Adria Arjona Teases Onslaught, Man of Tomorrow, and Andor Possibilities

Adria Arjona discusses her role as Celeste in Adam Wingard's Onslaught, detailing the film's blend of 80s-inspired style, horror, and a mother‑and‑daughter survival arc shaped by Celeste’s PTSD, along with behind‑the‑scenes moments like a gun‑handling shot that nearly toppled the set and her real-life truck issues on filming days. She also hints at a cameo in James Gunn’s Superman follow‑up Man of Tomorrow, emphasizes loyalty to Tony Gilroy regarding Andor, and reflects on her collaborative process with Jason Momoa and the Hit Man project, noting that any future Bix/Cassian material would require Gilroy’s involvement.

Gory Grindhouse Thrill at Warps, But Onslaught Sidesteps the Payoff

Adam Wingard’s Onslaught leans into ’80s grindhouse vibes with brutal gore and brisk pacing, but while the gore is vivid and the cast strong (notably Arjona and Stevens), the film flounders on its central premise and character development, and the third act loses momentum, delivering a finale that feels earned but ultimately unsatisfying.

Wingard's Onslaught Delivers Vivid Shocks but Leaves Some Meat Behind

Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is a visually saturated action-thriller led by Adria Arjona as Celeste, a PTSD-stricken Army vet who must defend a desert trailer park from a trio of near-invincible super-soldiers; with Dan Stevens as a chilling villain and brisk, hard-hitting set-pieces paired with sharp sound design, the film delivers a visceral home-invasion vibe, but the second half feels underdeveloped and its hinted political ideas never fully pay off.

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

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.

Adam Wingard Revives 80s Desert Slasher Vibe in Onslaught with Adria Arjona

Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is a lean 90-minute action slasher that channels John Carpenter’s 80s vibe, with Adria Arjona delivering a gripping performance as a veteran mother facing genetically engineered soldiers; it delivers tense set-pieces and bloody thrills, but its first act drags and its politics feel underdeveloped, earning a solid B- from critics as A24 mounts a Sept. 4 theatrical release.
