The second Millenium Media revealed it had a brand new Hellboy film within the works, everybody questioned how it might stand out. Guillermo del Toro’s duology have been like pulpy fairy tales, whereas the 2019 reboot tried for a extra action-horror bent, to blended outcomes. This new film, The Crooked Man, has extra of a supernatural horror bent, and it seems prefer it may do a superb job?
Set within the Fifties, this new film places Hellboy (Jack Kesy) in a rural Appalachian neighborhood with fellow BPRD agent Bobbie Jo Track (Adeline Rudolph). Whereas making pals with a number of the locals—particularly Tom Ferrell (Jefferson White)—the duo understand the neighborhood has a witch drawback that’s making all kinds of bizarre issues taking place. You’ve seen visions of useless folks earlier than, however you’ve by no means seen a raccoon doing its finest Chestburster impression. (When you have, then you definately’re watching way more fascinating horror than most different folks.)
Regardless of the spooky setup, Crooked Man does seem like it’ll be some schlocky enjoyable. Having the very devil-looking Hellboy chat it up with a priest whereas loading up his gun is a few great things, ditto watching him suplex a snake and pop its head like a zit. If the film can marry these two tones collectively, it’d discover a stable viewers the final reboot didn’t, helped by brazenly promoting itself as an adaptation of the favored miniseries by Mike Mignola and Richard Corbin. If solely half the trailer wasn’t so darkish to the purpose that Hellboy and different characters seem like blobs.
Directed by Brian Taylor and likewise starring Martin Bassindale, Joseph Marcell, and Leah McNamara, Hellboy: The Crooked Man involves theaters later this 12 months.
