lol i definitely like this idea very much lpl
A film by Kevin Smith featuring Johnny Depp
Do Free Birds for Thanksgiving
I feel ya man, Halloween just went by too fast.
I'm surprised nobody is mentioning that the tusks are actually implied to be made out of his amputated legs. He has his own bones as his tusks.
+Maultest Are you serious?! That makes it even worse! 😖
Just what I needed to hear today...
@@mimisadventure9416 well some behind the scenes facts they are just attached to the prosthetic makeup using magnets.
@@oldwarriorproductions8411 thank god they didn't really cut his legs off
@@lapsijahti as if they would really do that 🤣🤣
They should make a movie called “Long” where a crazy animal expert turns a walrus into Justin Long.
@Camyboy 10833 Ide I could actually see that actually being terrifying
That would be genuinely terrifying, and the walrus should be named "Brandon?" (question mark intended)
I’d watch that
Please
@Camyboy 10833 Ide its been make the movie is ssss 1973 movie
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see any hilarity in the design of the walrus? Everything about it is so uncomfortable, from the stitches between the patches of skin, the sounds he makes, the look of terror and desperation in his eyes.
Doug revels in human suffering. He literally can't laugh at a joke unless it hurts someone.
@A Catalan Liam That's a good point, my bad.
@A Catalan Liam Except for when he is an egomaniac harassing his staff that is.
It’s incredibly disturbing, yeah.
Yeah me too. I don't see any comedy point in this.
It's totally creepy. Not cringe, creepy, totally creepy. The mix of desperation and madness is so painful to see and this final, just after he killed his hangman... Yew... I can't see this movie again. Fortunately there are these weird passages with Johnny Deep, the girlfriend and... other guy. It brings some light in this freak show.
It's a bit like the Human Centipede but far more worst.
for how cheap the movie looks, this is the most disgusting, horrifying, and sad movie monster that i've seen in a long time. and its great but it hurts my brain looking at the walrus man
Seems like horror stuff works pretty well at lower budget.
Same, I didn't watch the whole movie though, I only watch the clips and It damaged my brain.
God, Justin Long’s screams of agony were so heartfelt and frightening. Jesus.
+Slaughterama Precisely! 🥺
He has a lot of practice thanks to Jeepers Creepers.
@@Trazyn_the_Infinite_40K I’m very sorry for saying this, but he didn’t scream in Jeepers Creepers. It was another guy.
This movie is so fuckin disturbing.
I got nausea watching this.
Dear god, that human walrus thing is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.
Like, dear god, the first time I saw that thing, I thought it looked more terrifying than John Carpenter’s The Thing.
I don't find it scary myself, just disgusting.
Yeah it’s stomach turning tbh. Sick, horrific and disgustingly gross. Those screams are really freaky too.
Did you notice on its back there was the skin of his human face?
@@esteemedmortal5917 yesss it was creepy af
14:43 I missed it the first time but yup, there is his face on his left "shoulder"
This is one of the most disturbing, horrifying movies I have ever seen. People say it is dark comedy, I always think they saw a different movie.
I don’t think it’s that disturbing, I think it’s purely comedy.
i'm pretty sure Kevin Smith meant for it to be a comedy...because..like during the end credits or after the credits or something, you hear a voice over of Kevin Smith describing the scene to someone and he's just laughing and laughing like it's the most hilarious thing. .. like he legit thought this would be a hilarious movie.
i myself, thought it was a decent film, kind of piggybacking off the human centipede body horror theme that i keep seeing appear in movies.
When I saw the walrus scene by itself with NC commentary to lighten the mood, I thought it was the most fucked up thing I ever saw. Worse than any of your old fashioned snuff horror movies.
@@d.blakeview8281 it’s VERY disturbing
makes me think of the human centipede
You've gotta admit, Justin longs performance in that suit is absolutely amazing. I am completely enthralled and convinced this is a man turned into a walrus. I see no actor behind it. Just the walrus. Also considering the shit he apparently had to go through in that suit. He could barely move and it was I humanly hot.
when I read "He could barely move and it was I humanly hot" I thought you meant hot as in, well, I thought you were saying you got hard by seeing a man tortured into a walrus.
@@robonator2945 The worst thing is, among 8 billions of us, there is probably someone out there that has, is, or will get hard by exactly that...
It pisses me off that they let Wallace live. That’s just cruel.
Which cartoon is that profile picture from.
OK Jeffy the tangled cartoon I think
I sure as hell would want to die. Is there any person in this comment section that would want to live as this walrus abomination?
@@1hug1o Exactly.
@@okjeffy6581 Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure aka Tangled The Series.
I belive that in the beginning of the movie where the cut leg, i think that the cgi is purposely bad so we set are standards low, so that when we see the wallurs suit, we're more shocked
I agree, Kevin Smith is one of the last truly talented Hollywood writers. He does put a lot of thought and care into his productions, so the bad CGI at the beginning was likely him attempting a classic misdirection "red herring".
