The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 207 times at 21 cinemas across 15 districts, from HK$55 to HK$150 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at Emperor Cinemas Tuen Mun (Sun Tuen Mun Centre) in Tuen Mun, HK$55. Category III · 108 minutes.

What it is about

Follow the terrifying descent into hell of a promising Hollywood actor who has become a monster driven by revenge, exploring the loss of identity and humanity, the ravages of toxic love and the dark side of scientific ambition.

What to expect

James Watkins directs this DCU body-horror entry that uses a shapeshifting premise to dig into identity and obsession. Tom Rhys Harries plays the actor whose ambition and toxic attachments push him into monstrous territory, with Naomi Ackie as the scientist whose experiment sets the physical decay in motion. The III certificate is earned early—practical effects make the clay transformations feel wet and wrong rather than slick. At 108 minutes it holds a tight grip, though anyone looking for cape-and-cowl action should know this leans fully into tragedy and grotesquerie. Playing at four cinemas across four districts, 14 screenings this week, tickets from $55.
