‘Clayface’ Review: DC Comics Horror Movie Is Good, Gross Fun, With No Franchise Homework Required
We are now three movies into the so-called DC Universe — branding that so far doesn’t appear to have cut through to any but the most devoted of nerds. Last year’s “Superman” reboot was respectable enough, this summer’s “Supergirl” a bit less so, but the prospect of a larger story world connecting them hardly sets […]
"Clayface" is a gruesome and entertaining horror movie that has left me squirming in my seat. The film centers around a shape-shifting villain with practical effects and body horror that will make you uncomfortable. While I wanted stronger connections to Gotham, there is plenty of content for horror fans with strong stomachs. The movie is rated 3.5/5 stars, and it is currently in theaters on October 23.
Rising Hollywood star Matt Hagen stars as Matt, who has his promising career destroyed when a crime boss disfigures him. He turns to an experimental treatment that restores his appearance but comes with dangerous side effects. As his body undergoes grotesque transformations and his grip on reality unravels, Matt becomes the shape-shifting monster known as Clayface.
The movie takes DC in a creepy new direction, moving away from superhero showdowns and crime-fighting adventures to explore the darker side of Hollywood stardom.
