'Tusk' might be the most original film I see all year. Michael Parks gives a show-stealing performance as the main madman. His presence, along with a completely unrecognizable famous actor in a supporting role (which I won't spoil), elevate the humor and disturbing elements of the film. Many label this a horror/comedy, and that is very true. There are laughs and shocks aplenty. I was often surprised. However, with the consistent plot turns comes an inconsistent tone that hindered my enjoyment in slight. It may not mesh as one complete whole, but the many bizarre set pieces and solid comedy are well worth the watch.
