## Production
**Filmmaking approach.** Writer-director William Kaufman, whose earlier credits include *[Warhorse One](https://www.edgepedia.org/warhorse-one)* and *[The Marine 4: Moving Target](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-marine-4-moving-target)*, built the film as a stunts- and practical-effects-driven homage to genre staples such as *Aliens* and *Predator*.[7](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/osiris-film-review) The alien makeup effects were designed by Todd Masters, a prolific creature-effects artist whose recent work includes *Final Destination: Bloodlines*.[7](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/osiris-film-review) Critics noted that the aliens physically resemble the smaller foot-soldier xenomorphs of [James Cameron](https://www.edgepedia.org/james-cameron)'s *Aliens*, creatures that can be played by a performer in a suit, and several reviews treated this practical, fella-in-a-suit quality as one of the film's strengths.[8](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/22/osiris-review-linda-hamilton)
**Crew and filming.** The cinematographer was Mark Rutledge, the editor Sara Kaufman, and the composer John Roome.[9](https://sitgesfilmfestival.com/en/film/2025/osiris) • [10](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt31179712/credits/) Production companies included Denton Film and Roosevelt Film Lab.[2](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/osiris) According to cast member David B. Meadows, most of the movie was filmed in New Orleans, with the opening combat scene shot over three nights in [Austin, Texas](https://www.edgepedia.org/austin-texas), in August heat while the cast wore body armor.[11](https://www.actionreloaded.com/an-exclusive-talk-with-david-b-meadows-part-2/) A podcast interview with Kaufman and producer Christian Sosa described turning a New Orleans soundstage into the spaceship and shooting large firefights on an indie budget.[12](https://podcasts.apple.com/ru/podcast/inside-osiris-how-william-kaufman-brought-sci-fi-carnage/id1700794002?i=1000718977224)
## Release and classification
The film opened in Malaysia on June 27, 2025, and received a limited theatrical release in the United States and Canada on July 25, 2025, the same day as its digital release; it reached Singapore on July 31 and Australian internet platforms on August 19, 2025.[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31179712/releaseinfo/) In the United Kingdom, Signature Entertainment released it on digital platforms from July 28 and on DVD and Blu-ray on September 1, 2025.[8](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/22/osiris-review-linda-hamilton) • [13](https://mybloodyreviews.com/osiris-2025-review/) The British Board of Film Classification classified the film on June 23, 2025 for physical media and VOD/streaming, with content advice for strong gory injury detail, violence, language, and threat.[5](https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/osiris-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0xmdmwnzky) In the United States it later streamed on Hulu and was available for digital rental and purchase.[14](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/osiris-2025) Osiris screened in the Panorama section of the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia as its Spanish premiere.[9](https://sitgesfilmfestival.com/en/film/2025/osiris)
## Reception
**Critical response.** On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a 50% Tomatometer from 18 reviews, with 9 fresh and 9 rotten, and a 47% Popcornmeter audience score from more than 100 ratings.[2](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/osiris) Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave it 2.5 out of 4 stars, calling it a science-fiction siege thriller that pits the commandos against laser-blasting aliens, praising Kaufman's detailed action scenes while finding the one-liners strained.[7](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/osiris-film-review) Catherine Bray of *The Guardian* described it as an entertaining-enough space-horror that is far from perfect and not original, but one that understands its assignment and delivers, singling out the practical creature effects and Linda Hamilton's performance.[8](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/22/osiris-review-linda-hamilton) IGN's review was more negative, calling the film an *Aliens* retread that brings the firepower and little else.[15](https://www.metacritic.com/movie/osiris/)
**Hamilton's role.** Reviewers noted that although Hamilton's presence anchored the marketing, her character does not appear until roughly an hour into the film, an "and Linda Hamilton" credits situation.[8](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/22/osiris-review-linda-hamilton) Her casting as a tough, uncompromising military survivor was widely read as another nod to James Cameron's work, given her role in the *Terminator* franchise.[8](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/22/osiris-review-linda-hamilton)
**Box office.** [Box Office Mojo](https://www.edgepedia.org/box-office-mojo) records a worldwide gross of $45,972, all of it from international markets, with the earliest release date listed as July 25, 2025.[10](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt31179712/credits/)
