In yet another blend of anticipation and horror this season, the upcoming thrillerClawfoot, written byApril Wolfeand directed byMichael Day, has unveiled its sinister poster and several first-look images. The poster featuresAwake’sFrancesca Eastwoodin a bathtub with blood on her hair while the first-look images, sharedby Bloody Disgusting, are a combination of terror, seduction, and more blood, featuringMilo Gibson,Olivia Culpo, and Eastwood.
The vivid depiction of darkness and intrigue on the poster and initial images offer a verysteamy yet dark glimpseinto the eerie world of Yale Entertainment’sClawfoot. The film just had its premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival on June 18, 2025, but the thriller is slated for a November release.
Clawfootcomes from the producers of the smash hitBeckyand revolves around a suburban homemaker played by Eastwood. She’s terrorized by a manipulative contractor, played by Gibson, who is remodeling her bathroom. But while Eastwood is playing a suburban wife, her BFF backup is ready, and they will turn the tables as the two give the contractor a taste of his own medicine by what is described as “a twisted battle of wits with deliciously unexpected results.”
‘Clawfoot’ Will Have a Backdrop of Dark Humor
Although missing from the images, the movie also starsOliver Cooper(Grown Ups 2).The film is being described as “a clever thrill ride brimming with darkly vicious humor and pulse-racing tension.” Eastwood’s portrayal of the suburban homemaker promises to back up this claim and challenge traditional horror archetypes. Her character refuses to be bullied and turns to her friend to help which is likely where the subtle dark comedy enters the movie.
Thanks to the talented ensemble, the film is slated to offer a fresh take on the revenge thriller trope. Gibson is known for his roles inGangster Land,All the Devil’s Men, andHacksaw Ridge, while Culpo is known for her roles in films likeI Feel PrettyalongsideAmy Schumer. Cooper has also appeared inProject X,As We Know It,Baby Blue, andHelen’s Dad.Bates MotelandChristopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight’sNestor Carbonellis also a part of the impressive cast.

Yale’s newly introduced sales division, Great Escape, overseen byNick Donnermeyer, will manage global sales.
