11. Tusk
Tusk turns a bizarre premise into a haunting meditation on the loss of humanity. It follows a podcaster who encounters a deranged old man intent on turning him into a walrus while searching for a strange story. As the body takes on a grotesque form, it is a frightening, metaphorical representation of obsession and transformation. Tonal shifts between horror and absurdity keep the viewer consistently on edge, and the transformation of the character catalyzes introspection into identity and the mysterious and dark result of unbridled curiosity. Tusk defies conventional limits of horror in weaving comedy and tragedy.
