Clayface star was "really cutting through" prosthetics on his eyes during gruesome airplane sequence

Clayface, the latest movie from DC Studios, is a villain origin story for the titular Matt Hagen – with copious amounts of body horror.

After being horrifically disfigured by a mobster, Matt – previously an up-and-coming Hollywood actor – gains shapeshifting powers after receiving experimental treatment from Dr. Caitlyn Corr. But, this comes with a terrible cost: when he gets too emotional, he can completely lose control of his body. The result is a grisly, R-rated horror flick.

"Well, I think if you're going to buy a ticket for a horror movie, it's like buying a ticket for a roller coaster ride, right? You don't want to buy a ticket for the really boring ride," Clayface director James Watkins tells us when we meet with him in London and ask why he wanted to take the film in this direction. "You want to buy a ticket for the really out there ride, the one with real ups and downs, the one that goes upside down and throws you around in circles."

To make his body horror, Watkins drew on some iconic inspiration. "In terms of movies, I guess I'd probably look back to the films that I really liked when I was growing up and drew inspiration from those, so whether that was a lot of David Cronenberg, body horror, obviously Videodrome, The Fly is a massive reference for this movie, obviously, The Thing, American Werewolf in London," he tells us. "Brilliant films that have the body horror, but they have a kind of humanity to them.
