SYNOPSIS
Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) goes from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man, right up until a local crime boss leaves him horribly disfigured. So he signs up for an experimental treatment that gives him his face back -- and slowly turns him into living clay with a serious revenge streak. James Watkins directs from a script co-written by Mike Flanagan. R-rated DC body horror, no Batman in sight. For fans of Darkman or The Substance.
