Cinema can be different.Any good movie will find its audience, whether it is a comedy, a horror film or a melodrama. The main criterion will always be one thing - the quality of the work of the crew and the talent of the director. And then - a matter of taste.
People used to see the same type in cinemasfilms. Having come to such a movie, a person already knows what will happen, how it will end. In the comedy, he will see jokes in every scene, in a horror film - sharply jumping monsters and different ghosts, in a melodrama - a love story. One gets the impression that modern cinema is no longer able to surprise anyone who does not want to waste their time on banal pictures. However, this is not the case.
There are films that can not justto surprise the inexperienced viewer. They are able to really scare, and not sharp cries, but something more terrible. They show such things on the screen that make the blood run cold in their veins, and the viewer cannot utter a word, because what is happening on the screen simply cannot be explained and goes beyond all possible frames. A prime example is The Tusk - a 2014 film shot by Kevin Smith.
The plot of the movie

Upon arrival, the main character learns that this guy is dead. However, he does not want to return without a report, so he goes to a country house to see an old sailor who has many interesting stories behind him. This man seems to be an ordinary, sweet old man, but in fact turns out to be a real psycho and a serial killer ...

Michael parks
In the film “Tusk”, whose actors mostly have little experience, Michael Parks got the role of a maniac, and he coped with it beyond all praise.
Parks starred in a fair amount of goodfilms including “Django Unchained,” “From Dusk Till Dawn,” “Kill Bill,” and several other well-known films. However, in the overwhelming majority of well-known films, the actor was given second-hand roles, while Kevin Smith entrusted him with the main one and did not lose it. It is worth noting that in the film there is a scene where the young hero Michael Parks played Matt Schevely very successfully.
Now Michael Parks is 78 years old, and he continues to participate in filming. At the moment, the actor is involved in several television projects, as well as in a short film.
Johnny Depp
In the movie "Tusk", whose actors were not the mostfamous people, unexpectedly for all, one of the most famous actors of our time - Johnny Depp. Usually the actor participates in multi-million ribbons, however “Tusk” had a relatively small budget and did not think of it as a big project.
Nevertheless, the fact remains.Johnny Depp played in this picture and did it well, although most critics scold him, not understanding why he got involved in it at all. The reproaches are quite justified, because the actor received a bit of screen time, but this does not negate the fact that his character turned out to be funny, and he decorates this film in his own way. No matter how successful Johnny Depp is, “Tusk” still remains one of the most controversial films in his career.
Genesis Rodriguez
About American actress Genesis RodriguezThere is nothing much to say, since the film “Tusk”, whose actors and so not all had a lot of experience behind them, in fact, turned out to be the first more or less large project for it. With the role of Genesis coped well and after the premiere of the film participated in another project from Kevin Smith, who was less successful.
Criticism
The painting "Tusk" received mixed reviewsboth from the audience and from critics. The reason for this, of course, is that the film is truly shocking and can in no way leave even the most sophisticated viewer indifferent. From this review, as a rule, rush to extremes: someone thinks that the film is a true masterpiece of the author's cinema, has a deep meaning and subtext, and those who abuse it simply did not understand. Others say that the director has gone too far with cruelty, so the film leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, and it is generally not recommended to watch a healthy person.
Anyway, bad movie or good, everyThe viewer decides for himself, but what can be said for sure is that the picture will not leave anyone indifferent. It should be noted that especially impressionable people, especially children, viewing is extremely not recommended. “Tusk” is a film for adults who are tired of banal films and want something new and unusual.
