A typical night for veterans at a VFW turns into an all-out battle for survival when a desperate teen runs into the bar with a bag of stolen drugs. When a gang of violent punks come looking for her, the vets use every weapon at their disposal to protect the girl and themselves from an unrelenting attack.

Talk about money well spent.Fred: "Right about now, I'm feeling real eager. So whatever you're gonna do, quit flapping your gums and do it. But when you come, boy, you come sharp. Because you make a mistake, I'm gonna cut your heart out."
Shot like 80’s B cult movie bad lighting in all. The violence is decent and it has its moments. During other times kinda boring. The cast of veterans were pretty cool. For me the vibe for the movie wasn’t there. Some might like it. If you want to check it out you can on Shudder.
Old Guys Kicking Ass!!
VFW is so much fun! It is loaded with gore and practical effects. It has a synth score to die for, and it pays a lot of homage to Assault on Precinct 13. It is like Joe Begos directed VFW just for me!
Stephen Lang is such a badass. He’s killing fools with every weapon you can think of. William Sadler steals the movie. He’s the heart and soul, and his performance is one I will not soon forget.
Man, VFW is straight up action horror survive the night fire. If you like movies with likable characters and a high kill count, VFW is definitely for you!
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT MOTHERFUCKER.
Assault on Veteranenkneipe 2494: From Dusk Till Dawn of the Braindead Endzeit-Junkies. Oder eben 'ne stabile 7 auf einer Skala von 1 bis The Night Comes For Us. Very old white men, Sprüche so trocken wie ihre Fürze, Haut oder Drinks, grobe Bilder, wirklich grobe Gewalt, ein leicht unübersichtlicher Schnitt, ein John Carpenter-Gedächtnis-Score und Drugheads die durch Hirschgeweihe gedrückt werden: fertig is ein kleiner, dreckiger Oldschool-Crowdpleaser, der einfach einen Fick auf alles gibt. Bisher Begos bester.
some of the eye-rolling boomer vet worship vs. millennial junkie stuff aside this has a stellar cast of aging, old-school genre/exploitation actors hanging out in a bar before exploding into a low-budget siege picture drenched in neon, leather, and buckets of blood gushing from axe wounds. Assault on Precinct 13 is the obvious reference point for the premise and score but honestly, it has very little of carpenter's lean coherency and patient mood. when the movie finally gets going its much closer in tone to like a gore splatter Cobra or something—all absurd, incoherent detail and cliches but with enough viciousness and style that it sorta comes together. i do wish some of the action wasn't as dirty and cut…
I'm a little sore at this cast for tricking me into watching another Joe Begos movie.

Can't unfortunately fault VFW significantly due to it being exactly what I was expecting. It's your typical 80s synth siege homage with an electric cast of familiar genre faces, aping Carpenter's efficiency but without the bruising instances of poetry, and a slathering of good-ole practical bloodshed. This threatens to succeed based solely on its inspired style *inspired by* a whole damn decade, but once again, anything beyond its surface texture falls to pieces. One of those new movies destined for VOS (Video On Shudder) status.
i hate joe begos. one of the biggest hacks making horror right now. he tries so hard to be a combination of rob zombie and john carpenter but he doesnt understand what actually makes them good. its not colored lights, and its not swearing, joe.
i love that in his stupid ass “im going to say motherfucker and its going to be badass like clint eastwood” brain he went hmm whats cool, oh i know veterans. let me make a cool badass action horror movie about boomer veterans killing eeeviiil
spooooky millennial drug addicts. what a fucking loser. this shit even ends with a thank you for your service message, in case you thought maybe he was just trying to…
Die „Arm-Sequenz“ in Green Room hat mehr Impact als alle Szenen in VFW zusammen - was aber auch nicht wirklich schwierig ist, weil gefühlt mehr geredet wird als in Die 12 Geschworenen, das Gelaber dieser Unterschichten-Expandables aber nie über pathostriefende Kriegs-Anekdoten und müde Oneliner hinausgeht. Was ist das für eine Welt, in der selbst ein Film über Drogenzombies, die eine Bar stürmen, 30 Minuten Exposition braucht?
Den wenigen Action-Szenen fehlt es an jeglichem Gespür für Räumlichkeit, sodass sie sich wie Royal Rumble mit Ketchupflaschen anfühlen und die wenigen Gewaltspitzen werden blitzschnell weggeschnitten, während die obligatorischen Äxte im Kopf mit dazugehöriger Blutfontäne genüsslich ausgekostet werden. Ja, so geht der heitere Festivalspaß aka Stockholm-Syndrom.
VFW ist wie die Leute, die sich bei…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Lo que en un comienzo, cuando apareció The Witch (El terror, bien o mal, denominado "Arty"), parecía ser una cara fresca, hoy en día se tornó un desgaste que no dista demasiado de las inflaciones que sufrieron algunas películas de las que parecían oponerse.
Ya son más las películas de terror de personajes fríos, apáticos, que en algún momento gritan, con encuadres lindos - algunos realmente muy lindos, hay que decirlo -, que miran más al cine de Tarkovsky que al de Craven - que parece ni haber sido visto, en realidad -, que se enorgullecen de no tener jump scares (cuando desde El Exorcista hasta Rosemary´s Baby hasta Halloween tienen jump scares y no es ninguna mala palabra si…
A sort of ‘Expendables’ for your favorite B-Movie old timers (in that they beat the shit out of people).
This isn’t a homage to the Grindhouse era with a wink at the audience...this belongs right next to it’s 70’s brethren.
Big on guts and grue, but unfortunately low on lighting to see the newly exposed viscera.
Surprisingly sweet for a movie where multiple people get an axe stuck in their skull.
