Happy Halloween! Dan Stevens is officially reuniting with The Guest director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett on gonzo actioner Onslaught, THR reports today.

Blink Twice star Adria Arjona and Brazilian mixed martial artist Alex Pereira star in the A24 film.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Onslaught is being described as “a gonzo action horror thriller.”

Character details also give insight on what to expect. THR reports that “Arjona is starring as a mother who falls back on a particular set of skills in order to protect her loved ones after she runs afoul of a threat that has escaped a secret military base. Pereira will play a character called The Butcher, and bring his set of skills – including anaconda chokes and roundhouse kicks – to his meaty role.”

As for Stevens? The actor will play a German scientist working on the experiments that escape, not unlike his role in this year’s Cuckoo.

It’s been a busy year for Stevens in the genre space. The actor is fresh off of roles in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Abigail, and Cuckoo.

Producers include Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company (RPC) banner alongside A24, Alexander Black for Lyrical Media, Wingard and Jeremy Platt for Breakaway Civilization, and Simon Barrett. Deadline’s report also notes this afternoon, “Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will serve as executive producers with A24.”

Adam Wingard’s directorial credits also include A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S, V/H/S/2, and Blair Witch, while Simon Barrett scripted all of the above. Barrett recently made his feature directing debut with Séance, and he wrote the upcoming Azrael starring Samara Weaving.

Shooting begins November in New Mexico, so expect to hear more about Onslaught soon. The casting news already indicates that the “gonzo action horror” won’t be hyperbole.
