In a reboot of the classic Roger Corman‘s cult sword and sorcery film series, Deathstalker stars Daniel Bernhardt (John Wick, The Matrix Reloaded) as the titular character in this reimagined installment, with Patton Oswalt (Young Adult, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) providing the voice of the benevolent wizard Doodad.
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!
Directed by Steven Kostanski (The Void, PG: Psycho Goreman), Kostanski’s reboot focuses on the fantasy setting, utilizing creature suits, prosthetic FX make-up and stop-motion animation from his Action Pants FX shop. Slash and Rodrigo Gudino serve as executive producers under the BerserkerGang label.
Shout! Studios will release Deathstalker in theaters on October 10, 2025.
