Onslaught review
There’s a committed performance from a spunky Adria Arjona in the Guest director Adam Wingard’s decent B-movie but it’s missing some sharper weaponry
TL;DR
- Director Adam Wingard returns to indie filmmaking after directing large-budget franchise films.
- His new film, "Onslaught," is described as an "A-plus B-movie" with A-list polish.
- The movie features genetically engineered super soldiers unleashed on a small desert population.
- Adria Arjona stars as a single mother who must defend herself and her daughter.
- The film is noted for its polished look but is criticized for lacking sufficient action and gore.
- Wingard's restraint in depicting violence is seen as a drawback for an action slasher.
- The film attempts to blend action and slasher genres, but ultimately falls into an unsatisfying middle ground.
