One of the standout messages in the new movie “Clayface” is how people, especially in the precarious profession of acting in Hollywood is how the people who support you when your career is going well, run for the hills when your career goes downhill.

Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) is an up-and-coming actor, nominated for an Academy Award, who inadvertently becomes involved with the girlfriend Theresa (Ruby Sear) of a powerful and sadistic mob boss Markos Szabo (David Dencik), who takes revenge on Matt by cutting up his face. After this, Matt’s career as an actor is 100% over. By some miracle, Matt runs into a genius scientist, Caitlyn Corr (Naomi Ackie), who is on the verge of a fantastic discovery: intelligent cells that can be injected into the human body to fix damaged cells.

After a brutal attack destroys his acting career and disfigures his face, a desperate Hollywood star undergoes an experimental regenerative treatment that grants him the ability to change his appearance—but as his body mutates and his thirst for revenge grows, he risks losing the last remnants of his humanity.
