Wingard’s War-Set Slasher Delivers Guts and Flair, If Not a Tight Narrative

TL;DR Summary
Adam Wingard returns to his midnight indie roots with Onslaught, a 92-minute military horror-thriller led by Adria Arjona and Dan Stevens. It boasts visceral set-pieces, a striking visual style, and sharp central performance, but its three-pronged foe and uneven pacing yield a scattered narrative that undercuts its tension—nonetheless delivering enough midnight energy for horror fans.
