Christopher Patrick "Chris" Gore is a speaker and writer on the topic of independent film.

Gore 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 which he started in 1985. He was also the editor in chief of Videogames Magazine from 1993-1995. During this time, he also made his first television appearances on the Jones Computer Network, the network television precursor to ZDTV, as a editorialist and commentator on the state of video games and society.

He appears on the G4 television program Attack of the Show. 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 with Chris Gore, also on FX, in 2000, where a panel mixed between critics and celebrity guests reviewed movies. G4 then based a recurring gag in an August 2010 episode of Attack of the Show on the murder of Chris Gore, bringing up three potential murderers each furthering the idea that his movies are horrible and that everyone wanted to kill him.

Gore attended Kimball High School in Royal Oak, Michigan (now renamed Royal Oak High School after the closing of Dondero High School).

Gore co-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, The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and The Complete DVD Book: Designing, Producing and Marketing Your Independent Film on DVD. Gore also created the defunct Wild Cartoon Kingdom magazine and co-created Sci-Fi Universe magazine.

In 2009 Gore signed on to host a reality talk show called Hollywood on the Rocks produced by Mini Movie Channel and distributed by Ovation TV.

Gore currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
