About Craig Elvy

Craig began contributing to Screen Rant in 2016 and has been ranting ever since, mostly to himself in a darkened room. After previously writing for various outlets, Craig's focus turned to TV and film, where a steady upbringing of science fiction and comic books finally became useful. Craig has previously been published by sites such as Den of Geek.

Craig is an approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes.

Industry Focus

Since joining the Screen Rant fold, Craig has been involved in breaking news stories and mildly-controversial ranking lists, but now works as a features editor specializing in movies and TV shows. Topics of note include Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings.

Favorite Media

The Godfather may not be the most original pick for a favorite movie, but Craig has also championed the underappreciated genius of Disney's High School Musical trliogy. He maintains that the Lost finale was wildly misunderstood, while also harboring an immense love of all things Alan Partridge.
