What is Deathstalker about?

“In Deathstalker, the Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege by the Dreadites, heralds of the long-dead sorcerer Nekromemnon,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “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!”

The remake is written and directed by Steven Kostanski (The Void, PG: Psycho Goreman). The cast is led by John Wick and Nobody 2 star Daniel Bernhardt as the titular character and the titular Deathstalker, and Patton Oswalt (The Sandman, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) as the voice of the benevolent wizard Doodad. Joining them are Christina Orjalo, Paul Lazenby, Nina Bergman, Jon Ambrose, Matthew Ninaber, Conor Sweeney, and more.

Showcasing epic battles led by dashing heroes against an onslaught of human, monster, and supernatural enemies, Deathstalker also features a score by Blitz//Berlin, with an original song by Slash and Bear McCreary. The creative also includes editor Robert Hyland and cinematographer Andrew Appelle. The reimagining of Roger Corman’s cult sword and sorcery film series is produced by Avi Federgreen, Michael Paszt, and Pasha Patriki, with Guns N’ Roses member Slash serving as an executive producer.
