Adam Wingard (You’re Next, V/H/S) has made his very own Terminator(s) with Onslaught, which follows a mother (Adria Arjona) living in a trailer park who tries to protect her loved ones from a threat that has escaped from a secret military base, while mercenaries try to contain it.
Thankfully, the film will deliver the goods when it hits theaters this fall. The MPA has rated Onslaught R “for strong bloody violence, some gore, sexual material/nudity, and language.”
The cast is stacked with familiar genre faces. Joining Arjona are joined Dan Stevens (The Guest, Cuckoo, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire), Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator), Rebecca Hall (The Night House, Godzilla vs. Kong), Drew Starkey (Queer), Eric Wareheim (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!), Reginald VelJohnson (Die Hard), and UFC champion Alex Pereira, who reportedly plays a villain known as The Butcher.
While A24 has remained quiet about the film’s marketing rollout, everything we’ve heard about Onslaught suggests that Wingard and Barrett are returning to the kind of lean, aggressive genre filmmaking that made You’re Next and The Guest such fan favorites in the first place. The trailer certainly felt that way.
Experience the Onslaught when the film blasts into theaters on September 4, 2026.
