The true strength with this blast of a film is that everything is so unexpected. Read full review

James Berardinelli

I enjoyed The Osiris Child enough that, when it stopped with the complete story half-told, I felt a flash of irritation. For that reason, until more is made (if more is made – a prospect that seems questionable at best), I can’t really recommend The Osiris Child. Read full review

Given the audacity, gusto and hell-for-leather filmmaking on display, the prospect of subsequent installments does not seem unreasonable. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

While the storytelling, by Abbess and co-writer Brian Cachia, might lack novelty and, occasionally, coherence, visually the film consistently impresses with creative art direction and costume choices. Read full review

Chris Packham

Such is the case of The Osiris Child, a series of scenes that cut away from interesting developments to flashbacks with a vengeance, as though “interesting developments” killed director Shane Abbess’s dog. Read full review

More like a 6.5 for me, but I’m going to round up because it did a pretty good job even with a low budget. There is a lot of crap sci-fi out there but this one was well acted and overall enjoyable.

Don't be fooled by the low budget, this is a worthy sci-fi thriller with good drama as an extra seasoning and the effects look good. The acting is on par and the story is interesting and believable.

The acting is on par and the story is interesting and believable. You don't even have to enjoy sci-fi since the setting plays out on an earth-like planet without too much sci-fi fuzz to worry about. There are some action scenes and violence but this is mainly a thriller/drama centered story that even chicks should be able to appreciate.… Expand

I got this DVD based on a review in Sci-fi.com. It's not terribly bad for a grade "C" production. What is more important is the underlying theme of genetically engineering creatures to be used for extermination. Have he seen or heard this theme before?

Quite good science fiction movie but without fireworks. In my mind this kind of “first part of series” should be thrilling and full of potential for extension of the subject but in this case we have poor CGI, average acting and many loops in the plot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After watching the movie and reading some reviews, it seems many give it high praise for its vision. Full stop - can't award points on vision. The plot was just a cheaper version of many other movies and shows (Serenity, Riddick, et al.) The plot was hard to follow and full of holes. SPOILER ALERT: how are genetically-engineered monsters who zombify humans into becoming monsters supposed to help colonize future worlds? If there's a secret antidote or kill-switch, explain it better. The ending is one big, poorly explained cliff hanger. It's hard to suspend disbelief if you care more about aerial dogfights and hillbilly gunfights than cohesive story telling.… Expand

Comme série ou plutôt comme mini-série ou même une micro-série (3 épisodes de 4 mn) ça pourrait passer en fermant les yeux mais en tant que film entier, Osiris est complètement à la masse.

Les comédiens quant à eux sont carrément à l'ouest mais le pire concerne ce scénario totalement bidon de A à Z... c'est un gamin de CM2 qui s'en est occupé ? putain que c'est ridicule et que ça sonne creux en plus de sonner faux ! c'est de la SF de supermarché au rayon soldé et pourtant les effets sont tout-à-fait présentables...

Mais si la coquille est assez jolie, elle est vide : c'est comme un Kinder Surprise sans la surprise à l'intérieur, vous imaginez le désappointement... On aimerait en rire et on y cherche matière à rigolade, y compris à des degrés très élevés... Hélas, c'est tellement sérieux cette affaire que ça fait pitié !… Expand

Cringeworthy. Worst movie I have ever seen. Terrible editing, awful screen writing. Just awful.
