🗿 In the search for perfection, some monsters are made, not born. And when the face in the mirror is no longer your own, the nightmare has only just begun…

👋 Hey guys!
It looks like DC is taking a seriously dark turn. The buzz around Clayface is that this is not your typical superhero flick. Instead, it leans heavily into transformation, identity, and pure psychological unease — pushing the boundaries of the DC world in a much darker direction.

Clayface is a body horror film based on the eponymous DC Comics character, directed by James Watkins, with a screenplay by Mike Flanagan — who’s fast becoming one of my favourite voices in the genre. The story follows an up-and-coming actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. As a last resort, he turns to a scientist who transforms his body into clay, with horrifying consequences.

While Clayface exists within the DC Universe, this film appears to stand firmly on its own as a genre piece — blending horror and tragedy rather than superhero spectacle.

The plan is to meet beforehand for drinks and a chat about the DC Universe and how horror is carving out its own space within it. Then we’ll head into the screening together, followed by a relaxed post-movie discussion and our Letterboxd scores. No pressure — just good company and a film that’s bound to spark conversation.

If you’re a fan of the eerie and the unexpected, this could be a very fun (and unsettling) night out.

See you guys there,
Jonny
