
Well, the next one is a commercial special, so that is worthy of thanksgiving...
In honour of Seán Connery, you should review one of his best movies.
One of his bad movies. I have nothing against the actor - he was awesome, especially as James Bond - but we don't hear enough about his bad movies. Every great actor has at least one stinker on their IMDB page
Yes please!
@@kittylover62 He will possibly get a lot of backlash for reviewing Dragonheart considering it’s a film many people actually like and it has a bit of a following...even I think it’s pretty good
Lucy Herrick Well, he already reviewed League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the Avengers. What other stinkers has Sean Connery been in?
@@JonnyLikesGames87 His greatest movie of all time. Zardoz.
Next NostalgiaWeen should be:
- Scooby Doo and the Witche's Ghost
- Scream
- ReAnimator
- Repo The Genetic Opera
I would adore his look at repo.
@@DarkVideogamer yes please.
This movie is terrifying.
I know, right? I can handle blood and gore and yet that walrus suit scares the bajeezus out of me. It’s like something Bill Cipher would do to a person.
Bill: You could use some new clothes. Here, have a walrus suit made of human skin!
Agreed. It was traumatic, just seeing Jason Long as a human walrus made of human skin.
Justin Long loved doing this movie.
Yup I am not sleeping tonight. or ever again. Thanks NC
No the FUCK it's not! Foodfight is a better movie than this!
That suit is horrifying.
Just imagining being trapped in that suit freaks me out.
@@ObaREX - yeah, just like with human centipede, I find this type of horror really bothers me... so much so that I can’t bring myself to watch either film, little clips are all I can manage.
@@sian2337 Same,, it’s all just way too horrifying, the only way i can manage is thinking about the fact that the suit is a suit and wondering about the behind the scenes of the movie
Me: I've heard a lot about this movie. Thanks Critic for finally letting me see what it's about.
**The Walrus scene**
Me: 🙂 .... 🙃 .... 😐.... 🤢.... 🤮....😫....💀
I remember flipping through channels and when it landed on this butt ugly/horrifying tusk monster I freaked out a little. Gotta say it’s a very unique monster and it’s refreshing
This aired on TV?
Weird how TV thinks this is okay but show a pair of breasts no that's gotta be censored.
Imagine if you were like a kid flipping through channels than you saw THAT eugh...
There better be a "first impressions" with Rob and Doug for this...
I think there might be, in an episode of 'Brad ruins Rob's day' recently he said Doug has made him watch Tusk earlier in the day. So fingers crossed!
Hey, guess what?
A post of doubt remains whence the question not needed asked but answered. Do I sense a heretic among us?
(tl;dr yeah, duh)
... I remember when Nostalgia Critic did Nostalgic Things that he saw before way back in the day.
That said ...
MORE COMMERCIALS!
Michael Parks is SO underappreciated. He was one of the best actors of the last 40 years and this performance is just more proof. R I P.
Me: *Sees Thumbnail*
Also me: Doug are you okay?
Justin Long looks like the 90’s became a person.
I loved how Justin went from talking chipmunk to a disturbed bodied horror walrus
I feel sorry for the people who keep saying “first” every time they open up the comments. How bout “LAST!”
Don’t feel sorry for them feel bad for the people that have to read it
Heck yeah
It harder to be first than they imagine
@@afib4968 good point
That's still a thing?
That walrus suit is masterful, it's scary upfront, but hilarious from far away. Imagine seeing that thing at the end of the shining hall, I would instantly love that movie.
nostalgia critic: says on how he was trying to find a movie that's kinda funny, kinda bad,kinda horror, kinda comedy, etc
me: *gremlins*
That should be reserved for his Christmas set.
Nah that would be Nostalgic. We don't do that anymore, he's now the "I just watched this amazing movie, let me talk about it" Critic.
A24: "Don't worry, our fans will never leave the theater no matter how boring it gets."
Last day of Nostalgia-Ween!
Wasn't "Scary stories to tell in the dark" the last day?
you mean kinda-ween
Yeah, sucks that it's already over. 😔
Unless of course he decides to get creepy for Christmas this year. 😏
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose we'll there's 11 months until next nostalgia-ween.
This film almost feels like a horrifying version of the novel The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells? I could be wrong though!
