“The new “Deathstalker” is a raucous blast of dweeby, monsterific, low-budget energy with more imagination than most modern blockbusters.” William Bibbiani, TheWrap
“Deathstalker wears its cinematic reverence on its sleeves, delivering a love letter to practical effects and bygone sword & sorcery epics.” Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
“Simply put, Deathstalker rips. With a healthy dose of humor, gleeful heapings of gore, impressive action, and a reverence for its cheesy VHS tracking-streaked forefathers, there’s nary a fault here.” Adrian Torres, The Pitch
Starring Daniel Bernhardt with Patton Oswalt
Executive Produced by Guns N’ Roses’ Slash
Critically-Acclaimed Reimagining of Roger Corman’s Sword and Sorcery Cult Favorite Available On Blu-ray February 17

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