What Is Hellboy About?

2004 saw the debut of Hellboy, boasting an impressive star-studded cast. Ron Perlman played the lead role, while Selma Blair took on Liz Sherman, Jeffrey Tambor portrayed Tom Manning, Doug Jones stepped into Abe Sapien’s shoes, and John Hurt brought Trevor “Broom” Bruttenholm to life. Rupert Evans was a vital part of the team as John Myers, introducing an entirely new character that helped immerse viewers in the realm of Hellboy and the BPRD.

Based on the foundational concept of Mike Mignola’s initial Hellboy comic series, “Seed of Destruction”, the 2004 film adaptation titled “Hellboy” not only narrated the character’s origin but also introduced antagonists such as Rasputin, Karl Ruprect Kroenen, and Ilsa Haupstein. Directed by Guillermo del Toro, “Hellboy” was a moderate success at the box office, earning $99 million worldwide, yet it truly thrived in home media sales at the time. The film’s impressive DVD sales paved the way for its sequel, which was released in 2008 as “Hellboy II: The Golden Army”.

As a devoted Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy fan, I couldn’t help but yearn for him to complete the trilogy, particularly following the nail-biting cliffhanger in The Golden Army. Regrettably, a third movie never came to fruition and the character was subsequently reimagined with the 2019 adaptation featuring David Harbour as the lead. Now, our beloved Hellboy is being reinvented once more with the upcoming Hellboy: The Crooked Man, set to debut on VOD in the US on Tuesday, October 8th.

The 2004 film Hellboy is described thus: “Born from the fires of hell to wreak havoc, Hellboy (portrayed by Ron Perlman) was saved as an infant from evil forces by kindly Dr. Broom (John Hurt). Raised in secret at the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy forms an unconventional family with Abe Sapien, a telepathic ‘Mer-Man’ (Doug Jones), and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), a woman who can control fire and whom he loves. Unbeknownst to humanity, they stand as the main defense against an evil mastermind intent on reclaiming Hellboy for darkness and using his powers to bring about mankind’s destruction. The UHD release follows: As malevolent forces hasten the end times, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) fights back with fire against fire in this thrilling supernatural action tale.
