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.

3/4

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

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.

3/5

It’s not that "Onslaught" is bad—it’s frequently fairly entertaining—it’s just that it never gels the way it needs to in order to be as propulsive and captivating as it should be.

3/4

The film is short on plot but high on badassery, with Celeste rising to the occasion and fighting back in ways no one expected.

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.

Definitely style over substance. But the style was excellent from start to finish. If you like slashers, hot guys (including in tactical gear and masks), hot girls, and killer action - this movie is for you. The movie got a great sense of humor too.
