Fresh off its world premiere at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, director Steven Kostanski's (FRANKIE FREAKO; PSYCHO GOREMAN; MANBORG, CIFF 2011) DEATHSTALKER is a wild, and extremely fun, take on the Roger Corman-produced cult classic DEATHSTALKER from 1983.

The Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege by the Dreadites, heralds of the long-dead sorcerer Nekromemnon. When Deathstalker (Daniel Bernhardt, JOHN WICK, THE MATRIX RELOADED) recovers a cursed amulet from a corpse-strewn battlefield, he's marked by dark magic 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!
