Watched this fucked up film a few days ago and been reading about some user reviews and insights since. The move was definitely…something. A+ for the body horror, it was disturbing as hell.

My question is, did Wallace truly believe he was an walrus? He lost all humanity and didn’t even think or remember he used to be a human being that got kidnapped by Howard and mutilated into a walrus? I tried to search it up but all I got was “Howard breaks Wallace’s mind” and convinces him he’s an actual walrus. We didn’t really see that in the movie, he got his limbs altered in the last gnarly stitching scene and then boom, he was in the walrus suit but nothing really indicated or showed to me he began to believe he was a walrus? He was freaking out seeing his reflection and the other dead Mr. Tusk at the bottom of the pool, so is there any indication to say Wallace still had his humanity retained in a grotesque way and just had no choice to but to continue living and acting like a walrus as he was at the end of the film?

Curious as to everyone’s thoughts.
