CLAYFACE Overcomes a Slow Start With a Fantastic Finish (Review)
Nerdist’s reviewer found the first half of Clayface merely “fine.” It follows an early-2000s superhero template, spends too long explaining the science behind Matt Hagen’s transformation, and has a romantic subplot. It’s also very gruesome, with realistic body horror (face slicing, needles near the eyes) that made the reviewer look away. The second half is described as an absolute blast: once Tom Rhys Harries’ Hagen embraces his powers and goes after revenge, the film becomes creative, funny, and horrifying, with inventive shape-shifting and a long, satisfying climactic set piece. The review calls Harries’ performance star-making, and praises Naomi Ackie as Dr. Caitlyn Corr, Max Minghella as Detective John Borelli, Joshua James, Eddie Marsan, Ruby Sear, and David Dencik. It also says the CGI and makeup work, and the film stands on its own with little connection to Batman or the wider DCU. It opens October 23.
