I originally thought this was a straight horror film, so I was surprised to find out it was more of a drama, but I LOVED the visual effects!

Check out my full review @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/clayface-movie-review-tom-rhys-harries-leads-a-gruesome-satisfying-dcu-villain-story/ Rating: B CLAYFACE is a grotesque, committed body horror villain origin story that’s refreshingly standalone. Tom Rhys Harries gives a pretty great lead performance, subtle for most of it and menacing when it counts. Naomi Ackie is good alongside him. The practical effects and prosthetics are remarkable, the disco set piece is a blast, and the airplane bathroom scene had me looking away. I liked that it lets Matt be a villain and ties his career so bluntly to his face. Away from him, though, the writing gets thin. The supporting characters and the mobsters are weak, the second act runs in circles, the editing cuts corners on the transformations, and Gotham looks like any other city. Still, I quite liked it. My DCU streak lives on!
