Linda Hamilton Returns to Sci-Fi with 'Osiris': A New Streaming Adventure

Linda Hamilton, an iconic figure from the "Terminator" franchise, takes on a new challenge in the sci-fi film "Osiris," where she faces extraterrestrial threats. Fans eager to see how this battle unfolds can now stream the film on WOW.

Hamilton stands out as one of the definitive stars of the "Terminator" series. Her portrayal of Sarah Connor has left a lasting impact, spanning 35 years from her debut in the original "Terminator" (1984) to her most recent appearance in "Terminator: Dark Fate" (2019). Many consider her the ultimate action heroine, rivaled only by characters like Ellen Ripley from "Alien" and The Bride from "Kill Bill."

Despite her storied career, Hamilton has not strayed from the action genre, recently appearing in popular series such as "Stranger Things" and "Resident Alien." However, for those who prefer explosive action over episodic storytelling, "Osiris" is now available for streaming on WOW, following its DVD and Blu-ray release in November 2025.

Similar to the original "Terminator," which was made on a modest budget of just over six million dollars, "Osiris" was also produced with limited resources. The trailer suggests visually appealing and atmospheric scenes, though the film has received mixed reviews, reflected in its 50% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have noted the film's commendable practical effects, which may compensate for a plot that feels pieced together from various sci-fi influences.

Overview of 'Osiris'

The storyline of "Osiris" is straightforward: a group of elite soldiers finds themselves aboard an alien spaceship, unaware of how they arrived. Their time to ponder their situation is short-lived, as they soon discover they are not alone and that a deadly hunt has begun.

William Kaufman directed the film, leveraging his military experience to establish himself as a B-action director known for his expertise in explosive special effects. Fans of direct-to-video entertainment may recognize him from titles like "Jarhead 3," "The Marine 4," and "Shrapnel."

Kaufman has also directed one of the standout action films of recent years. For insights into why "The Channel - Waffenbrüder" is a must-watch, check out the subsequent article by FILMSTARTS editor Björn Becher.
