Steven Kostanski (Frankie Freako, PG: Psycho Goreman) may be one of the most purely entertaining filmmakers of our time, and he’s back this Halloween season with new movie Deathstalker, a reboot of the Roger Corman cult classic. Shout! Studios will be bringing the sword-and-sorcery film to theaters on October 10, and the trailer has arrived.
Watch the official trailer for Deathstalker below, which definitely looks like a movie from the director of Psycho Goreman. And in our world, that’s one hell of a compliment.
Steven Kostanski’s big screen reboot focuses on the fantasy setting, utilizing creature suits, prosthetic FX make-up and stop-motion animation from his Action Pants FX shop!
Daniel Bernhardt (John Wick, Nobody, Barry) stars as the warrior Deathstalker in what’s being described as “a newly reimagined installment of the cult sword and sorcery series.”
Here’s the official synopsis: “The Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege from The Dreadites, a mysterious horde of warriors, whose sudden appearance are rumoured to foretell the return of Nekromemnon, an ancient sorcerer long thought dead. Such times of chaos are times of fortune for men like Deathstalker, who, having broken ties with all guilds and banners, now ekes an existence from the spoils recovered in the wake of Dreadite attacks.
“Our story begins when Deathstalker unknowingly recovers an enchanted amulet from a corpse-ridden battlefield and finds himself cursed by an arcane magick. Now pursued by a monstrous clan of assassins at the behest of the Dreadite scourge, Deathstalker is forced into a perilous quest to reverse the curse and rid the realm of evil.”
Patton Oswalt (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) voices benevolent wizard Doodad.