@@Dargonhuman I was thinking it was on purpose, like a cheap effect from the kid and when he arrives in Canada the kid was walking perfectly, to show a gullible character able to believe in anything
Kevin Smith is a big brain director
@@benthekingofking Honestly, I was half expecting that too. The plot twist would have been the kid faked it with Adobe After Effects trying to get his channel to go viral or something along those lines. I was pretty surprised that the kid actually did cut off his leg in the movie.
I was thinking that the kid was one of the walrus patients and that was why his leg was cut off and why we don't see his body at the funeral and that's why the video effects were so bad.
The design is so jarring. It’s disturbing, and saddening when you think of the character, but funny when you realize it’s just an actor in a costume
Imagine going to the zoo and your kid going, "mummy daddy look at the walrus" and then seeing this...
I was JUST thinking about this. I'd honestly be very horrified and probably never go to one again
Nostalgia critic last week: "so are we doing a bonus Nostalgiaween?"
The comments: "well the chart says..."
"I'm not asking the chart, I'm asking you!"
@@kittylover62 But the chart says
@@kittylover62 WILL THE CHART SAYS.....
@@user-ok2lw9cc1z "You are everything thats wrong with comedy!"
@@lonewanderer1122 but the chart says...
I can't get over the fact they just drop off a walrus man at an animal shelter and they take him in and even put him in a walrus habitat
like seriously, I would've asked those two why they didn't end his friend/boyfriend's suffering and call a fucking human doctor to kill him, or just do the job themselves
I mean...did the people that work at the shelter not notice anything SLIGHTLY different about this “walrus?”
SAME THAT ALWAYS ANNOYED ME
They were like
“Well it kinda.. looks like a walrus.. alright put him in”
@@loganwynn2337 I think one of the cops did suggest just giving him a mercy kill which in this situation would be the humane thing to do.
No movie has actually made me feel kind of nauseous just looking at the walrus suit....
+Lyric Hudson Same here! And I’m used to seeing gross, freaky looking stuff in horror movies like skinless people in the “Hellraiser” films. But something about seeing a human-turned-walrus and hearing his devastating screams makes my stomach churn and my heart heavy.
I feel like imma throw up too
That's kevin Smith for you
Oh, thank god I'm not the only one. I saw this and my heart legit stoopped beating for a few seconds. I can see the hilarity I guess, but to me this was plain and simple DISGUSTING. It legit gave me nightmares the first time I saw it. I didn't even finish the review once I saw the Walrus design.
@@airachica I literally had to stop the video and try to process what I was looking at when I saw the human walrus hybrid. At first, I was in shock. Then, I was very confused. Next, after I had put two-and-two together, I became extremely horrified. And finally, I became absolutely disgusted. I rarely get disgusted when watching a horror film because sometimes these types of films have gross things in it and you get kind of used to it. But something about this human/animal hybrid monstrosity and the entire film made me very queasy. Even thinking about it makes me sick. I wanted to not watch the video any further. But my stupid ass was too curious about what happened next in the film with this review video that I kept on watching and it only had gotten worse and worse. It’s one of the few times where I actually regret watching a Nostalgia Critic video.
"you dont want a gun? what kind of american are you?"
the only good line from Depp in this movie
I feel very vindicated that other people were actually disturbed by this movie as well.
I'm so sorry everyone. Let's all rock back and forth and try to forget it together.
So this movie. Ive only seen clips...witch was alwful. Please convince me not to watch this
once in a while Critic will do a movie that makes my eyes want to be sick just from the few clips he shows
thank you but no, I'm just gonna slam my head on the wall multiple times
Edit: BrAiN fEeLs F u N n Y
f-forget... w-what...?
I didn't even watch the movie and I feel disturb. I just read the summary of wiki and headed on the opposite direction.
holy.....honestly the walrus human hybrid is even scarier than any other horror monster iv seen and the whole happy music when its revealed is unsettling and adds to the horror even more.
I mean, what else did that guy put on his body to turn him into a walrus?
Than a human penguin
That scene unnerved me I’m actually frightened after watching it
King of the Hill episode intensifies
Yea it was really well done and believable
The walrus is so disturbing , I want to purge it from my mind
15:11
Critic: “he can’t talk. He can only make barking screams. And it’s disturbing but also a laugh riot”
Me: “no it’s just fucking horrible”
+Kai Schilling Precisely! Not to mention, his screams are devastating. 😧🥺
Ikr? Its horrific, and hilarious. My type of humor
@@crazyroundman7049 perfect for a horror comedy
@@crazyroundman7049 Kinda like some of Freddy's kills. Disturbing yet strangely funny at the same time.
It's both "fucking horrible" and so ridiculous that he's been turned into a Walrus as much as possible that he can't talk, it's hard not to laugh, while being shocked and disturbed by the body horror.
Tusk : for those who wanted to see Alvin from the chipmunks movies get his body transformed into a Unholy Walrus .
Never knew this movie existed.
What?
@@Elvusmiw the main character is played by the actor that did Alvin’s voice in the live action movies.
You: *mentions walrus hybrid*
Me: WAIT JUSTIN LONG WAS THE VOICE OF ALVIN?!
You gonna comment here too?
