How Clayface Performed
Clayface's Blurbs
About me:

Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) is an actor fresh off an Oscar nomination, right up until a crime boss (David Dencik) takes a knife to his face. Dr. Caitlyn Corr (Naomi Ackie) has an experimental nanite treatment that rebuilds skin. It works. Then his face starts melting on a red carpet. James Watkins directs from a Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini script, and it's the third movie in the new DC Universe. A full body horror movie wearing a superhero logo.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone who still signs up for the free clinical trial.
