Subject

A remake of the cult classic 1983 sword and sorcery film, from the director of 'Psycho Goreman'

The Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege by the Dreadites, heralds of the long-dead sorcerer Nekromemnon. When Deathstalker (Daniel Bernhardt) recovers a cursed amulet from a corpse-strewn battlefield, he’s marked by dark magic and hunted by monstrous assassins. To survive, he must break the curse and face the rising evil. Death is just the beginning… of a great adventure!

Steven Kostanski’s (“Psycho Goreman”, “Frankie Freako”) remake of the Corman production “Deathstalker” (1983) adopts the ironic tone of the original, but adds a significantly larger portion of guts and gore, as well as dozens of lovingly designed rubber monsters and nightmarish creatures of all kinds.