I have a dark sense of humor, and laugh at things that are probably considered crazy, but laughing at that guy as a walrus screaming bloody murder, yeah, just no
I personally think that Doug's seen so many horrifying/awful movies that it's warped the way he views shit like that
Yeah I was pretty confused at him calling it hilarious. I just thought “umm critic, are you doing alright?”
Nah I found it pretty funny. It’s like Freddy Got Fingered. It’s so awful that you have no choice but to laugh
Lol
@@dagoncrows1425 how would you know
This movie terrified me back in ninth grade, I legit had nightmares about the walrus suit. It’s why I have very mixed feelings towards walruses.
Walruses have very mixed feelings about you
Yeah lmao I can’t look at walruses the same way
Yeah, I developed a new fear of walruses after this movie
i wish i was in 9th grade when this came out...
Hoarker's from Skyrim already put me off Walruses but this movie just solidifed my dislike..
Ok there aren’t many things I regret in life and I’m happy about that... seeing Justin Long turned into a walrus...that’s a regret
The Walrus monster is genuinely terrifying and hilarious. Well friggin done
I remember the first time I saw it my brain wouldn't process what I was seeing when the walrus was revealed.. It's so... Unreal.. Love the movie though Michael parks and Justin Long both kill it
It was mostly terrifying.
I had to pause the movie to process it.
It's the second most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a movie. Next to that woman from slither...you know what I mean.
I legit just paused the review to think about what the hell I just saw
Horror Movie Tips:
1. Don't drink anything
2. Hide your black friends
Edit: Whoa! Where did all this likes come from!?
@Matthew W Jr. Hasch And in Sleepwalkers, Devil, Freddy vs Jason, The Shinning, Demon Knight, Monster Squad, IT, and Jurassic Park (not horror but still)
And don’t have sex
3. Don't run away from the killer once you've momentarily incapacitated him; kill him.
Don't split up or wander off. If something weird happens, tell the others in your family or friend group so you can ALL go & check out.
Don't take a shower
Howard wanted Wallace to kill him so he could join his walrus friend in heaven. The walrus spent its last hours helping a stranded man, so it went to heaven. Howard spent his last days turning a man into a walrus against his will, so he went to hell. Howard will never be reunited with his walrus friend.
In all seriousness though, that walrus suit is one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. When I first saw it, it haunted my nightmares, but after seeing it a few more times, I accept it as the genius work of art that it is.
Yeah, for me it wasn’t scary but it was scarring
Christianity teaches that all animals go to hell.
@@lapsijahti the fuck? That’s dumb as fuck. Even for a religion..
@@lapsijahti If that's true, then the man really did reunite with the walrus
@@lapsijahti no it doesnt the fuck???
_TFW you think Junji Ito has prepared you for anything, and then realize you weren't in fact prepared for anything._
FR IM ABOUT TO SOB ITS MIDNIGHT AND I DECIDED TO WATCH THIS
Literally the first time ever I watched through the ad bc of how scared I was to continue just the review 😭
This movie is why the aliens won't contact us. Benign or malicious, no one wants to deal with a species that came up with this.
As if aliens would have similar standards to us, to them this would be just as weird and unfathomable as the most regular tame PG film
"Wait, they do WHAT to each other and then save it so they can watch it when relaxing at their homes? They find THAT entertaining? Oh, FUCK THIS!"
I think it's more that no species wants to deal with humanity, including humanity. Because we are awful and have like 2 redeeming qualities and that's it.
@@Kazeromaru what are those two qualities? I'm skeptical that they exist in this disgusting species.
@@areyousureyouenteredyourna85
That's a nonsensical one-sided view, humanity is both amazing and atrocious at the same time.
Don't take for granted all the mindblowing technological and creative advancements that brought us out of the animal kingdom, I shouldn't have to list all of them.
This looks and sounds like the origins of a Batman villain.
There is a villain similar to this. The Walrus
The tusk. Sounds legit.
his action though reminded me more to Dr. Pyg
Considering that NC's jacket in this video gave me Tommy Lee Jones Harvey Dent vibes (but better-looking), I am not surprised.
Yeah like Penguins are scary
Best line in the film:
“I don't wanna die in Canada!”
Reminds me of “I don't want to die at James Franco's house” from _This is the End._
I watched Tusk without knowing nothing about it, and when it ended my only reaction was 'What the hell did I just watch?'
Same here 😰😭
"Ah, A24. When Blumhouse says 'That shit's too crazy even for us!'" Must have been how the conversation went when Hazbin Hotel got greenlit.
The Witch and The Lighthouse were really good.
@The Eyes Of A True Demon Hazbin Hotel is good. Still an off the wall concept though.
I was so exited when I heard the hazbin hotel news, I did a dance.
@The Eyes Of A True Demon No she Not what Are you Talking about
@The Eyes Of A True Demon if that is true (which I doubt) idk why they would get rid of Cherri for being “too graphic” when Angel Dust is a drug addicted prostitute, Alastor is a serial killer, and the setting of the show is literally in Hell. There’s going to be some unsavory people down there who have done horrible things in their life and afterlife.
My god, that might be the scariest movie monster I have ever seen. I am genuinely disturbed by that
+noah hecker I think so. This is the first time that I was genuinely aghast and nauseated by some kind of creature or monster in a horror movie. And I rarely get disgusted by things that occur in horror movies.
