In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark talks to returning guest, director James Watkins about his highly anticipated body horror thriller CLAYFACE, a DC Comics origin story. From discovering Welsh actor Tom Rhys Harries and working with Naomi Ackie to the film’s prosthetics and practical effect, James takes us behind the scenes of his character-driven horror. They also talk about the formative films that shaped him and the shift towards horror in mainstream cinema.
Next, Mark is joined by friend and Screenshot colleague Nigel Smith to discuss his book AN OPINIONATED GUIDE TO FILM LONDON. From hidden-gem cinemas to unexpected film locations, Nigel shares some of London’s film treasures, including a self-guided tour for readers to explore the city through cinema.
