Onslaught

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.

Like its big baddies, the bruising "Onslaught" is lacking one major element: a brain. Go to Full Review
Alissa Wilkinson New York Times 2d
If “Onslaught” had something insightful knocking around in its brain, I might have felt differently. But promising viewers violence and then getting distracted by style over any substance while pretending to make a serious point feels icky. Go to Full Review
Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 2d
3.5/5
Luckily, unlike most directors who try to ape the Eighties through neon pastel color palettes, Wingard goes for the old school gonzo action jugular, revving everything up with Matthew Pusti’s martial metal score. Go to Full Review

6/10
[...] much sleazier, goofier, and more melodramatic than anything [The Guest] had to offer. But if you like to drink the B-movie bottom shelf liquors of the cinema world, Onslaught has that taste you’re going to love getting genre drunk on. Go to Full Review

A hardcore action flick with offbeat appeal. Go to Full Review

4/5
The finished product is an ultra-violent, sensationalistic, genre-warping delight that unapologetically immerses itself in the scuzzy grindhouse style. And I was hooked every step of the way. Go to Full Review

David 4h Grindhouse at its finest w/ simple plot but great action. See more Ralph Sintilus 5h Great action thriller See more Marcus 6h This was a great popcorn movie. The actor did an amazing job displaying PTSD while highlighting the aftermath of war, that most veterans go through when returning from war. Her ability to show her daughter her god like skill set while protecting the loves the most.i love the 80's nostalgia of action...guns, and bravery,, which just of pinch of satire. See more Chris 6h Not great at all sorry See more Jerry 7h Fell short of my expectations. Great premise but wasted the opportunity for a female action star to really shine as well as other actors talents wasted. See more Kenneth P 10h Basically a movie about escaped super soldiers. Wait for streaming See more Read all reviews