Dude I can feel bile rising in my throat. Why tf is it so god damn disgusting??
@@BuckerydogSchmuckeryDog It’s honestly impressive. This film gave 19 year old me nightmares for three days straight. That is something I never thought would happen again
youre talking about Doug in that hello fresh ad right?
Nostalgia Critic: "He left a third message too. It says ark ark ark ark ark!"
😂🤣 lmao! I'm dead 😂🤣
So, I’m not one for ANY kind of horror, even super campy ones, but once we saw this reveal, I had a very unique string of emotions:
First, I was laughing because of how unrealistically stupid and insane that concept is. This was likely a form of shock.
Second I was getting more and more disturbed the longer I looked at the details of this abomination.
Lastly, nauseating sadness. Not only did I feel bad for this guy (despite being a self-absorbed asshole), but couldn’t believe the audacity of his “friends” letting him stay like that! I mean, they couldn’t take him to a doctor?!? You wouldn’t even need a marine biologist to tell you that is NOT a natural walrus! If he can’t be healed, SHOOT HIM! Kill him! You were already having an affair behind his back and hate his guts anyway! Just end him!
Yeah... I’m gonna need therapy after this...or watch cute cat videos, whatever works.
+Bitsy83 I couldn’t have said it any better. For the record, I am a huge horror movie fan and there are some things in these types of films that don’t bother me too much. But after watching this video, this film ended up haunting me. When they revealed the human walrus, I had to pause the video so that my brain can process what I was looking at. I was so surprised and flabbergasted. And part of that was due to me watching this video with an open mind and not knowing what the movie was truly about. In hindsight, that might’ve been a HUGE MISTAKE in this case. To me, it felt like it came out of nowhere, at first. I just stared at the screen trying to comprehend what I was looking at. The longer I stared, the more I was beginning to feel extremely uncomfortable. Then, when I continued the video, the more I looked at him, the more creeped out and nauseous I got. Furthermore, I began to feel extremely anxious and scared because my mind began to think about what that depraved scientist POS did to him and the possibility of there being people out there like that sick and twisted bastard that could do some ghastly BS like that to people. And finally, I felt a mixture of scared, sad, and angry at the end of the film because they definitely should’ve put Justin Long’s character, I think his name was Wallace(?), out of his misery. Just the thought of being turned into a human-animal abomination due to INHUMANE experimentation and torture that ultimately cost you most of your basic human characteristics like your limbs and tongue among other things, you’re in constant pain due to whatever was done to you, and you can’t do anything but scream is BEYOND TERRIFYING and HEARTBREAKING. His ex-girlfriend, so-called “friend”, and Johnny Depp’s character, in my opinion, are just as bad as that POS scientist because they’re letting him continue to suffer! I don’t care if he was a self-absorbed asshole. What was done to him was INHUMANE. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
@@Gabreya I couldn’t have said THAT any better myself. It’s funny, isn’t it, how a human being could comprehend a creation like this. If you’re familiar with Junji Ito then you’ll see just what kind of twisted, horrific things he’s created. But I watched an interview with him and was surprised by how nice and sweet he was. I’m not accusing Ito of being a maniac hiding behind a pleasant face, but I think he, and everyone else, have those dark terrifying thoughts in there heads. He and Smith just produce them in a “positive” way by turning them into stories or movies. But, yes, there are others who use those thoughts and make them like thus scientist or Dr. Mengele.
Nice to know that even horror aficionados found this just as disturbing as I did. 😉
@@Bitsy83 You’re absolutely right. And I’m familiar with Junji Ito, thanks to TH-cam channel Horror Show Mickey. In fact, I couldn’t get through some of Ito’s stories because a lot of the imagery in his books had really unnerved me. I’ve never seen any interviews with him. But from what you’ve told me, he does sound like a normal, nice person. You make an excellent point about how he and Kevin Smith use horror as a way of expressing how humanity can sometimes carry darkness within. Even if it’s through ghastly imagery. This shows that horror is a surprisingly great way for us to examine the ugly and dark side of humanity, and give warnings about human nature. Which is why, slightly off topic if you don’t mind, Stephen King’s “Carrie” was showing through the actions of the characters what happens when humanity devolves into such immorality and cruelty that result in the figurative creation of monsters.
@@Bitsy83 I’m sure that I’m not the only horror fan that found this film extremely disturbing. We all have our limits. Heck, things like skinless Frank and Julia in the first two Hellraiser films and that overly bloated lady in “Slither” don’t bother me as much as this. And the messed up thing is, judging by this video, this film had the potential of being a genuinely good film, but unfortunately missed the mark due to the awful writing, awful structure, the misplaced comedy, and not really sticking to the point of the story.
Also, in my personal opinion, I felt that that scientist bastard should’ve been killed in an ironic manner similar to the karmic deaths in “Tales From The Crypt”. Him getting killed the way he did was a cop out and really didn’t make any sense. But hey, just a thought. 😉😊
Yea I just wish they took him to a fucking doctor
This needs a recut. Take out the scenes in the convenient store and scenes with Depp. Just have Depp show up at the end to shoot the Walrus. Boom! Credits!
