If you loved The Guest and You're Next, I know you'll be into Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett's latest creative collaboration, which is as violent as it is weird in the best possible ways. Ahead of Onslaught's release to theaters on September 4th, I caught up with Adria Arjona, Adam Wingard, Drew Starkey, and Dan Stevens to discuss training for the film, character development, and coordinating the film's intense action sequences.
"When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super-soldiers breaks loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter."
Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, Onslaught stars Adria Arjona, Alex Pereira, Drew Starkey, Rebecca Hall, Reginald VelJohnson, Michael Biehn, Eric Wareheim and Dan Stevens.
