VFW's solid cast, deft direction, and surprisingly weighty subtext add extra heft to a gory thriller that should hold buckets of sanguine appeal for grindhouse fans.

VFW ultimately lacks the cinematic flair to be truly memorable. But the film succeeds on its own terms of being a nostalgic throwback to the days when such B-movies routinely opened on double and triple bills in urban grindhouses. February 13, 2020 | Full Review…

It's a regular intergenerational summit of a movie, bringing together a young director on the rise, a cast of veteran actors, and a recently relaunched magazine for an '80s exploitation throwback that's outrageous in all the right ways. September 26, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

"VFW" feels like it crawled out of a grimy, urine-soaked 1980s gutter. And I mean that in the best possible way. June 25, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

VFW is a low budget, DIY festival of blood and guts. When the gas hits the pedal, it's a full throttle drive into gore fueled mayhem and it's fun as hell. June 24, 2020 | Full Review…

As grindhouse cinema, it's solid and pleasing, but it is also saying something about the value of human connection and communitarian solidarity as the best treatment to collective malady, contra the fracturing pharmaceuticalisation of everyday life. June 20, 2020 | Full Review…

With a plugin play version of genre tropes, it spins a wheel of more celebrated films with the novelty of it throwing up some devil horns and exclaiming: "Old guys rule!" April 10, 2020 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Isn't for the faint of heart and while it might be a stretch buying these seniors fighting off hordes of twentysomethings, the cast make it worth checking out. April 3, 2020 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review…

It's unfortunate that the combination of small spaces and low light makes some of the action sequences hard to follow, and the film could do with losing ten minutes to tighten up the pace overall, but there's still a lot to enjoy. March 9, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Though not quite as magic as his previous film Bliss, Joe Begos once more proves that he's a force to reckoned with when it comes to mixing horror elements with punk rock aesthetics. March 8, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
