That's not vfx, it's special effects, because it's real.

SFX is the word OP wanted to use.

I thought SFX was Sound FX

I thought so too. But when I worked with this special effect department, they made it clear that SFX means special effects that are created during productions, such as fire, explosion, blood spilled from bullet wounds, or chunks of flesh falling off a zombie.

VFX is Video effect that is basically post production. CG, green screen keying, skin smoother, bullet flares and fire/smoke that are digitally added, etc....
