Evil ‘Begins’ In The Hellboy: The Crooked Man UK Trailer

Evil has to begin somewhere, next month Icon Film Distribution will bring that beginning to cinemas with Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Today we get a glimpse of the film in the shape of it’s UK Trailer.

It’s been a long time since those Guillermo Del Toro films with Ron Perlman. Neil Marshall’s 2019 ‘reboot’ which had only one redeeming factor was David Harbour in the lead role.  With Crank director Brian Taylor directing and Jack Kesy as Big Red with creator Mike Mignola onboard.

Fans of The Dark Horse comic book will recognise the film is inspired by the graphic novel of the same name. Faithful to that book and it’s comic book origins (hence Mignola on script) with a focus on the horror elements.

For The Crooked Man we head back to the 1950’s, Hellboy is a rookie agent. He’s on a mission in the Appalachian Mountains which goes wrong. Pushing Hellboy and co to hunt down demonic forces and evil incarnate The Crooked Man.

Written by series creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy makes a blazing return to the big screen in a brand-new instalment of the global hit franchise that masterfully blends blood-soaked action with truly chilling horror.

In the 1950s, Hellboy is enlisted to aid rookie paranormal researcher, Bobbie Jo Song, in the transportation of a deadly creature. However, their mission soon goes awry when an accident leaves them stranded in the forests of rural Appalachia where a small community resides, haunted by demonic forces. With all clues pointing towards witchcraft as the culprit, Hellboy and his allies must hunt down the source of this evil – the ‘Crooked Man’ who has been sent to Earth to collect souls for the devil.

From director Brian Taylor (Crank, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) and starring Jack Kesy (12 Strong, Deadpool 2) in the title role, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a bold and fresh entry, taking the iconic character back to the roots of his much-loved source material.

The film also stars Adeline Rudolph, Jefferson White, Leah McNamara, Joseph Marcell, Hannah Margetson, and Martin Bassindale. Hellboy: The Crooked Man in UK and Irish Cinemas from 27th September.
