DEATHSTALKER (englische OV) // Fantasy Filmfest

In the organizer's words:

DEATHSTALKER

The kingdom of Abraxion is on the brink of destruction. The undead dreadite armies of the magician Nekromemnon threaten to plunge the world into eternal darkness. A barbarian warrior known as the "Deathstalker" could help - but he doesn't want to. Until a cursed amulet forces him to embark on a dangerous quest into the heart of evil together with a goblin and a thief.

The success of CONAN (1982) spawned numerous epigones. One of these was the Corman production DEATHSTALKER - DER TODESJÄGER, which is considered by many to be a highlight of the "sword and sorcery" genre. The remake by the master of practical effects, Steven Kostanski (PSYCHO GOREMAN), adopts the ironic tone of the original, but dispenses with the flesh - in favor of a much larger portion of blood & guts as well as a multitude of lovingly designed rubber monsters and nightmarish creatures of all kinds. Power metal! Just like the title song by Slash.

Only a barbarian warrior known as "Deathstalker" can prevent the destruction of the kingdom of Abraxion. Steven Kostanski's (PSYCHO GOREMAN) remake of the Corman production DEATHSTALKER (1983) adopts the ironic tone of the original, but adds a significantly larger portion of guts and gore, as well as dozens of lovingly designed rubber monsters and nightmarish creatures of all kinds.
