Horror fans are flocking to social media in shock over a psychological thriller which has left viewers 'forever traumatized'.
If you've already watched the best horror to be released in the last five years and fancy s**ting your pants again, then fear not, because there's a release from 2014 which you may not have seen yet and it was released by none other than production company A24. Prepare to want to turn away from your screen:
Cast, crew and synopsis
Based on a story from Kevin Smith's SModcast podcast, the horror comedy or psychological thriller - really depending on how you take it all - was written and directed by Smith.
Advert
It stars Michael Parks (Django Unchained), Justin Long (Dodgeball), Genesis Rodriguez (Man on a Ledge), Haley Joel Osment (Forrest Gump) and Johnny Depp.
Its story centers on two men called Wallace Bryton (Long) and Teddy Craft (Osment) who host a podcast together, Wallace flying to Canada to interview a kid who went viral for the show.
However, upon arriving at Canada, the interviewee is no longer available and so Wallace goes to visit a retired seaman instead, who has an eerie story about a walrus - and let's just say, Wallace doesn't make it back out of the mansion exactly the same as he went in.
There's a very good reason one Twitter user called the movie - titled Tusk - as 'the most disturbing horror movie [they'd] ever seen.

They added: "It is far worse to me than [The Human] Centipede or Saw as a franchise."
But what does everyone else think?

Reviews
Well, with a budget of $3 million and a worldwide box office total of $1,887,554, as per The Numbers, well, not putting it lightly, Tusk was considered a flop.

Add to that a pretty bleak Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of 46 percent, alongside an even more dire audience score of 36 percent and you're probably wondering why Tusk is even being brought up again.
However, despite only receiving crumbs of applause on Rotten Tomatoes, Tusk has had better luck over on social media, many viewers still properly shook by the movie.

Responding to Tusk being called 'worse than The Human Centipede' one Facebook user said: "It's way worse. Still traumatized. Forever traumatized."

"Any movie that has Justin Long in it, I know it's gonna be brutal," another added.
A third commented: "This film was very disturbing a lot worse than The Human Centipede very sad ending."
And a fourth resolved: "Seen it. Can't unsee it now."
