Clayface
Look fear in the face.
Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss's actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

Fan & Critic Buzz
The public reaction to the movie "Clayface" seems mixed, with some viewers appreciating its bold and twisted take on the Batman franchise. However, others have questioned the film's ability to successfully implement the concept. Some reviewers also found it amusing that a villainous character can simply be reimagined as a horror figure.
From the trailer's comments
Honestly, making Clayface a Body Horror movie is a stroke of absolute genius.
