Christian "Chris" Gore is a speaker and writer on the topic of independent film. He was born September 5, 1965 in Big Rapids, Michigan. He is the main writer and the founder of Film Threat, a project dedicated to covering independent and underground movies. He appears weekly on the G4 television program Attack of the Show in a segment entitled DVDuesday in which he reviews the newest DVD movies released that day. Previously, he did a film-related segment on a the weekly FX series, The X Show, and was the host and moderator of The New Movie Show, also on FX, in 2000, where a panel mixed between critics and celebrity guests reviewed movies in a format similar to that of Politically Incorrect.

His career in film-making started in 1977 in junior high school at Jane Addams Junior High School in Royal Oak, Michigan, where in a 7th-grade 10-week movie-making class, he collaborated with 3 other students to make a 3-minute stop-action animated film in 8mm format. He then attended Kimball High School (now renamed Royal Oak High School after the closing of Dondero High School).

Gore wrote and produced the film My Big Fat Independent Movie, a parody of other indie films.

His books include The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made (1999), The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, 3rd Edition (2004), and The Complete DVD Book: Designing, Producing and Marketing Your Independent Film on DVD (2005). Gore also created the defunct Wild Cartoon Kingdom magazine and co-created Sci-Fi Universe magazine.
