Overview

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before they summon a baby demon who is rescued by Allied forces and dubbed "Hellboy". Sixty years later, Hellboy serves the cause of good rather than evil as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense, along with Abe Sapien - a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman - a woman with pyrokinesis, protecting America against dark forces.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gothic-tinged action fantasy that pairs the grandiose and grotesque with dry wit, following a demon wrestling with his destiny while battling Lovecraftian horrors. It's operatic superhero pulp with genuine heart beneath the monster mayhem.
