Variety's early verdict on James Watkins' body-horror take on the DC villain says it works best precisely because it ignores the larger DC Universe plan.

The film’s original screenplay, helmed by horror maestro Mike Flanagan, draws direct inspiration from the 1993 episode ‘Feat of Clay’, where Matt Hagen transforms into the eponymous villain.

Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie made a statement in black at the Clayface premiere—both for the look and what it means for DC’s next phase. This isn’t a superhero film. It’s a descent.

Clayface has crossed $87M globally and beaten The Substance to become the highest-grossing body horror film ever — a feat achieved in under 11 days.
