UPDATE: The cult horror film Tusk, directed by Kevin Smith, is now available for free streaming in the United States, just announced by the platform Pluto TV. This 101-minute horror flick, known for its shocking content, follows a podcaster who faces a terrifying ordeal after being kidnapped by a deranged man in Canada.
Released on September 6, 2014, Tusk has garnered a reputation for its extreme narrative, placing it alongside notorious films like The Human Centipede. Featuring Justin Long as the unfortunate podcaster and Michael Parks as his captor, the movie dives into a gruesome world that has captivated and horrified audiences alike.
The film made waves for its unique premise, showcasing a blend of horror and dark comedy that challenges conventional storytelling. Despite its $2 million box office gross against a reported budget of $3 million, Tusk has developed a strong following, especially among horror enthusiasts looking for the next shocking experience.
Critics have mixed opinions, with Rotten Tomatoes reporting a score of 45%, emphasizing its “pleasantly ridiculous” charm despite a “thin, overstretched story.” The film also features a surprising cameo from Johnny Depp, adding to its allure and intrigue.
This release is particularly significant as many horror films with similar shock value have limited availability. Fans can now easily access Tusk on Pluto TV and experience its unsettling narrative first-hand.
As the horror genre continues to evolve, Tusk stands out as a bold statement from Kevin Smith, who has shifted his storytelling approach since his earlier successes like Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
