collider The movie is “gross” in a good way.
reviewer gabrielle moss Said, “Please know that ‘gross’ in this context is meant as a compliment. clayface was positioned as the DCU’s entry into the body horror genre, and it delivers on this promise in every way, as protagonist Matt Hagen (tom rice harris) is actually a body which is Terrifying. Over the course of the film, his skin stretches and melts, scratches and reshapes, and he is attacked with everything from bullets to nail scissors to straight razors to can openers. If you see it in theaters, you’re almost guaranteed to experience some community audience’Wow!‘S.”
screencrush Gave the film 60% rating.
reviewer matt singer Said, “Let’s not mince words: Clayface is a disgusting man. He’s a walking pile of filth. If you’re going to make a movie about him, it’s going to tear down the audience. As a tragic character study of a broken man, clayface Never really digs below the surface. As an entertainingly weird horror film, it really gets under your skin.
The Associated Press Was pleasantly surprised after watching the film.
reviewer mark kennedy Said, “clayface A surprisingly good revenge thriller-romance, body-horror origin story for a lesser-known villain from the Batman comics. We may not have asked for it, but this is a crowd-pleaser that mimics its title character’s ability to be something for everyone.
rolling stone Was not impressed with the film.
reviewer david fear Said, “Watching this intriguing-on-paper chronicle of a Batman supervillain once again transformed into a tragic antihero dealing with the psychological fallout of his new Bat-like physical condition is the equivalent of eating a handful of Play-Doh™, and doubly tasteless.”
Independent Gave the film 3 out of 5 stars.
reviewer Clarice Loughrey Said, “Cinematographer Rob Hardy… is having as hard a time here as he did in the flats and muddy environments of this summer.” super girl When it comes to establishing a distinctive visual language… Rhys Harries does the heavy lifting here; The actor, in his first major lead role, imbues each scene with such wounded intensity that you could layer on a dozen prosthetics and the performance would still jump.
USA Today Gave the film 2 out of 4 stars.
reviewer brian truitt Said, “A messy DC miss…While Harries gives all the mixed versions of Matt’s internal conflict and external facade (enhanced by some excellent effects work) a complex human touch, Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini’s screenplay does almost nothing with him as a character… clayface It’s also a Batman-adjacent project that, surprisingly, doesn’t use Gotham as a character.
hollywood reporter Praised the film.
reviewer frank sketch Said, “clayface It has emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the year… with its gory visuals and pulpy comic book dialogue, in the most evocative way possible. clayface Provides psychological depth and emotional resonance that enables it to draw comparisons to the works of body horror masters such as David Cronenberg and Sam Raimi.
Empire Gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and appreciated it a lot. tom rice harris‘ Display.
reviewer Sophie Butcher Said, “While clayface While disappointing in its lack of depth, it certainly delivers a strong lead performance from Harries and buckets of bloodthirsty body horror.
