Osiris

The film "Osiris" had a production budget of $6.7 million, primarily spent on location filming in Louisiana. The film was shot in New Orleans and completed principal photography in late 2023. Vertical acquired the distribution rights in May 2025.

This movie isnt as bad as people make out i'd say if you like predator you'll like this. They could have cut about 15 mins of gun fights out the movie to hit the 90min mark.

The reviews on this page are terrible!! One guy thinks these are great actors, another doesnt remember the aliens getting shot in the feet, a few never even watched the movie one somehow missed that the running time 105MINS AND STATED ITS 90MINS what movie did he watch? One says they never run out of bullets or get hit i assure you they do on both statments. One guy moans and says "You'd think sci-fi would be a playground for imagination, but instead, we get yet another group of amnesiac U. S. soldiers, guns blazing, grunting their way through" (unfortunately buddy stephen hawkins himself stated if aliens come here theres a high possiblitly this is whats happening, its not matthew mcconaughey pulling string theory in a black hole.) and another seems to think this is straight out of hollywood!!! This is a low budget sci fi film... what ignorant world are these clowns living in? They clearly didnt watch the movie and scored it 1/10.

Its a shame its getting bombed i would have liked to have seen more with a bigger budget.

Never even having heard about the 2025 movie "Osiris" prior to stumbling upon it. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and me giving essentially all movies a fair chance, of course I had to check out what director William Kaufman had to offer.

The movie definitely started out in a good way, lots of action from the very beginning and dropping the audience right into it. The good part about the movie was that the action was essentially non-stop. Most of the movie was combat, which definitely had some appeal to me, as I enjoy action. But at the same time, it also meant that this wasn't exactly a movie that thrived on having the most of in-depth and fleshed out world building. Not that it needed it, in my opinion, but it would make for a boring viewing experience for a more refined audience, I suppose.

Now, you might say that "Osiris" felt like writers William Kaufman and Paul Reichelt borrowed extensively from the "Predator" franchise in certain ways. Yeah, there were lots of similarities throughout the movies to that particular franchise.

Of the entire cast ensemble in "Osiris", I was only familiar with Linda Hamilton. The acting performances in the movie were fair. Keep in mind that this was an all-out action movie from start to end, leaving little room for Shakespearian performances of thespian artisan levels.

Visually then the movie was good. It looked and felt like an alien-based environment, as the majority of the movie took place aboard of a space vessel. The alien design was okay, they were towering brutes, which I definitely liked. However, I have to say that their faces were a bit too primitive.

My rating of director William Kaufman's 2025 movie "Osiris" lands on six out of ten stars.

Beyond disappointed. I've never seen a movie with so much action that is so run of the mill that I was tired of seeing guns shot. No characters at all that you care about , you don't even remember one of their names. La Monica garret is so much better than this , this is Thomas from 1883, also in lioness ... 2 of the best Shows on television. Why he took this role is just as big of a mystery of why Linda Hamilton did this? She's got James Cameron money ? What do they have that they blackmailed her to be in this garbage? Clearly I love Aliens, and there is several scenes you can tell are a nod to aliens but just really poor execution. What made aliens - Aliens - was the actors , characters , creepy setting and the pulse rifles and advanced weaponry. This has the budget but just misses the mark On every single aspect that made Aliens One of the best sci fi action films of all time. Linda Hamilton is literally in 5 mins of the movie if that.

This movie seemingly came out of nowhere, and even though my expectations were not too high, I have to say that I was immediately interested. The plot summary sounded intriguing and felt like exactly my kind of movie. Sometimes these little trashy flicks with beloved stars who do not get good roles anymore turn out to be hidden gems.

Sadly, that was not the case with Osiris. The movie consists mostly of shootouts between soldiers and aliens, with poor lighting and messy editing. The characters were boring and one-dimensional, and the script felt lazy. I liked the design of the aliens and appreciated that they used mostly practical effects to bring them to life. I would have loved it if the aliens had a different combat style instead of just using some kind of blasters. There is one decently enjoyable hand-to-hand combat scene toward the end, which I definitely would have liked to see more of.

As I mentioned, the characters were not particularly interesting, and Linda Hamilton did not have much to do. So if you are planning on watching this movie because of her, you should probably reconsider. Overall, it is not a terrible movie, and I have to admit that it is actually right up my alley because I love films featuring aliens, especially when a group of people is roaming through an unknown environment. But this one was not able to catch my interest all that much.

For genre fans, it is a decent addition. Otherwise, you should probably skip this flick.

[5.5/10]

This is far better than it is being reviewed-nothing groundbreaking or original, but definitely a good watch.

Great cast, good story. I didn't fast forward once (that's a great sign). Itched my sci-fi scratch. The dialogue wasn't perfect, but the cast made it work.

At the end, I wanted to see more.
