Kim Newman Sight & Sound Dec 18
It respects its source to a high degree – actors are cast (or made up) exactly to resemble Corben’s grotesque faces – and at least manages to evoke proper dread. Go to Full Review

It’s all too much. The horrors are piled on in such quantities that any possibility of being scared or even slightly repulsed soon evaporates. Go to Full Review
William Bibbiani TheWrap 10/10/2024
Taylor envisions a Hellboy where the horror matters more than the humor or poetry or romance or even the good vibes, and he’s made a film that proves his take is valid. Go to Full Review

Maybe The Crooked Man will only appeal to hardcore Hellboy fans who want to see another adaptation of their favorite character, but it is also a very enjoyable riff on folk horror and The Evil Dead with some comic book flourishes.  Go to Full Review

Nothing in The Crooked Man compels us to feel invested in this story, which lacks suspense, dramatic momentum and a sense of pacing. Go to Full Review

Brian Taylor's Hellboy: The Crooked Man certainly strives to feel different from the previous movies, but comes with the cost of also feeling dry. Go to Full Review

Epic-Ace-Studios @Thesmartcritic 1d So, this movie is good if your a fan of 2000s superheros you will like this. Bad CGI and all its found away to be different but, nostalgic. Still not better then ron pearlman who can this is still fun. See more Tim L. @moon00 Jan 10 I love this film personally, its very comic accurate and I think it does the horror elements well enough and it uses it low budget well. So if your looking for comic accurate hellboy this is for you. See more Scruffy N @Scruffyruffy Dec 30 It’s just the worst. I’ve tried to watch this one four different times, and either fell asleep or turned it off around the halfway point. See more Matthias G @Punxsu Dec 9 The concept is strong: a small, gritty folk horror, closer to the comics. But the low budget is obvious, and at times it feels like an episode of an eighties ghost show. The idea doesn’t sustain the full runtime, tension and atmosphere are missing, and the murky visual look makes it appear even cheaper. Great idea, weak execution. See more WARNAMU @Warnamu Dec 3 Feels like i got scammed buying this movie, this is very very low budget fan made, It wins in everything ugly. See more Tony G Nov 2 The cadence of the movie becomes munotenes three quarters of the way through. At first it works well but I became frustrated later on as the plot became clear. There is one aspect of the movie I would say is successful and that's capturing the comic book feel that Mignola originally created. The original Hellboy movies where much better and someone should let Guillermo del Toro complete his trilogy. See more Read all reviews
