It seems as though TikTok has finally discovered one of Hollywood's most disturbing movies... And yeah, funnily enough, it actually does involve Justin Long dressed up as a walrus.
For those of you that have watched Tusk, it's one of those films that raise questions about the mindset of the creator.
What on earth can someone be thinking in order to come up with an idea like this? But for a more savory report, the 2014 horror-comedy tells the story of a "brash and arrogant podcaster [who] gets more than he bargained for when he travels to Canada to interview a mysterious recluse... who has a rather disturbing fondness for walruses."
A "fondness" is a pretty nice way of putting it.
The podcaster-turned-faux-walrus is played by 44-year-old Justin Long, who seems to take on the role with the right level of drive and angst and also stars other notable figures such as Michael Parks and Haley Joel Osment.
Watch the trailer for Tusk below (if you dare):Despite it coming out almost a decade ago, it seems as though some people are only just stumbling across it now after a TikToker decided to talk about it during a compilation of the most "insane" horror movies she's ever watched.
Heidi Wong told her 4.4 million TikTok followers that the following three movies were simply "unhinged."
First on her list was 2012 horror Excision, which tells the story of "a disturbed, delusional high-school student with aspirations of a career in medicine, who goes to extremes to earn the approval of her controlling mother."
This was followed by 2018's Possum, a psychological horror directed by Matthew Holness which follows "a disgraced children's puppeteer who is forced to confront his wicked stepfather and the secrets that have tortured his entire life."
Last - and definitely the worst - was Tusk.
"Out of all the horror movies that I’ve seen, this one gets to me the most," Wong stated. "Tusk is about a podcaster who meets a crazy man who wants to turn him into a walrus – as in surgically turn him from a human to a walrus."
"This movie was worse than Human Centipede to me," she added.
Social media users took to the comments to convey their disgust after watching the harrowing tale, with many branding it as "unforgettable."
"Tusk freaked me out [too], actually to this day," wrote one user.
"Tusk is simply unforgettable," another added.
"I ate baked beans while watching tusk. I can’t even think about eating baked beans without squirming," a third recalled.
If you're looking to do something traumatic tonight, I'd highly recommend giving it a watch, but if you value your sanity, stay clear of it.
You've been warned...
