Film Review - Clawfoot

CLAWFOOT 1

Screenwriter April Wolfe (2019’s “Black Christmas” remake) arranges a small-scale tale of pressure with “Clawfoot.” The film takes place in a single location, working with a strange situation of routine confrontation to get its juices flowing, aiming to create suspense out of a perplexing meeting between a housewife and the aggressive contractor looking to install a bathtub in her immaculate home. Wolfe relies on mystery, portioning out pieces of information meant to tempt viewers with this study of strange hostility. Director Michael Day (making his feature-length helming debut) supports the mission with a gradual tightening of the vise, pushing stars Francesca Eastwood and Milo Gibson to explore an insane battle of wills. “Clawfoot” makes it to the midway point in decent shape, summoning suspense and encouraging interest in where this tale is ultimately going. It’s the destination that’s quite disappointing, rendering the endeavor an uneven and unsatisfying viewing experience. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
