EXCLUSIVE: Adam Wingard on returning to horror with Onslaught after directing Godzilla x Kong
Onslaught director Adam Wingard discusses returning to horror, the John Carpenter films that inspired his new action-packed slasher, and working with Adria Arjona and Dan Stevens.
Director Adam Wingard returned to his horror roots with the action-packed slasher "Onslaught," following his blockbuster kaiju films with "Godzilla" and "Kong." The movie stars Adria Arjona as a U.S. Army sniper who protects her daughter from three murderous super soldiers who escaped from a military lab. Wingard drew inspiration from various films, including "Halloween III," "The Fog," "Terminator 2," "Aliens," and "Tremors," to create a tribute to the '80s grindhouse roots of the genre.
He found Arjona and Dan Stevens to be ideal for their roles due to their unique qualities that fit the character's personality.
