Review of Deathstalker (1983) by Boris V — 25 Mar 2010

I heard about this movie trough the site 'cinemassacre'. The guy who manages that webpage had a hate/love relation with this movie. It is so stupid that it is enjoyable.

Deathstalker is a movie about a 'hero'. Well, our hero is nothing but a bad-acting raping killing barbarian but somehow he should be the good guy. You follow his quest to reunite three artifacts with which he can become 'the power' and defeat some evil socerer.

If you think this story sounds cliché: this is only the beginning. The actor is so lame it is funny. He has no facial expressions whatsoever (except for a suprised/schocked when he finds out he has raped a male guard that has been turned into a woman). Halfway he meets a friend, which you won't get to know. They go to a party of the evil magician, rape some woman, drink and have fun. Yes, his friend is supposed to be a funny type but he is motherfucker too: he is laughing amused at the party where women get raped and men get slaughtered. It is supposed to be funny but it just isn't. And that makes it funny, do you get me?

The special effects are the worst I've ever seen, the acting is terrible, the story is shit, the costumes are fake, there's no moral and there's no reason why the hero should be called a hero. Put this together and you get an unintended comedy. Enjoyable but one of the worst movies ever.
