Adam Wingard’s ‘Onslaught’ Is Now Streaming at Home

Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is finally available to watch at home, giving horror fans the perfect opportunity to catch the bloody action thriller just in time for Halloween season.

Set in the same world as Wingard’s The Guest, Onslaught takes place around Halloween and carries plenty of the filmmaker’s signature blend of brutal violence, action, and dark humor.

The connection to The Guest becomes apparent almost immediately. Adria Arjona stars as Celeste, a troubled Army veteran suffering from PTSD who spends her days living at a remote desert trailer park, shooting guns and collecting rent from her tenants. Her already chaotic life takes another turn when her ex unexpectedly drops off their daughter, Daisy (Blake Kennedy).

Things become considerably more dangerous when three genetically enhanced super soldiers escape from a secret laboratory just north of the trailer park.

The soldiers were created by Dr. Hans Kammler (Dan Stevens), and their escape quickly turns into a bloody killing spree that puts Celeste and everyone around her in serious danger.

The cast also includes Rebecca Hall (The Night House, Godzilla x Kong), Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and UFC star Alex “Poatan” Pereira.

The screenplay was written by Simon Barrett, who previously worked with Wingard on You’re Next and The Guest.

A Spiritual Follow-Up to The Guest

Wingard has described Onslaught as the final chapter in a loose trilogy connecting The Guest, You’re Next, and the new film.

Rather than continuing the stories of the previous movies’ characters, Onslaught expands the mythology behind The Guest. The movie is set in the same town and explores other secret programs connected to the mysterious experiments that created David, Dan Stevens’ character in The Guest.

Stevens also returns in a very different role, playing Dr. Hans Kammler. In The Guest, the actor portrayed David, a mysterious former soldier who arrives in a small town carrying a dangerous secret and a hidden agenda.

While Onslaught isn’t a direct sequel, its setting and secret military experiments establish a clear connection between the two films.

For fans looking for something violent this Halloween, Onslaught delivers plenty of bloodshed. The movie is rated R for “strong bloody violence, some gore, sexual material/nudity, and language.”
