Clayface Cometh



PRESS: DC Studios’ first-ever foray into the genre, "Clayface" is a horror thriller from director James Watkins, starring Tom Rhys Harries in the title role of the Gotham City villain.

SYNOPSIS: Clayface” unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.

Look fear in the face. #Clayface hits cinemas this October.



MY SAY: I am not a "huge fan" of the DC character, and neither do I dislike him, but I reckon will not no expectation(s) to this, and can enjoy and judge it for what it will be (no doubt there'll be a Batman reference inside, which honestly might both irk and entertain me lah).

But at least its a "new" Batman villain getting the spotlight now, instead of the cliched "Jokers", "Two-Faces" and "Penguins" tho, but that's just me ... but then again, I never did buy any "Clayface" action figures, so ... :p

Will I head into the cinema to watch this? Not likely, but will look forward to it streaming. I appreciate being entertained in fall forms and genres, but the jump scares in this trailer is kinda irksome more that I give it credit for, and the B-Movie schlock is not as strong when it should be, IMHO ~ LOL
