Only a few more days until the masses get a load of Kevin’s Smith’s TUSK. (Okay, that’s a weird sentence.) While I was very mixed on it (read my review HERE), I’m eager to find out what the horror populace thinks once they give it a whirl. I suspect it’ll be a love-it or hate-it kind of flick, with me smack dab in the middle.

To help get you ready for the monster movie, studio A24 has released a new featurette for the film that focuses on the production design (which really is good); within the featurette you’ll get a look at some set-pieces that haven’t previously been shown in trailers. In addition, they’ve unveiled an extended TV spot that gives you insight into the film’s origins; that is to say, it includes audio from the original podcast that inspired this macabre tale. See them both below.

TUSK is a modern-day monster movie that follows a journalist named Wallace (Justin Long) who finds the story of a lifetime in Mr. Howe (Michael Parks), a worldwide adventurer with amazing tales and a curious penchant for walruses.
