Overview

• Daniel Bernhardt leads as Deathstalker, with Patton Oswalt voicing the goblin wizard Doodad and Christina Orjalo featured as the thief Brisbayne.
• The story launches with a cursed amulet binding itself to the title character in a besieged kingdom, setting off a quest for legendary relics without revealing key turns.
• Kostanski foregrounds suits, prosthetics, stop-motion, and 2D overlays, noting he personally built a large share of effects to stretch a low budget.
• Shout! Studios and Radial Entertainment are handling the U.S. theatrical rollout on Oct. 10, with Slash serving as an executive producer and contributing to Bear McCreary’s theme.
• Early reviews this week spotlight the nostalgic, creature-driven spectacle, with JoBlo calling it a fun homage and The Globe and Mail praising the craft while questioning the tonal balance.