Not even in the guys mansion he just shows up to the zoo place or whatever it is at the end after the girl and the friend leave the fish for him and Johnny depp pulls out a double barrel shotgun and blasts him
It was too long a lot of it dragged on
Yeah his scenes were terrible. His acting, voice, dialogue. Dont know what they were thinking. Even Parks playing a retarded character with him is awful. It was like Depp channelled his inner Willy Wonka and wanted give the worst performance of his career. The rest of the movie is so good, what a shame those parts were even filmed
I love Johnny Depp but yeah, we didnt need a long second plot
*~“The time has come.” the walrus said~*
This is a movie that actually made me look away and I’ve seen The Thing, Braindead, Alien and the Freddy, Jason and Pinhead sagas without turning my head.
Despite the fact that this is listed as a comedy horror I can barley look at that walrus Buffalo Bill suit. The idea of being stitched inside a costume made of human skin and then being mentally tortured into a feral state frightens me far more than any gorefest could.
Yeah, just seeing that thing in this video makes me consider going to church again.
Bro I have the exact same feeling when I saw this shit. I hate to admit it but this movie traumatized me. It's kind of uncomfortable
This movie disturbed the hell out of me.
It is because you have both the body horror and mental horror. One alome can be terrifying, but both together when done well chill us to our core.
To lose your body and mind to a feral state is the ultimate fear of higher thinking beings like humans
@@TheHermiboy It's okay, it _is_ super uncomfortable. I felt a little better when Doug admitted he found it disturbing, too. Do you ever wonder how critics handle having to watch movies over their threshold, because I certainly do.
Am I the only one a little worried for Doug's sanity because of how excited he is for the monster? XD Like Jesus, that's the freakiest shit I've EVER seen
That monster is gonna haunt my nightmares
I can never fight the Skyrim walrus’s the same way again
Movie: *shows the horrifying walrus creation*
Closed Captions: *[Applause]*
No it doesn’t LOL
@@jordanlassiter5311 Fine, to be exact it says "Music" with "Applause" underneath it but it's there, trust me. It's at 14:24. 😉
CC literally referred to Wallace's barks as "applause." 😆
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose no I was saying that as like your kidding me right?
@@jordanlassiter5311 Oh, okay sorry. And no, I'm not kidding.😆 Turn on the CC and go to my time stamp to find out for yourself.
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose oh i did and my god that is hilarious.😂
I could've gone my entire life without knowing about this.
Also, is the implication that the numerous others who were turned into walruses drowned?
And they left the guy as a walrus?
No doctors trying to bring him back to something close to normal?
A few things
1) There were other numbers off that list in the bathroom taken so who knows how many people became walruses.
2) I'm in no way a doctor so I don't know if they could bring him back as a human.
3) Even if he stayed a walrus, we have different body systems so theoretically wouldn't he be dead? Like yeah he's a walrus but he's still dead.
4) I feel bad for any kid that went to that zoo and witnessed him.
+Justin Kelly I thought the exact same thing! I wished that I had never seen nor heard of this film. Now, I can’t get that image of Justin Long’s character being turned into a human walrus monstrosity out of my head. Sure, the character was a douche bag. But I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy! 🤮😖
Well it's still a horror film, and it would've been unrealistic to seriously think that Justin Long's character was the only person that this crazy asshole ever tried to turn into a walrus, and somehow got what he wanted on the first shot. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at how many more people died as he tried to turn them into walruses, before he perfected the procedure to do it.
As for why they left him like that? Well, I'm not a doctor either, but I did hear that usually whenever you get say an arm or something cut off, you usually have to keep the detached body part on ice, and get surgery asap to get it reattached before the detached body part goes dead from the lack of blood flow into it. Once that happens, then you're basically fucked. From what I can remember from the movie, they never exactly explain how much time passed after his limbs and various other body parts were removed, in order for him to be turned into a walrus, so chances are he's probably screwed.
Plus, it's never established in the film that anyone else but that crazy guy knew how to turn people into walruses, so it's highly unlikely anyone would know how to change him back either.
Even if they could turn him back to at least looking human again, the problem is he doesn't have a tongue anymore, and given everything I've already said, and the fact that it's never explained what happened to his body parts that were removed, as the crazy guy could've disposed of said parts while he was unconscious, so chances are even if he was turned to look human again he'd still be a tongue less person with no limbs at all, so he'd virtually be helpless with no way to communicate with the world unless he learns how to write shit with his mouth.
And finally, I think having him turn back completely as though it never happened like you seem to want it to have happened would've ruined the ending honestly. Part of the reason why he was crying at the end was because he took life granted. Always looking down on others, and thinking he was on top of the world, but now that everything he's known is taken away from him, and knowing he'll have to live the rest of his life as animal makes him realize how much he misses his own humanity. And how even though he's now more animal than man now, there's still humanity left in him. That was the point of the ending, so I don't think a happy ending would've worked for this film.
+Steven Escareno But the way the movie was structured and how it played out was disjointed and awful.
