Epic card · No. 10748

Tusk is a 2014 American independent black comedy body horror film written and directed by Kevin Smith, based on a story from his SModcast podcast. The film stars Michael Parks, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment and Genesis Rodriguez. The film is the first in Smith's planned True North trilogy, followed by Yoga Hosers (2016). The film deals with a narcissistic podcaster (Long) who travels to Canada for an interview, and in the process, meets an eccentric retired sailor (Parks) with dark plans related to his obsession with a walrus named Mr. Tusk. Tusk had its world premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, before it was released by A24 on September 19, 2014, and it received mixed reviews. The film was Smith's first major wide release since Cop Out (2010), and has since become a minor cult film.
