Upfront, it’s important that you know that the big evil in this film is demonic clay. Yes, clay. I never thought in my life that that would be a sentence I’d write, but here we are. And you know what the real shocker is, it’s kind of great. It’s low budget creative insanity, art school students vs evil material body-horror bizarreness. It’s a bit silly, but also a but jaw-dropping and, not exactly bloody because…clay, but pretty gross all the same.

For a film. About possessed demonic clay this was very freaky. The filmmakers made this work, thought it would be rubbish but there's a lot of craziness that is successful because a lot of Japanese horror is weird and this just fits . Oy reminded me at tines of evil dead but less gory but the low budget effects, weird deaths and the way the clay moved looked a bit evil deadish. It's got a lot of icky body horror and a finale that just let's loose. Loved the way the clay monster looked too.

If you can accept that there is cute gore, this is it! Inventive. Silly. Very low budget AND so much fun!! We get a death by protractor (so angular!); a man birthing a playdoh Golem (see, babies are not so easy dudes); and a monster that earned last place in the middle school art fair. Gotta say tho, I smiled nonstop through this schlock.

I came for the vampire clay creatures, but stayed for the bizarre, grotesque clay body horror that this turned into. This is absurd, and totally wacky, and I dug it. The final 20 minutes weren't as strong, but the ending was fantastic. Memorable special effects in this unique little horror film. Definitely recommended if you're looking for something a bit different. The Japanese always come up with the craziest stuff, and vampire clay is no exception.

Moist and sticky body horror made out of clay from the ashes of a sculptor. It gets inside you and fuses with your bones or something. Really great practical effects but most of the other stuff is about as amusing as a lump of clay with bad performances and even worse soundtrack. But all the goopy goodness is so good it makes up for it a little bit. Don't really see the comparisons to Evil Dead or The Blob. Society would be the most accurate comparison but even that's not really it. Clearly made with budgetary constrains so I can see why parts of this aren't great.

Watched during my Summer of J-Horror.

Incredibly weird and wacky special effects work make this worth the look. And truthfully, I was pretty engaged with the plot and characters, simple as they were, for a while. But eventually it becomes obviously more about the effects, of course, and the structure of the finale makes the pacing feel off in the last stretch. The ending is also absolutely goofy, but this is still pretty cute overall.

Went on a deep dive through Tubi and found this. Goofy clay-tastic body horror that I didn't expect to actually be good.

This Japanese horror is so freaking weird but I love it 🪱

Estoy genuinamente alarmado con la tibieza que ha sido recibida esta película por estos lados. ¡Es tan fácil de querer!

Vampire Clay es un lindo recuerdo de cuando las películas de horror de bajo presupuesto eran un ejercicio de ingenio en lugar de pastiches disque graciosos demasiado conscientes de si mismos. Como The Thing en una escuela de arte en lugar de una estación en el ártico, repleta de los lindos efectos de claymation de la Evil Dead original. Gore práctico y de primerísimo nivel. Son solo 80 minutos, y la poca historia que cuenta toca temas sobre lo snob que pueden ser las escuelas de arte, lo que la hace aún más graciosa.

Golazo.
