A24 has released a new Instagram video introducing the masked super soldiers at the heart of Adam Wingard’s Onslaught. The clip presents The Butcher (Alex Pereira), Crybaby (Tyler Hall), and the Cockroach (Dave Campbell), each named after their military backgrounds.
Split into three parts, the footage shows each killer in explosive, bloody action. Like the trailer, it positions the film as a balls-to-the-wall horror experience in the vein of The Guest, Halloween, and The Fog. Wingard returns to his more violent roots after years in the studio system.
What the new trailer reveals
The caption on the IG post—“Programmed to kill. Meet the super soldiers of Adam Wingard’s Onslaught”—signals the focus on the trio as central antagonists.
