Verdict on Clawfoot
Clawfoot is a thriller following an elite housewife caught in a battle with a seedy contractor. The two try to get one over the other before we learn a much darker side to one of their plans.
This thriller works well with the comical battle to get control of the situation. While becoming a much darker black comedy when we see the truth in the house. It surprises with the directions it goes and plays into how the rich live. The second-generation stars Francesca Eastwood and Milo Gibson are great, Milo looking prime Mel in his fast-talking days. You can have a lot of fun with this movie, as it embraces the wacky attitudes.
