Clayface
Directed by James Watkins
Matt Hagen's 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.

negative · AI labelView post →Gonna get Alex so annoyed he forgets he's watching a horror movie by constantly turning to him and saying shit like "there's a fan theory this actor character becomes a monster later" or "any idea who the title is supposed to refer to?" or "oh that's why the movie's called Clayface, he's an actor"

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve been biting my tongue about the Clayface movie since it seems like yall were liking it, but now that it’s getting comparisons to Morbius I can safely say it was over from the minute every interview mentioned the Animated Series two parter and nothing else.
negative · AI labelView post →"CLAYFACE." Full review embargoes lift tomorrow but it's good 👍 Old-fashioned mid-budget horror movie with aspirations to a male-POV take on "THE SUBSTANCE" - sure, let's do one of these for every Batman-nemesis if they can be this compact and fun 😁
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Clayface Using Clayface's powers into a body horror film pays off excellently as this doesn't hold back on the brutal and gory effects throughout while having a simple but effective story, great acting from the cast and great build up to the horror with it's runtime
positive · AI labelView post →Clayface (2026) is a gothic romance, a body horror film, and a super villain origin story rolled into one. Its as much Darkman as it is The Fly, and it never loses sight of the fact that its protagonist is indeed turning into a monster. I dug the hell out of it. 👍
positive · AI labelView post →Me watching "That Scene" in Clayface tonight... (something might be wrong with me)...
positive · AI labelView post →Saw Clayface last night, and I REALLY enjoyed it! Love how it didn't feel at all like a superhero film, and had some wonderfully grotesque body horror throughout. Would recommend!
positive · AI labelView post →#lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky boxd.it/8FVgb Even i looked at this and thought, "What an odd collection of films." This weekend: Klara and the Sun, Clayface, Wicker, Wildwood, and the Substance (for movie night).

neutral · AI labelView post →Clayface truly is the best Morbius ever. No really though, it absolutely works on its own as a neo-noir horror film. And not a SINGLE recognizable star in the cast. Go see it!
positive · AI labelView post →Hideo Kojima's review of "Clayface".
neutral · AI labelView post →James Gunn says he dislikes the idea that individual DCU stories must lead to something bigger to matter: “I would love people to be seeing ‘CLAYFACE’ because it’s a great, fun horror movie unto itself, not because of where else Clayface will show up three movies from now.” #JamesGunn #Clayface
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly Clayface was a SOLID movie! It didn’t drag or feel like it needed to connect to anything else. There is a throne room level scene that was 🤌🤌🤌 (Star Wars fans know) great soundtrack and special effects. 4/5 ⭐️
positive · AI labelView post →New Projector Review! DC's Clayface proves that Batman's antagonists are just interesting and complex as the caped crusader himself, enough to sustain an entire horror film without them. But there's a missed opportunity for something in even better shape. www.youtube.com/watch?v=44C4...

neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t really give a shit about the embargo debate around Clayface, but I will say that dude is high as a kite if he thinks that movie is even remotely comparable to Morbius. I had a blast with it and can’t believe it’s as unabashedly gnarly as it is.
positive · AI labelView post →Enjoyed CLAYFACE (2026) very much; it's what Sam Raimi wanted DARKMAN (1990) to be, another DC movie standing sturdily on its own as a solid slice of 21st century 'body horror' while providing an origin for this iteration of one of my favorite Silver Age Batman maniacs.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Clayface failing at the box office tells us that comics movies are dead!" I mean maybe, but also: making a movie about a c-tier Batman villain was a pretty silly idea
negative · AI labelView post →At the movie theater for the first screening of CLAYFACE. So many kids dressed as Clayface, running around, saying his catch phrase ("Claytime's OVER!").
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching Clayface (2026)! 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Newcomer Tom Rhys Harries brings a pathos to Clayface that makes you feel sympathy for the killer. A villain from the Batman universe the film was entertaining. Although Mike Flanagan has a co-writing credit, he has distanced himself from the film. You decide . ⚖️🦇 #FilmSky #Shocktober #BodyHorror

Still playing: YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, STREET FIGHTER, YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER, WHALEFALL, FORGOTTEN ISLAND, even a few DEVILS screens. Wow.
neutral · AI labelView post →Clayface finally confirmed as an 18 in the UK. That it took this long to appear - well after the Irish film board gave it a 16 - suggests that WB was tried to appeal or cut for 15 (as per End of Oak Street), but the bodily harm theme meant it was simply not possible. www.bbfc.co.uk/release/clay...
neutral · AI labelView post →Clayface Always thought a psych-horror film about Clayface would be a cool idea but this delivers not so much on psychological but "body horror." Barely a superhero film (net positive) & surprisingly goes far with the gore, love that it wasn't just a pg-13 film just barely rated r lol
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Clayface (2026); don't fuss over the comics connection and just think of it as a mainstream horror movie. Tonally--not that different from Cronenberg's The Fly. Thumbs up.

Paramount's acquisition of WB is set to close on Tuesday, following a judge's approval of settlements required to close the deal. DC's "Clayface" will be the first Warner Bros. film under Paramount.
neutral · AI labelView post →>A whole lot of this hate feels like people piling on to pile on, hopping on the bandwagon to be part of the in-crowd, with no personal experience to actually draw from. That's basically "The Internet" in a nutshell. Chuds on Twitter or wherever want to hate something and for whatever reason the rest of the Internet follows along. Twitter is a place of hate, nothing good comes from there. It's not a real place. Fuck em. And I'm picking on Twitter, but fuck the whole lot of em. And I don't…
neutral · AI labelView post →With the new Clayface movie coming out I'd like to say something I've analyzed before. I think that Clayface is a perfect tragic queer character not only did he lose his career but he also lost the love and happiness he could have had with his boyfriend Teddy.
neutral · AI labelView post →6 hours with M. and a Sunday well spent. 🥹 I actually love how you indulge in my weirdness and you’re so up for seeing some gruesome movie with me post-coitus. (Clayface was fabulous, btw. ⭐️5/5)
positive · AI labelView post →Clayface is undoubtedly one of the best horror films of the year and should not be written off as simply another comic book adaptation. It may live in that realm, but it is achingly so much more than meets the eye.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m lifting the moratorium on being nice cause it has been a week - the street fighter movie sucks complete shit and is embarrassing. Clayface looks neat but now directly profits some of the worst people in the world. So just go see Wildwood. Art needs a win rn. 😋✨
positive · AI labelView post →person coming into the store specifically just to ask me what I think about the upcoming CLAYFACE movie excuse me, are you Mike Flanagan
neutral · AI labelView post →Superhero movies have been around forever. The fatigue is from reviewers being forced to take some of them seriously. Certain people take a special delight in stomping on comic book movies, because it drives engagement. Case in point, here's what appears to be an objectively good movie coming out in a year with only one other superhero movie this year so far, and the headline includes a potshot about superhero fatigue. I haven't seen Supergirl yet, but from the reviews I gather that is was…
