Clayface

Clayface is showing at the Dome Cinema in Worthing, with screenings on Sunday 1 November at 16:15 and Wednesday 4 November at 19:00. It's DC Studios' first time working in the horror-thriller genre, directed by James Watkins and starring Tom Rhys Harries in the title role of the Gotham City villain.

The film follows one man's horrifying descent from a rising Hollywood star into a revenge-filled monster. It's a character study that looks at the loss of identity and humanity, corrosive love and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition. The whole thing runs 109 minutes, so it's just under two hours in the cinema.

If you're familiar with the comics, you'll know Clayface as one of Batman's more unsettling rogues, and this takes the character's origin and stretches it out into a full feature. It's a different pace from the usual DC output, leaning into the horror and thriller side of things rather than the superhero spectacle. With Watkins directing and Rhys Harries taking on the lead, it's a look at the character from the ground up, tracing the fall from stardom to whatever he becomes by the end.

Between the two dates, you've got a choice of a Sunday afternoon or a midweek evening. The first is on 1 November at 16:15, and the second is on 4 November at 19:00, both at the Dome Cinema on Marine Parade.
