Adam Wingard's 'Onslaught' Trailer Reveals A24's Super Soldier Action-Horror

Adam Wingard, known for genre-defining films such as 'You're Next' and 'The Guest', is making waves again with A24's 'Onslaught'. The new trailer, highlighted by Bloody Disgusting, teases a blend of action and horror as it introduces audiences to super soldiers described as akin to Jason Voorhees in their unrelenting menace. Set for a theatrical release on September 4, 2026, this film promises another adrenaline-fueled collaboration between Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, rekindling the cinematic chemistry seen in 'The Guest'.

With a plot that's been intriguingly dubbed "Sarah Connor versus Jason Voorhees", 'Onslaught' stars Adria Arjona as she faces off against these government-born killing machines. A24, known for its sharp take on the horror genre, seems to be backing a project that crosses the familiar boundaries between action and horror. As noted by FirstShowing.net, the film's premise captures a nostalgic energy reminiscent of 80s action-horror, a fitting nod to Wingard's flair for fusing genres.

This trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of Wingard’s latest vision, promising a visual and thematic tour de force that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of both horror and action. With A24's track record for embracing innovative and bold storytelling, 'Onslaught' could very well redefine what the horror-action hybrid subgenre can achieve in contemporary cinema.
