Movie Review: Despite its title, the slasher siege movie ‘Onslaught’ takes its time

Masked soldiers deployed on domestic soil and an air of conspiratorial paranoia give Adam Wingard's not-quite-grindhouse siege film “Onslaught” a contemporary pulse, even if this lean, B-movie thriller doesn't deliver much more than a flicker of its throwback promise. Wingard, though, does seem freshly liberated in this return to his low-budget thriller roots (“You're Next,” “The Guest”). He has since spent the last decade in more IP-managed releases: the 2016 “Blair Witch” sequel, a Netflix adaptation of “Death Note” and a pair of “Godzilla vs. Kong” movies. But the 92-minute “Onslaught,” written by Wingard and his regular collaborator Simon Barrett, is intentionally straightforward — to the point, you could say, of brainlessness. It's aiming for a very simple slasher setup in the mold of John Carpenter: A single mom and PTSD-riddled former Army sniper, Celeste ( Adria Arjona ), living in a desert trailer park, defends herself and her young daughter (Blake Kennedy) from an invasion of three highly programmed super-soldiers who have sprung out of a nearby military contractor facility. Even though “Onslaught” begins with a clock that's already ticking below 12 hours, the movie takes its time leading to a bloody finale that isn't quite worth the drumbeat. But Wingard is in no great hurry, and he lingers in the anticipation, for both better and worse.
