What to Know

Critics Consensus

Drenched in gonzo old-school gore effects and stylishly crafted action, Onslaught unleashes a story that ultimately lacks the substance and primal fury its title promises.

Audience Says

While some story points may feel undercooked, Onslaught is a fun grindhouse throwback that splatters fans with blood, guts, and a glorious female protagonist.

The production value feels like it's very much there. I see a whole lot of confident filmmaking, but because I'm such a big fan of Adam Wingard and the team that he often works with, I expected more from a movie like this. Go to Full Review

I was more than happy to watch Wingard get down in the mud and craft abhorrent sequences of action-heavy cruelty. Go to Full Review

The film feels needlessly complex. Rather than just delivering on its clean setup, it becomes fixated on teasing future installments—a symptom of the obsession with sequelization that’s affecting even smaller genre films. Go to Full Review

2/5
The writing is spare but pointed; the direction is sharp and stimulating; the acting accepts the assignment of being stylized satire. And then it loses its grip as it devolves into an inferior example of grindhouse. Go to Full Review

It has some terrific action blocks that embrace a movie logic/vibe wholeheartedly, as well as some interesting characters, but they all remain scattered, never able to communicate a coherent, punch idea that is worth the billing. Go to Full Review

Lisa 1 day ago Onslaught to me was a good movie. I loved the main character attitude and how tough she was. It was good seeing Carl Winslow the family matters. I liked his character as well. I thought the movie was everything it was portrayed to be about. It wasn’t outrageous or over the top. It seemed like very accurate of something like that would happen. Action packed and keeps you interested throughout the whole movie. See more Mr Hollywood Sep 18, 2026 Fun movie. Some cool action scenes to make it worthwhile. Good old fashioned action movie See more Charles A Sep 17, 2026 Has a subplot that really adds nothing to the film but I guess they wanted that actor in this. See more Alex Arevalo Sep 16, 2026 Highly disappointed. Expected more from A24 and left with my expectations to the floor. So much potential but was rushed, I wanted more doctor tbh but that’s just me See more FatDudeDigsFlicks Sep 15, 2026 I do wish this would have been a little more of a gonzo Grindhouse kind of movie, but as an 80s John Carpenter action homage, it was still a good time. A wild supersoldier story, Onslaught blends a lot of different genres into one and the mixture is mostly successful. Adria Arjona is great and hopefully this paves the way her to get more lead roles. There’s a really fun supporting cast on hand including Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, and Drew Starkey. Reginald Veljohnson is here, as well, and my heart did somersaults getting to see Carl Winslow fire a gun. A slick and enjoyable movie, even if I wanted to like it a little bit more. See more Susan Sep 13, 2026 It was not a good movie, very low budget film, waste of money, See more Read all reviews
