    Episode 153

    Show notes

    🔪🩸This week on High on Horror we’re stepping through a cursed portal to face off with a barbarian anti-hero and his trail of practical gore. A remake of the 1983 Roger Corman cult classic, Deathstalker delivers over-the-top creature effects, heavy metal riffs, and tongue-in-cheek swords & sorcery mayhem that feels like a lost midnight movie from the VHS era. Does it capture that wild, ridiculous 80s spirit and make it even bloodier, or is this quest better left forgotten?

    🔥🌲Spark one up and join us as we review Deathstalker 2025 and see if this muscle-bound, amulet-cursed warrior is a new fantasy icon or just another relic from the battlefield.
