As a fan of Kevin Smith all the way back to CLERKS, it is exciting to see him delve into new territory. In his latest horror fantasy TUSK, he creates something that we’ve never seen before. Thanks to all those listening to his SModcast that voted “#yeswalrus” we can get a glimpse as to what a human walrus would actually look like. This fascinating, funny, creepy and philosophical flick may very well be Smith’s best, and it is sure to stick with you after you watch.

When I had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Smith about his latest, I made the observation that horror seems to have reinvigorated his love of moviemaking. From this, he opened up about what it was about this story that inspired him. He is always entertaining, as well as enlightening, to chat with. Are you ready for TUSK? You can check it out this Friday at a theatre near you.
