Reviews for this film from our members:
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Comedia de horror con la que Kevin Smith arranca su trilogía True North. Bien dirigida y conscientemente cutre en ocasiones, podría/debería haber echado el freno en general para evitar el ridículo de determinados pasajes. Caótica, interesante, raramente clasificable.
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: I admire Smith’s gumption; he commits to this bad idea, and goes all the way with it. But in spite of its horror inclinations, ‘Tusk’ is ultimately a joke with a promising setup and a groan-worthy punchline.
- William Bibbiani @ CraveOnline
- Excerpt: Congratulations, Kevin Smith. You just killed irony.
- Patrick Bromley @ F This Movie!
- Joshua Brunsting @ The CriterionCast
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …while [Smith’s] newest features some wacked concepts, batty performances and a ton of Canadian jokes but…it’s all a bit of a wank.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: Ed Wood has been vindicated, once and for all. Wood made horror movies that were so bad they were unintentionally funny, which is actually more entertaining than “Tusk,” an intended horror comedy that’s neither funny nor frightening.
- Billy Donnelly @ This Is Infamous
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: For everyone who isn’t in on the joke, the movie an incomprehensible oddity.
- James Jay Edwards @ iHorror.com
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: With his latest post-retirement project, ‘Tusk,’ writer/director Kevin Smith tests the value of ideas conceived when one is high with mixed results.
- Mark Harris @ About.com
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Tusk is a derivative project that should remain as a downloadable podcast. Eccentricity does not automatically equal quality.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Love it or hate it, “Tusk” delivers on its promise and certainly shocks. From its bizarro premise alone, the film has a must-see, “am-I-really-seeing-what-I’m-seeing?” quality about it.

- [New – 7/2/15] | Nuno Reis @ SciFiWorld Portugal [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Com esta reinvenção do terror que recordará alguns filmes de culto que foram censurados e proibidos, Smith prova que qualquer ideia louca pode dar origem a um argumento arriscado. E por mais disparatado que seja avançar com tal projecto, quando se tem os actores e se acredita na ideia, um grande realizador consegue fazer um grande filme.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Plays like a movie made on a dare.
