Due to the Holiday and work, this one is late.
That said, I waited Decades for a new Deathstalker, so this is nothing...
He takes an amulet from a dying man and gets dragged into a quest (of mostly self-preservation).
He teams up with a Wizard named Doodad (voiced by Patton Oswalt) who can translate the runes.
Familiar, this shot is.
It wouldn't be a Deathstalker Film without a Pigman.
This one is- sadly- not Stock Footage from the 1st Film, unlike his appearance in the other 3 Films.
Our Hero is beset by many assassins and creatures since the Amulet is this Film's magical MacGuffin.
A slew of crazy creatures and effects- this is definitely from the Director of Psycho Goreman!
Twists and turns.
Freaky monsters.
What else will Deathstalker face?
Is he up to the task of stopping the evil that threatens the Kingdom?
Can he even survive this?
To find out, stream this one now!
A fun and crazy Film in all of the right ways.
If you don't know, I've definitely become a fan of Steven Kostanski in recent years. Frankie Freako was fun. Psycho Goreman was a worthy (if not intentional) follow-up to The Guyver.
Oh, and full disclosure, I was part of the Kickstarter on this one. I have the Digital Matte Paintings to prove it.
This Film works because it gives you everything you hope for in a Film like Deathstalker. Crazy Monsters, a gruff (and buff) hero, a Wizard or two.
There are clear homages to Films of the Genre and even fringe ones like Conquest or Army of Darkness here.
Was it made cheaply? Relatively. Do they redress/reuse Sets? Obviously.
Do I care? Hell no!
Do I care? Hell no!
If you're a fan of the OG Series or just like his other, bloody Films, check this one out!
A fun homage to Sword and Sorcery with modern effects. It's no Fantasy Epic, but it is a bloody good time!
