The moment Millenium Media revealed it had a newHellboymovie in the work , everyone question how it would stand out . Guillermo del Toro ’s duology were like pulpy fairy tales , while the2019 reboottried for a more activity - horror knack , to sundry result . This new movie , The Crooked Man , has more of a supernatural horror bent , and it looks like it might do a good job ?
coiffure in the fifties , this new flick cast Hellboy ( Jack Kesy ) in a rural Appalachian community with fellow BPRD agent Bobbie Jo Song ( Adeline Rudolph ) . While making friends with some of the locals — namely Tom Ferrell ( Jefferson White)—the duo realize the community has a witch problem that ’s making all kind of uncanny thing happening . You ’ve seen visions of dead people before , but you ’ve never see a raccoon doing its bestChestbursterimpression . ( If you have , then you ’re watch much more interesting horror than most other masses . )
Despite the spooky frame-up , Crooked Mandoes front like it ’ll be some schlocky fun . Having the very devil - reckon Hellboy natter it up with a non-Christian priest while loading up his gun is some honest stuff , ditto watching him suplex a Snake River and pop its top dog like a pimple . If the movie can espouse those two tones together , it might bump a self-colored consultation the last reboot did n’t , aid by openly advertise itself as an adaption of the democratic miniseries byMike Mignolaand Richard Corbin . If only half the trailer wasn’tso darkto the full point that Hellboy and other characters look like blobs .
