If you don't fancy sleeping tonight, then this flick is the perfect thing for you.
And we have A24 to thank for it - though 'disturbing' movies are pretty much their bread and butter at this point.
But some reckon this 2014 film is disturbing enough to go against Human Centipede - whose reputation is more than enough to put some off from never seeing it their lifetime.

However, this film goes perhaps even further in its hideous human-to-animal transformation.
Tusk follows a podcaster (Justin Long) who travels to meet a recluse at his home, completely unaware of the fact that he has a morbid obsession with walruses.
So, you can probably imagine what happens next.
You can watch the trailer here:
And viewers have been left ‘literally traumatised’ after watching Tusk, with Heidi Wong, a TikToker taking to the platform to share her thoughts on the movie and claimed that it was the worst horror film she had watched.
After creating a series of videos about her thoughts on Tusk, she explained the concept: “Out of all the horror movies that I’ve seen, this one gets to me the most.

“Tusk is about a podcaster who meets a crazy man who wants to turn him into a walrus, as in surgically turn him from a human to a walrus.
“This movie was worse than The Human Centipede to me.”
In another video, the TikToker went on to reflect on the ending and how messed up it is.
She captioned a video of herself thinking about it: “Me watching a guy who was forced to be surgically turned into a walrus finally escape, only for his friends to put him in a zoo to live the rest of his life as an actual walrus.”

In her comments, users were also quick to admit how much the movie affected them, with one person writing: “Please don’t remind me of the movie Tusk. I’m traumatized from watching it.”
Another wrote: “I dreamt about that damn walrus for weeks!”
There were even those that could no longer enjoy the animal anymore as one person commented: “After knowing about this movie and seeing clips I can never see walruses the same anymore”.
But, if you thought you had escaped the freaky film, you could be wrong as in 2022, Long told Slash Film that the director Kevin Smith had reached out about a potential sequel.
Hopefully, it'll stay locked in storage for the foreseeable future.
