Intense Clip from Kevin Smith's TUSK - "I Don't Want to Die in Canada"
The first clip for Kevin Smith's horror film Tusk has been released, and it features an extremely terrified Justin Long. He has been kidnapped by Michael Parks, who wants to turn Long into a bloody walrus. It looks and sounds like this guy is in for the most insane nightmare ever. This is sure to be a very disturbing movie, and I'm always up for watching a disturbing movie.
Wallace (Justin Long) co-hosts a popular podcast with his pal Teddy (Haley Joel Osment), focusing on cruel, mocking cringe humour as part of their mission to keep it “real and raunchy.” After his trip to Winnipeg to interview the “Kill Bill Kid” — a teen whose unfortunate samurai-sword video has gone viral — comes up empty, Wallace decides to make the trip worth his while and find a good story north of the forty-ninth parallel. A handwritten flyer he finds in a bar bathroom leads him to a grizzled old swab (Michael Parks) full of tall tales to share from his life of adventure at sea — and this is where Wallace’s voyage to the Great White North descends into straight-up madness.
Be warned: even as it deftly delivers on its outlandish and outrageous concept, the film is also aboot how Americans view Canada — so check your patriotic fervour at the door and prepare for a barrage of Canuck jokes and a steaming-hot double-double of strange.
Enjoy the clip!
