DC’s R-rated Clayface gets props for its body horror twist on comic book villain story-telling, but is it worth the trip to the theatres? 


James Gunn is resetting the DC comics universe with Clayface, the third (and standalone) film in the DCU, a part of its Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Following Superman and (the expensive bomb) Supergirl, Clayface positions a DC Batman villain as the anti-hero in this standalone “Monster” origin story. It’s all noir-love triangle-revenge tour - think Cronenberg’s The Fly meets Sam Raimi’s Darkman. And Cupcake and WillDaBeast bring back veteran guest Brian “The Flickboxer” of Luck Key Find Comics to break down this hybrid horror-comic book entry. 


We open on the comic book, the animated history (Batman the Animated Series)  of Clayface from Basil Karlo to Matt Hagen. And then segue to our spoiler free thoughts. Starring newcomer Tom Rhys Harris and Naomi Ackie and from a script by red-hot Stephen King adapter Mike Flanagan and Hossain Amini (the celebrated screenwriter of Refn’s Drive) and directed by James Watkins who remade Speak No Evil and directed the Woman in Black, does Clayface get the comic book origin trope right? Can it commit to its “horror-leaning” bent or is this like those trashy but good Sony/Marvel, Spider-verse villain films like Morbius and Madame Web?
