Starring: Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan

Director: James Watkins

Running Time: 108 Minutes

Rating: R

Release Date: October 23, 2026 (Theaters)

Now that I’ve seen the 2026 movie Clayface, I have to ask: can there be a person with the name “Clay Face”? It wouldn’t even have to be the name of the guy who becomes Clayface in Clayface (although we could certainly do better than “Matt Hagen” if the goal is to be exciting). And this theoretical human being wouldn’t be required to have any Clayface powers. In fact, it would probably be more hilarious if that weren’t the case. So in conclusion, I guess what I’m trying to say is: this movie did a pretty good job doing exactly what it was trying to do, but not to the point where the main thought I have related to it isn’t something silly that has basically nothing to do with the movie itself.

Grade: 35 out of 50 Clayfaces
