A written summary appears once the title has a score.
Critics, per Wikipedia
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 37 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "A gleefully gory and deliberately silly reimagining, Deathstalker thrives on inventive creature effects and tongue-in-cheek performances, making it a chaotic but charming addition to the sword and sorcery genre." Catherine Bray of The Guardian described the film as a "loving remake" with "sensational low-budget creature design" and "lashings of goopy practical special effects".

It's SPACE RAIDERS and it will be one of four films for The RiffTrax Experiments Support us on Kickstarter: rifftrax.com/kickstarter
neutral · AI labelView post →DEATHSTALKER: If Peter Jackson circa BAD TASTE directed THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER or BEASTMASTER, this would be that movie. If you don’t scream “Fuck yeah!” to that description, we cannot be friends. @manster2099.bsky.social, this will be your favorite movie of the 21st Century, I guarantee it.
positive · AI labelView post →Are you sure we watched the same movie? No no no. No Deathstalker is a cool guy! He'd never- what? No. I honestly think you have watched an illegal movie from 1970s italy or something. Mhmm. Yeah there's a pig guy so th- What? No. Christ man no stop explaining it NOBODY in Deathstalker does that
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight I'm watching a film I've been excited for since I first heard about it. The 'DEATHSTALKER' remake (brought to you by Steven Kostanski and the same guys who did 'PSYCHO GOREMAN') starring Daniel Bernhardt in the lead. ⚔️

neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 43 years ago today (September 2, 1983) "Deathstalker" had a limited run in US theatres! The cult B-Action Fantasy flick was directed by James Sbardellati and stars Rick Hill, Barbi Benton (in her last feature film role), Richard Brooker & Lana Clarkson. Makeup F/X by the late John Carl Buechler!

neutral · AI labelView post →DEATHSTALKER (2025): An utterly joyous film, a celebration of everything silly and awesome in cheapo 80s fantasy cinema. This succeeds for two big reasons - Daniel Bernhardt’s exquisite deadpan badassery, and the fact that Steven Kostanski directs it like a delirious hard-R tokusatsu. Wonderful.

If you've never watched a film with FC, I highly recommend it as they're such a fun group. Their films start at 10pm ET and Fri & Sat are double features! 🖤🎥😊
neutral · AI labelView post →James Spader as the only good thing in a poorly titled sci-fi, the greatest silver screen film of all time, a movie about a guy who actually goes by “Deathstalker” and the quintessential 50s paranoia sci-fi picture. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #filmsky #letterboxd #hashtag

positive · AI labelView post →I remember staring at the Deathstalker tape in the video rental shop when I was kid, entranced by the Boris Vallejo painted cover. When I finally saw the film years later, boy was I disillusioned!
negative · AI labelView post →I'm loving this film so far: Lots of gore, fun practical effects, funny dialogue, quirky characters, many movie references, and cheese galore! What more could you ask for?! 😆😂 #Frightclub #Deathstalker
positive · AI labelView post →Deathstalker ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The movie doesn't bother to "improve" Deathstalker. It knows exactly what Deathstalker is and crafts a modern day love letter to the trashy subgenre that spawned Deathstalker. The only step-up it has is more confident stuntwork and imaginative, if intentionally camp, effects."
positive · AI labelView post →It’s so cool that in the movie Deathstalker (1983), his name is actually Deathstalker

positive · AI labelView post →#Watched Deathstalker (2025) - Quick check, is this actually a Deathstalker movie? 1. Is there a Pig-man? Yes! 2. Does it reuse footage from other Corman films? Yes! 3. Are there boobs? In the most technical sense, yes. It IS!!! So goddamn fun, they truly do not make ‘em like this anymore.
positive · AI labelView post →Ok, I had been avoiding the trailer because I always avoid trailers on principle, but it played in the movie theater last night, so I actually saw it and, … I am ready to watch THE FUCK out of Kostanski’s Deathstalker. God I love that guy.

neutral · AI labelView post →So, I watched Deathstalker II in my run of the Deathstalker movie series. I am exhausted, clearly, because I enjoyed the hell out of that. I am prepared to be eternally jealous of the folks who saw that as part of MST3K Live. Tomorrow, I watch Deathstalker III WITHOUT the MST3K riffs. (Hoo boy.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I love PSYCHO GOREMAN, so of course I had to watch Steven Kostanski's DEATHSTALKER. The film is very fun and gory and jam-packed with beautifully disgusting creatures. I rate the movie four out of four swords.

neutral · AI labelView post →The 2025 Deathstalker film with Daniel Bernhardt is some of the most fun I've had watching a new movie in a while. Gloriously silly, over the top violence and gore, and it's always fully aware of what it is and what it's trying to do. Plus, it has a pig man! 4 stars.
positive · AI labelView post →The Deathstalker remake/reboot promises something few dare to attempt...recreating a movie we all agreed was pretty bad. MORE ABSURD HEADBANDS!! reactormag.com/deathstalker...
neutral · AI labelView post →They did Deathstalker III for MST3K proper. Then for the live tour, they had originally scheduled the 1st Deathstalker movie, but after further review, they had some serious issues with the movie's content, so they went right on over to Deathstalker 2. Which, by the bye, has the best title drop:

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the original Deathstalker, from 1983. Pretty silly barbarian movie compared to Conan but it's worthwhile only because Lana Clarkson plays the Red Sonja-like character and spends most of the movie with her giant boobs out. Apparently this movie was on HBO constantly.
neutral · AI labelView post →#Watched Deathstalker III: The Warriors from Hell (1988) - As always, the Vallejo poster is miles better than the film. We get a glib new Deathstalker (future Baywatcher John Allen Nelson), a new sorcerer (Thom Christopher, with big Alan Rachins energy), and the always delightful Terri Treas. /1
