American slasher ‘Onslaught’ scores early praise with fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating ahead of Malaysian and US releases

Adam Wingard's upcoming action-slasher, Onslaught, has garnered early acclaim, boasting an 83% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its theatrical debut. This violent, synth-infused film, blending genre influences, is said by IGN to be a "violent, synth-driven action-horror production with grindhouse influences," reminiscent of John Carpenter's work.

The film, set to release in the United States on September 4, 2026, and in Malaysia through Antenna Entertainments, is connected to Wingard's previous works, The Guest (2014) and You’re Next (2011). It follows a sniper protecting her child from genetically enhanced soldiers released from a secretive military operation.
