Osiris

What a waste of time!! I should learn by now that when a movie writer and director are the same, the movie is a flop. Cliche from beginning to end, roles and writing, it had a good budget to be better.

A cheap knock off from alien, predator and terminator but in a very very very bad way.

If you are a sci fi fan, don't watch it, it is borderline disrespectful .

Abandon all brains, ye who enter here - this must be your rule if you watch Osiris. The logic failures are too many to count: the aliens are heavily infected with the well-known Stormtrooper syndrome (like the terrorists in the beginning), and our heroes seem to have the unlimited ammo cheat. On top of that, they most of the time forget they got grenades to use or take the powerful alien guns from the dead and just use them... Anyway, if you're able to switch off your brain, you'll get some B-trash action that's entertaining to a certain degree. But in the last third, it runs out of steam and gets boring - too much bumbum and nothing else. In this sense, it reminds me of the last Wick movies, including Ballerina.

Still, the production isn't too bad, and the entertainment factor - if you like this kind of action movie - is okay. Like many movies these days, Osiris mostly lacks a well-written script, and the story and ideas feel like they were just "glued together" by some AI from other action and sci-fi films. To mind come movies like Predator, Pandorum, Doom etc.

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]

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.

This was b-grade Sci-Fi.. fun, not too deep, and something you'd watch when nothing else on. As others have said, it tries to be a mash of Aliens and Predator with more emphasis on Predator (I think). It is quite predictive, certainly no jump scares. But, it got me involved enough to scream "aim for the feet", a few times - if you have watched it, I'm sure that'll ring a bell. There is a lot of nostalgia in there, to be seen in it, but if you haven't seen those other movies, you wouldn't be missing out. Keep your expectations low, and you may enjoy the ride.. It's good enough to watch and perhaps bad enough to become a cult SciFi classic.. Only time will tell. I hope there is a director's cut of this, as it'd be interesting to see what was left out. Happy viewing!
