Clayface earns a promising, mixed critical launch

Ahead of its Oct. 23 release, Clayface is around 75%–76% on Rotten Tomatoes, with one update citing 83 reviews. Praise for Tom Rhys Harries, body horror and effects is balanced by sharply negative takes on the writing, emotional impact and tonal consistency; opening forecasts have softened to about $25M, and audience response is pending.
