Clayface stirs enthusiasm among body horror fans
Private screenings sparked positive reactions even before the official release.
Clayface was screened in a preview on Tuesday night. Directed by James Watkins and co-written by Hossein Amini and genre master Mike Flanagan, it will hit theaters on October 23, with the critics embargo set for October 21. DC Studios organized several screenings and allowed brief reactions on social media. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the early consensus indicates that genre fans will be very satisfied. The story follows Matt Hagen, played by Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries, who goes from a Gotham kid to a Hollywood star before being horribly disfigured and seeking a cure that restores his original appearance but threatens his perception of reality. The cast also includes Naom.
