If you loved Mara, try VFW
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theyboth carry the dread, late night mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mara, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What VFW is
Dusty booths. Late shift. A ringing telephone. An army vet and his aging comrades defend their local VFW post. A young woman seeks refuge from a gang of drug-addled thugs. Mayhem ensues. Begos's hyper-violent siege film is a welcome throwback to 1980s genre fare.
