Onslaught Movie Review

I had heard about the movie Onslaught (released September 4th of this year) on actor Michael Biehn’s podcast Just Foolin’ About With Michael Biehn.

Michael has a small part in it and I believe actually met or certainly got closer with the director of the movie, Adam Wingard, when he had him on the podcast.

The plot of the movie is pretty basic, in which a trio of soldiers who died in battle but were brought back to life in an experiment (think Universal Soldier) to make them essentially super soldiers.

These soldiers ultimately go amok and go on a killing spree, ending up in a small trailer park out in the desert and they go up against some of the occupants there.  Two of which are former soldiers themselves (Adria Arjona and Reginald VelJohnson).

Don’t expect an Oscar winning movie here.

It is a basic action movie, like the ones I grew up loving in the 1980s and 90s and still love today.

It’s well shot and the music score is good (think John Carpenter, actually the font throughout is very Carpenter too).

I’m not going to say it’s a great movie, but it’s a good action movie and I enjoyed it.

I took some pictures of when Michael was on screen.  I couldn’t help it.