Plus, from what you said about the possibility of doctors changing him back, if this were real and he was able to survive all this time, it would take years and many doctors to possibly make that happen. They would try to at least make him somewhat human looking again, fix his internal organs back for human functioning, and probably construct a new tongue for him. And, from what I’ve read from one of the comments in this video, they would have to give him prosthetic limbs if they were to try to reverse some of the extreme body modifications done to him.
@@Gabreya that's assuming he has money and a viable health coverage. Most doctors won't perform that extensive amount of surgery on a person if they don't have both. Sure sometimes you might have some doctors might do it probono but that's not a sure thing.
Plus since it seemed like in the movie itself nobody else knew how to do the surgery that crazy guy did to Long's character, it's safe to assume they'd have to contact a specialist or two to revert him back to normal if that was even possible and Lord knows that will not only be expensive but hard to get a hold of said specialists especially if he doesn't have the money and good health insurance
My theory for the boring, stupid flashbacks is that they hoped that the dark parts would be so disturbing, they figured people would be desperate to laugh at anything.
It’s like having planes be the B plot to human centipede
"Is man indeed a walrus at heart"
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Even though I'm a llama
Dude I'm a raccoon. Can't relate
¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯
The ending just depressed the Hell outta me.
I felt like the ending should've been that Wallace doesn't kill anyone, showing his humanity is still in there, and the procedure is reversed, allowing Wallace the chance to become a better person.
I don't you can reverse tusk implants, arm paralysis, tongue and leg amputations. But they could take the suit off and get him psychiatric help.
I was hoping the transformation would be reversed, too.
however i realized that alot of the things he endured are actually irreversable. even the "start" of the transformation was permanent, there wasn't a chance wallace was gonna have that leg re-attached.
and on the operating table where BOTH of his legs were cut off even BEFORE the actual walrus transformation, that shit doesnt get reversed.
@@Protag_Shilex yeah. But I feel like they could've done something to help him get even a little bit back to normal, whether it be with no legs or whatever, or put him out of his misery.
this kind of movie is ruined by happy endings. Thats something that made Saw (the first, at least) so good. One guy had to cut off his leg, the other DIED OF STARVATION and the villain gave us the biggest twist the movie could provide until the sequel with the kid in the vault. No one was happy, no damage was fixed, the essence of a Horror movie (which is NOT the same as Terror) is to shock, to disgust and, well, horrify, so the ending must also unsettle and cause certain disconfort with room for though.
So basically be another sappy happy ending? No thanks, I really don't want that generic bullshit. Not saying that it has to be depressing but I think it ended perfectly!
This movie is almost as batshit crazy as Sorry to Bother You.
I'm still baffled by the direction they took with Sorry to Bother You. NOBODY saw that crazy shit coming. It was such a jarring and unexpected change that it almost ruined the whole movie for me.
Oh god
"Sorry to bother you" was awesome.
Great you made me look it up
I don’t wanna look that up, what’s it about?
Well, there’s a side of Kevin Smith I never thought I’d see. And I wish I hadn’t.
Absolutely.
You should watch Red State
I love the fact they didn't kill 'The Walrus'. There was no cop-out ending of just killing the victim, they actually had to deal with the question of what the hell do we do with this poor bastard? I'm not sure putting him in a walrus enclosure was what I would he chosen, but at least they did something that sparks more conversation than just shooting him.
I'm not someone that gets scared easily but holy shit the walrus design almost made me throw up on my friend the first time I watched it.
Same! 🤢
Same here. It’s so hard to look at and it makes me feel sick...
You really haven't been desensitised to extreme graphic imagery, this is child's play compared to the gore websites on the Internet.
@@elliotboertje5079 I try to stay off any of those sites for my mental health thank you very much
@@nina__serafina
Fair enough, everyone has a different reaction and tolerance to gore and violence, the level of exposure does impact it hugely.
My mental health isnt impacted at all by seeing real life footage of someone's face ripped off because today's explicit culture has built me up to it.
Human Centipede: I am disturbing and gruesome.
Tusk: Hold my beer.
Or is it "Hold my weed?"
@@louisduarte8763 How about, "You're cute. How about you hold this while I fuck shit up tonight."
Human Centipede II is even worse! I live in the UK, and it was originally banned there for being too gross, so 5 minutes of the film was edited out!
A serbian film is worst than human centipede and tusk.
Ehh I gotta go with Human Centipede being more disturbing than this film.
Nostalgia critic: "After these messages"
Me: Oh my God, Yeees! More commercials!
When the video showed the scene where the walrus suit is revealed, I just stared at my screen, transfixed, not showing any reaction other than terrified shock.
And then I rolled it back to make sure what I was seeing and hearing was real and started laughing in disbelief

Still get chills because of that episode.
@@justyouraverageblackstar3672 If you do decide to rewatch/finish it, watch Brotherhood and not the original. Brotherhood actually follows the manga and finishes, whereas the original goes off on it's own random plot and ends with a honestly stupid movie...

"You don't want the gun? What kind of American are you?!?" Now THAT is a perfect joke!
