NOT another streaming Movie - Clayface

DC Studios are back following that Supergirl film. They return with Clayface, more of horror/thriller, than a straight up comic book film.

Welsh actor, Tom Rhys Harries is Clayface, a cult favourite villain from Gotham’s rogues gallery.

Matt Hagen’s (Harries) meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

The film also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll, plus Joshua James.

Max Minghella returns after his long run on the wonderful The Handmaid's Tale.

Following Supergirl's box office and critical woes, Clayface might be able to turn around DC's luck. I didn't love Lanterns on HBO recently, whilst a new Superman film is locked in for 2027. DC have always lived in Marvel's shadows.

This did give Demi Moore's the The Substance vibes at times. Body horror films seem to be a new genre within horror. I am buying into it. Although I couldn't watch the plane scene. Full disclosure.

The film had gore, revenge and some serious make up/special effects.

I did enjoy this film. I did also enjoy it wasn't two plus hours. It took a minute to get to the point, however, once it did it moved along like a John Wick revenge film.

This was a massive step up from Supergirl.

3 Stars.
