A24’s ‘Onslaught’ Is Now Streaming at Home: Adam Wingard’s Super-Soldier Horror Hits Digital Today

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2026 — Adam Wingard’s Onslaught is now a couch watch. A24’s super-soldier action-horror moves to digital and video-on-demand platforms today, October 6, 2026 — thirty-two days after it opened in U.S. theaters on September 4, according to The Kabar News. When To Stream had flagged October 6 as the expected VOD date ahead of time, while noting that A24 had not officially confirmed it; Bloody Disgusting’s horror database now lists the film as available to watch at home. For everyone who skipped the theatrical run — and judging by the box office, that was most people — tonight is the night to meet Celeste.

The storyA sniper against the lab’s mistakes

Adria Arjona stars as Celeste, a former U.S. Army sniper living with her young daughter in an isolated desert trailer community, The Kabar News stated in its coverage. Their quiet life breaks apart after genetically engineered soldiers escape from a secret military facility and begin attacking anyone who crosses their path. The official synopsis, as quoted by the outlet, says Celeste must use her military training to protect her daughter from the rogue unit — and the trailers show her fighting back with firearms and a chainsaw as the soldiers tear through homes in her neighborhood.

It is siege horror built on a maternal spine: a trailer park under assault by biological weapons. The trailer’s own pitch, as The Kabar News wrote, calls the soldiers “the human equivalent of a heat-seeking missile” — living munitions, programmed to locate and destroy. Bloody Disgusting’s database boils the premise down to its grindhouse essence, “when a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter,” as the outlet wrote.

The castCrybaby, Cockroach and The Butcher

The assault is led by three enhanced soldiers with horror-movie nicknames: Crybaby, Cockroach and The Butcher, played by Tyler Hall and Dave Campbell and, in the latter role, professional fighter Alex Pereira, according to The Kabar News. The casting choice for The Butcher is the headline grabber — Pereira, one of combat sports’ most feared strikers, steps into Wingard’s world as a living weapon, which is either inspired stunt casting or the most on-the-nose role of his career.

Behind the soldiers stands the science that made them. Dan Stevens plays scientist Hans Kammler, who appears to have a central role in developing the experimental fighters, The Kabar News added — reuniting Stevens with Wingard after The Guest and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The supporting cast, per the film’s official A24 listing cited by the outlet, includes Rebecca Hall — listed in Bloody Disgusting’s cast breakdown as Frau Hanna Kammler — along with Drew Starkey, Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson and Eric Wareheim, who appears as Kovacks.

The universeSame world as The Guest

Onslaught was written by Wingard with longtime collaborator Simon Barrett, who wrote the screenplay, and it sits in the same continuity as Wingard’s cult 2014 thriller The Guest — with Wingard saying he sees himself returning to this world again. Bloody Disgusting’s editorial framing went further, characterizing the film as completing Wingard and Barrett’s “military horror trilogy” — a sign that the duo’s long fascination with soldiers, secrets and violence has found its endpoint, at least for now.

Production took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and lasted just 35 days. In a note published by A24, Wingard described the project as a return to the more personal filmmaking style that defined his earlier work, according to The Kabar News — the lean, mean mode of You’re Next and The Guest rather than the blockbuster machinery of his Godzilla x Kong years. /Film interviewed Wingard about the film, pressing him on what worked, what didn’t, and the one regret he carries from the production. At 92 minutes, R-rated for bloody violence, gore and language, Onslaught is built for a lean evening watch — and it’s a genre film, through and through: Bloody Disgusting’s database gives it a 5.8 out of 10 across 28 reviews.

The numbersA rough theatrical run

Theatrical receipts were modest. Box Office Mojo had recorded approximately $3.36 million in worldwide ticket sales, according to The Kabar News — with per Wikipedia’s box-office tally the film grossing roughly $3.1–3.4 million against what Wikipedia lists as a $15 million budget. Reviews were split: ComingSoon noted a 54% Rotten Tomatoes critics score ahead of release, which put the film squarely in mixed territory — exactly the kind of divisive genre swing that often finds its audience on VOD rather than opening weekend. A 32-day theatrical window before digital is now the standard A24 playbook, and Onslaught’s swift jump to home platforms suggests the studio is betting the film’s second act starts tonight, not ended at the box office.

Where to watchDigital today

Onslaught is available on digital and transactional VOD platforms starting today, October 6, 2026. Availability, pricing and platform access may vary by market — it joins this week’s digital arrivals alongside Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which also swings onto digital today.