So for that costume folding in on itself bit, I could've sworn that walrus can actually pull there heads in a little to conserve body heat or something similar. But I could be wrong so will see.
That's what I thought. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all pinnipeds can do that (seals, walruses, and sea lions).
After watching this video, as a horror movie fan, I’ve never been so genuinely disturbed, disgusted, and traumatized by a horror film in my entire life. I actually don’t find the human walrus funny at all. I find it EXTREMELY DISTURBING and GHASTLY. And it made me feel very sorry for Justin Long’s character, even though he’s a jerk. It seems like the only genuinely good thing about this film was Johnny Depp’s performance. But other than that, the film doesn’t seem quite right when it comes to tone, structure, and sticking to a specific point in the story. Gah! AWFUL.😣🙁
Same!
I normally love horror but this movie was a regret for me
Like even the human centipede wasn't this bad lol
I was just bored watching that
This movie however gave me a small fear of Walruses and if I even so much as think about this movie I just get sick
I really wish I didn't see it
One of my worst mistakes lol 🙃
@@Seijohs_Manager I totally understand! I LOVE horror films and I rarely get seriously creeped out by what I see in these types of films. But something about seeing this film through this video left me extremely anxious, disgusted, and uncomfortable. I would’ve never have guessed that Kevin Smith making a horror film would end up being genuinely frightening and disturbing to the point where it would stay in your mind for a while. Though, the movie probably would’ve been better if it was a straight horror film that was properly structured, instead of a horror comedy that was all over the place. Even though horror comedies can often work, in this case, it didn’t feel right. The comedy felt off and mean spirited. And you’re not the only one who now has a little fear of walruses because of this film. I now feel a little uneasy whenever I look at a walrus. Plus, when I had first looked at this video when they revealed the humanoid walrus, I actually stopped the video and took a good look at the creature to try to process what I was looking at. I was surprised and horrified. When I played the video again, it only had gotten worse. 😖🤮😕🥺
Try watching, "Martyrs", (the French version), and let me know if this movie still haunts you more.
"Tusk", is still freaky though. Body horror is always the genre that can gross me out.
@@oren1305 Yes. Something about the body horror sub genre that’s very unnerving, which is its intent. I think that this film would’ve worked if it was just straight horror instead of a comedy/horror.
😨Yes same here! I love watching horror movies and I want them to actually legit scare me. While a lot of horror films in recent years are stupid and lame (in my opinion), this one left a completely different mark on me. It honestly disturbed in a way that I didn't think was possible. Now thanks to this movie, whenever I see a walrus (commercial, documentary, book, stuffed animal, etc), I cringe so hard 😬😖😣
The funniest thing about the walrus to me is that, it looks like he can talk with no problem whatsoever. But just chooses not to and that’s even funnier.
@@Peterinho I think he cut his tongue out so he can’t form words.
I disagree that this movie will be an absolute hit if they had the "comedic" moments removed. I feel like it may end up as just another exploitation movie with a super disturbing imagery had Smith just kept it entirely as a body horror flick. The absolute disbelief gained from a movie where scenes of Depp attempting a weird accent and scenes of a person being surgically operated to become a human walrus coexisting together possibly would leave a stronger reaction and even a deeper mental scar on the audiences. A guy getting his head fatally twisted inside a torture machine in a SAW movie or a guy getting his head fatally squashed under Big Bird's foot in an episode of Sesame Street? Surely I'd be more interested to find the clip of the latter.
i agree with you. if youve ever seen smiths movie "Red State" its basically all horror no comedy and it gets realy boring by the end. however johnny depps scenes need to be cut entirely.
exploitation movie? exploiting what, walruses?
Honestly I'd just watch a movie of the two actors talking
The Critic: it’s hard to look at, yet you can’t possibly look away!
Me: Yeah? Watch me
I said the same thing
. . . He can't . . . He's still looking at the walrus
They say they’re still trying to look away.. they’ll never.. never..
Me: I've heard a lot about this movie. Thanks Critic for finally letting me see what it's about.
**The Walrus scene**
Me: 🙂 .... 🙃 .... 😐.... 🤢.... 🤮....😫....💀
Watched this on a whim one night with my little brother and was left amazed. The ending is still one of the most haunting scenes I've ever seen. With his little ball floating
Me: God that's sick. Looking at that horrifying walrus abomination makes me never want to eat another thing for the rest of my life.

Kindaween should be the thing after nostalgiaween every year.
Michael Parks is SO underappreciated. He was one of the best actors of the last 40 years and this performance is just more proof. R I P.
I think what makes this movie so horrific compared to other horror films is that in something like Friday the 13th, when Jason puts his machete through someones head, you at least know they are dead and that they can't possibly suffer anymore, same goes for when Jigsaw kills someone in a death trap.
But Wallace's fate is so dehumanising, so utterly cruel that honestly by the end of the film, your wishing someone would put the poor bastard out of his misery.
Which makes it worse when they for some reason don't!
"After These Messages" is my absolute favorite. Its like a holiday tradition for me now to rewatch them. 80's and 90's commercials are mesmerizingly absurd. It's a snapshot in time back before advertisers had so many metrics on their target audience that they know when their about to sneeze before they do.

