The latest Fangoria-produced film, VFW, directed by Joe Begos (Bliss) and written by Max Brallier and Matthew McArdle, will release on DVD and Blu-ray next month. The film’s cast includes Stephen Lang (Don’t Breathe), William Sadler (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey), Martin Kove (Cobra Kai), David Patrick Kelly (The Warriors), George Wendt (Cheers), and Fred Williamson (From Dusk till Dawn).
‘VFW’ is set in the near future where the city has been reduced to a dystopian wasteland due to the scourge of “Hype,” a powerful narcotic that induces a simultaneous euphoric and aggressive state in its users. Kingpin Boz (Travis Hammer) impulsively asks a hyper to commit suicide for his own amusement; later, the girl’s teenage sister, Lizard (Sierra McCormick), slips into Boz’s lair and steals his Hype supply in revenge.
Lizard flees across the street to a decaying VFW hall, where she encounters Vietnam veteran Fred Parras (Stephen Lang) and a contingent of ageing soldiers who spend their days reminiscing about their lost youth, growing irrelevancy, and impending deaths. Presented with a final battle and opportunity to go down fighting rather than pass away ignominiously from old age, Fred and his men decide to protect Lizard and wage a final war against Boz, his henchmen, and the hypers.
VFW is now available on Digital Download and will available on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 6th. Pre-orders are now available on Amazon. Be sure to check out our review of the film here.
