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.

That cheap, trashy aspect works to its advantage; it doesn’t have overblown action set pieces and doesn’t ask to be taken seriously. It’s a grotesque gross-out movie, made to get a scream out of you. And maybe a chuckle.

2.5/4

OK, it’s no classic, but this try-hard scarefest gets the job done for Halloween with a No. 1 box-office contender loaded with delicious squirms and the rollercoaster kick of laughing while your stomach begs for mercy.

"Clayface" wants to tell a sympathetic villain origin story like "Joker" or the TV miniseries "The Penguin." Yet, it doesn’t trust the audience to handle moral complexity. Instead, it muddies the waters and pretends to be deep.

I wasn’t expecting to say this, but “Clayface” is the jolt the DCU needed.

An embrace of grotesque body horror that, with its adult rating, builds a horror story with distinct personality within a subgenre saturated with bland clones.

Despite the fact that making the third movie in the entire DCU about the eighth most popular Batman villain seemed like a questionable idea, that ends up not mattering at all. Clayface is great.

I’m not sure how Batman will beat him but this movie was done so well. The acting the story and the motive behind his actions. The first movie I’ve liked that was about a villain.

Keeps you engaged throughout the movie, had some intense moments that’ll make you jump or wonder how they pulled that off. It’s a story of revenge and shame. I think Tom Rhys nailed it. DCU moving in right direction

Movie is too fast paced. No scenes in the movie have any room to breath.
