This is DollarTree Hellboy. This is Heckboy.

Gotta remember, while this will obviously be low budget, it nevertheless fits the tone of the comics perfectly. In the comics, Hellboy was "the world's greatest paranormal investigator" and he always was an investigator first, superhero second. Not every single story involved him fighting some major threat to mankind with high stakes and intense action sequences. And as this is being made by the literal creator of the comics, I think it's safe to say he knows what he's doing.

I would shell out good money for a regular series of lower-budget, monster-of-the-week, paranormal investigation Hellboy movies. That would get me back into movie theaters regularly.

Hellboy comics: 80% solving a paranormal case (usually involving ghosts) by himself in a random part of the world and 20% life on the line stopping a world ending threat with crazy plot points that usually involve some Lovecraft deity or elements of Lovecraft
Hellboy movies: 100% world ending threats and 0% self contained
He works for the BPRD (bureau of paranormal research and defense) which is essentially the FBI for ghosts, monsters, and all sorts of other weird shit that people have forgotten about collectively and have relegated to the stuff of legends and bedtime stories to scare kids and make them behave. To me, this feels like a return to form like how The Batman did with reminding people through the story that he's the world's greatest detective, just like how Hellboy is the greatest paranormal investigator there is and that's his primary job. Obviously that job gets physical but half of those short stories involving just a simple exorcism or some cryptid, he uses his brain over brawn. I think the look of the movie is alright and it'll probably have character, but the tone and setting really match a lot of his comics. If he falls through a floor, they've done their research lol

Hang on a damn second. You're telling me that we're getting a low budget Hellboy horror movie written by Mike Mignola himself? Sign me the fuck up!

[jothamsmith]

I was surprised when I saw this but... Hellboy as an indie horror movie instead of a huge action blockbuster really fits the character.

[GettinTheBlues]

You need to give this a chance. Its set in the 1950's and Hellboy is younger, so thats why he looks a bit different. it might end up being pretty good.

[squallsrapture]

Okay but this actually looks INSANELY good. An actual hellboy horror movie written by the creator? Wtf

[Imtheone]

Soon as I saw "ketchup entertainment" I got worried lol

[ollysherratt]

The thing that gets me excited about this is that there are moments in the trailer that are ripped straight from the comic book story and that attention to detail is good. It shows the people making this are fans of the comics. I am very open minded because it’s known that this movie has a much lower budget than the others and the makeup genuinely doesn’t look bad. People are being harsh. Does it look cheaper?? 100%, but that doesn’t mean it looks bad. It’s easily the most comic accurate hellboy look

The Hellboy comics taught me to draw as a kid, and this looks like the movie I've been waiting for since then.
Witches and monsters in the woods.
The fate of someone's soul in the balance.
Let's

Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy and Dark Horse Comics, is fully on board with this film. Hell, Mike made the script to follow his comic of the Crooked Man. So, this is a faithful recreation with help from the creator himself. For the record, Hellboy was a dark horror comic—nothing flashy or fancy.

[gamesplan]

I literally said "what da f**k is this" when I saw the thumbnail😂🤣

[SHRBJHD]

When the creator of the character makes a film based on his own work and everyone shits on it. Looks like the best version of a Hellboy movie.

[metalheadrezdavis]

One of my favorite comics I owned as a kid and they look like they’re basing the movie directly off it sounds awesome

[big_folks]

Holy shit this reminds me of the animated movies when I was younger can’t wait

[BizarreNoob]

This movie looks really accurate to the source material. The push for a more horror take on hellboy is a BEAUTIFUL idea...especially since thats how the books are written.

[Nickm]

This looks weird. Like a fan made trailer. This is gonna bomb in the theatre's for sure. Will be on Netflix a month later.

[TheMeowingBird]

I was waiting for it to say shot on I phone

[Razor_n_scalpel]

There is just one thing common in the entire Hellboy franchise- The font.
