Much like Yoga Hosers, Tusk seems to exist solely because nobody told Kevin Smith it couldn't. It's based on a ludicrous idea, which actually sounds like a prank that wasn't nipped in the bud when it first came up: why else would anyone make a film about a man obsessed with transforming another man into a walrus?

You can't really knock Smith for pursuing originality, or indeed for the uniqueness of the project, but not everything fresh and new necessarily deserves to exist. As a curio, it's worth watching - much like Circus Sideshows had their audiences back when such things were de rigueur - but it's an almost provocatively difficult thing to watch, and an even harder one to appreciate.

Even those who appreciated the experience of watching - or at least the novelty of that experience - would probably be quick to acknowledge that it's something they'd probably wish they could wipe from their memory banks.
