Critics Consensus

Carving out a unique identity for itself in the DCU while closely resembling a litany of body horror classics, Clayface takes time to get going until it eventually morphs into an icky and satisfying revenge thriller.

Audience Says

A refreshingly twisted tale of revenge, Clayface is a horror-fueled comic book adaptation that breaks from conventions while still delivering a satisfying emotional core.

It is as if Gunn and Safran had to keep Gotham vague enough that any version of Batman could be slotted into such a world when the time arises. I had a fun time watching Clayface, but it doesn’t offer up any lasting cinematic pleasures.

There are scenes of such inventive gruesomeness that I found myself whimpering pitifully and hiding behind my backpack for much of the feature. That may not sound like fun, but -- trust me -- it is.

Clayface isn’t the best version of breaking the mold, but it is a studio taking a risk, and isn’t that what we want at the end of the day?

What a great cinematic experience. The acting is incredible. There was no need for Batman to appear. I loved every minute of it. I hope to see more of these characters in the future.

I thought it was pretty good! It didn’t go overboard with the green screen stuff. It told a somewhat fantastic story about a man obsessed with revenge with a bit of a sci-fi twist. A lot of bad guys met an untimely end, but it’s dangerous to play God with people’s lives.
