Deathstalker

Deathstalker, a famed swordsman, plucks a cursed amulet from a battlefield strewn with bodies. The trinket radiates dark magic that marks him for danger, drawing a wave of brutal hunters and monstrous assassins to his trail. With the power he possesses and the threat it summons, he is forced to confront a growing evil that feeds on fear. To lift the curse, he must unravel the amulet’s origins and survive the relentless pursuit, all while choosing whom to trust in a world where every ally may harbor a hidden agenda.

Directed by Steven Kostanski, Deathstalker leans into practical effects and classic sword and sorcery sensibilities. Daniel Bernhardt leads as Deathstalker, joined by Christina Orjalo, Paul Lazenby, Nicholas Rice, and Patton Oswalt provides the voice of Doodad.