Underrated Comment, you deserve more likes

me: *gremlins*
That should be reserved for his Christmas set.
Nah that would be Nostalgic. We don't do that anymore, he's now the "I just watched this amazing movie, let me talk about it" Critic.
Wasn't expecting the jacket to be half and half.
The first time i saw that abomination it disturbed me to the point I had nightmares for a week, seeing that thumbnail got my skin crawling and itching all over
This film almost feels like a horrifying version of the novel The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells? I could be wrong though!
+Omar Luna You’re absolutely right! This does feel like the EXTREMELY HORRIFYING version of “The Island of Doctor Moreau”! 😧
Honestly I was once going to watch this cause a 'friend' recommended it and luckily for me I watched a basic summary of it instead of actually seeing the movie and not gonna lie somehow this movie disturbs me more than human centipede and it's all because of the f***ing walrus bit which genuinely almost made me lose my lunch and for anyone wondering I don't actually have a weak stomach so that should show just how messed up this whole thing was to me and I would never make my worst enemy watch this genuinely horrifying movie if that's what you want to call it.
I took my girlfriend to see this in theaters. She broke up with me when the credits rolled.
F
You're lucky she waited until the credits.
Ouch. Sorry.
She probably thought she was dating a serial killer in the making lol
i showed this to my girlfriend for our "Horror Movie Night," but she only likes dumb PG-13 horror movies. everytime it's my turn to pick, she says "is this gonna be like that creepy walrus movie?"
That walrus expirament scene is now engrained into my brain without me even seeing the whole film or even hearing of it before this.
Great.
Edit: I really hope we get a real thoughts tomorrow.
Same. Fuck me.
Any real thoughts yet?
When i first saw the walrus my neck blood vesselles felt like they were strangling me because i was horrified
That walrus suit is nightmare fuel on crack. I don't know if that image will ever leave my head, much as I would like it to.
😧 I know what you mean. A few years later after seeing this movie and I still can't get rid of the image no matter how hard I try. I can't look at any Walrus now without cringing. Damn 😣😖
Justin Longs horror movie characters always get the worst endings.
Also Literally, right before Aaron.
+Samuel Wright Except for "Drag Me to Hell". Still, his character in that film is left heartbroken and traumatized.
That suit is horrifying.
Just imagining being trapped in that suit freaks me out.
@@ObaREX - yeah, just like with human centipede, I find this type of horror really bothers me... so much so that I can’t bring myself to watch either film, little clips are all I can manage.
@@sian2337 Same,, it’s all just way too horrifying, the only way i can manage is thinking about the fact that the suit is a suit and wondering about the behind the scenes of the movie
Critic: This costume design is so gruesome and so incredible that you want to look away but you just can't.
Me: **trying to eat salad, has to look away so I don't feel like gaging** Yeah. Totally. Great prop job on the costume there... **worriedly hurries to finish salad so I can finish the video**
A once friend of mine showed me this movie and only said beforehand "oh yeah, Johnny Depp is in it" so I thought oh nice, but after finishing watching it I had nightmares for days
It's ridiculous how a movie about a guy turning into a walrus could make me feel so uncomfortable and sick
Man when I saw that scene where he is being basically tortured turning into a walrus I didn’t feel bad but I felt super disturbed and exetremly uncomfortably and no other movie I’ve seen has done that to me.
This scarred my life when I was young.
It still does.
I don't want to see that thing again.
And yet here you are. LOL
When u were young? Isn’t this film only 5 years old?

"When the world needed nostalgia ween the most, it came back."

I know, right? I can handle blood and gore and yet that walrus suit scares the bajeezus out of me. It’s like something Bill Cipher would do to a person.
Bill: You could use some new clothes. Here, have a walrus suit made of human skin!
Agreed. It was traumatic, just seeing Jason Long as a human walrus made of human skin.

Yup I am not sleeping tonight. or ever again. Thanks NC
No the FUCK it's not! Foodfight is a better movie than this!
In honour of Seán Connery, you should review one of his best movies.

Well, the next one is a commercial special, so that is worthy of thanksgiving...
Seeing that walrus scene is so disturbing. It's so horrible to look at but I still cant look away
I legit felt like throwing up when I first saw the walrus suit. Yeah, upon looking closer the makeup isnt that great, but something about the concept of condemning a person to a life of pain in every sense is just so disturbing. I can't even think to laugh at it...
Same here. I only laughed at the parts before the walrus
There better be a "first impressions" with Rob and Doug for this...
I think there might be, in an episode of 'Brad ruins Rob's day' recently he said Doug has made him watch Tusk earlier in the day. So fingers crossed!
Hey, guess what?
A post of doubt remains whence the question not needed asked but answered. Do I sense a heretic among us?

MORE COMMERCIALS!
Kevin Smith is obviously trolling the viewer the whole time, that doesn't necessarily make those scenes funny, but that's clearly what's he's going for.
It was a joke film, the entire point was to try and get something stupid filmed, finished, and actually released. Not was not a secret either, it was always that from before the film was made.
I loved how Justin went from talking chipmunk to a disturbed bodied horror walrus
