  • HoH Review #87 - Deathstalker (2025) Film Review

    🔪🩸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.

Does it capture that authentic vintage dread, or is this not worth your time?

    💥🌲​Spark one up and join us as we review Dolly and see if this porcelain-masked killer is a new horror icon or just another toy left out in the rain.
