Exclusive 35mm Engagement – One of a Small Handful Nationwide
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. Adam Wingard (YOU’RE NEXT, THE GUEST) returns to his genre roots after a brief foray into big budget entries in the GODZILLA VS. KONG franchise with this nifty nostalgic riff on 80s action flicks. Quoting directly from James Cameron’s TERMINATOR films and John Carpenter’s ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, this intense exercise in over-the-top action/horror (with more than a little touch of humor) would feel right at home on the New Release shelf of your local video store circa 1986.
“ONSLAUGHT finds action-horror auteur Wingard in peak form… An utter pleasure for anyone who has a soft spot for ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK or other classics about an imperfect hero who has to make a near-impossible last stand against the enemy. The fact that it'll also leave you thinking about the military's relationship to traumatized veterans and the American public is just the icing on the bloody cake.” —Gabrielle Moss, Collider “ONSLAUGHT rips. Adam Wingard's ode to '80s action movies features stellar performances, cool villains, and a down-and-dirty feel that make it a very easy recommendation…. For those with a taste for debaucherous mayhem in your cinema, pure and crazy… Onslaught, baby!” —Tom Jorgensen, IGN “Wingard isn't remotely shy about this being a love letter to the early works of Carpenter…. A synth-draped, unabashedly violent, grindhouse-y grab bag of Carpenter-esque elements that makes this feel like the single greatest John Carpenter movie that John Carpenter never made.” —Ryan Scott, Slash Film
