URGENT UPDATE: The horror film Tusk, directed by Kevin Smith, is now streaming for free on Pluto TV. Released in 2014, this chilling tale is quickly gaining attention for its disturbing content, reminiscent of notorious films like The Human Centipede.
In Tusk, audiences are thrust into a nightmarish scenario as podcaster Justin Long is kidnapped and subjected to a grotesque transformation by a deranged man played by Michael Parks. This film marks a significant departure for Smith, who is known for more comedic works like Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
The film, which features a shocking appearance by Johnny Depp as a detective, has captivated audiences despite its 45% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics describe it as “pleasantly ridiculous” but criticize its “thin, overstretched story.” Nonetheless, it has become a cult favorite, especially among horror enthusiasts seeking extreme narratives.
While Tusk struggled at the box office, grossing only $2 million against a budget of $3 million, its availability on Pluto TV may introduce it to a wider audience eager for horror that pushes boundaries. This film is part of a wave of gruesome cinema that emerged in the 2000s, influencing a generation of filmmakers and shocking viewers worldwide.
For horror fans looking for something that challenges the norm, Tusk is a must-watch. Its themes of identity and transformation resonate deeply, making it more than just a grotesque spectacle.
