Adam Wingard picked up on a thing or two in the years since making You’re Next and The Guest, both small-scale ventures that preceded his much larger efforts in the kaiju space with the likes of Godzilla. Nowadays, he’s leveling up the more grounded thrillers of his career with something equally explosive, as indicated by Onslaught, a new action horror flick with an official trailer finally making the rounds after touting a pair of posters.
When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.
This thing has the boom and the bang for all our buck. The music also slaps, and Arjona sounds amazing here. I like it and I’m sold.
Also starring are Alex Pereira, Drew Starkey, Rebecca Hall, Reginald VelJohnson, Michael Biehn, Eric Wareheim and Dan Stevens. Watch the trailer and catch Onslaught in theaters September 4.
