Critics Consensus

Hellboy:The Crooked Man buckles under its constraints resulting in an uneven, third-rate bag of all tricks and no treats.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 2/5

TheWrap

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.

Variety

It has the look of YouTube fan film — not to mention the excess fidelity.

Decider

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

Screen Rant

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.

Rated: 4/10

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Hellboy: The Crooked Man makes a valiant effort to adapt Mike Mignola’s 2008 comic, but ultimately, it falters under the weight of its changes.

Rated: 5/10

I Most people get turned off from the low budget but I think this movie did okay with what it had. Much better than 2019 Hellboy.

Diferente al resto de las películas de Hellboy, intenta tener un tono mas serio y oscuro pero lamentablemente el resultado es muy barato (y no hablo solo del presupuesto). Historia interesante pero a la vez muy lenta, se nota que la hora y media de metraje se le hace muy larga. Tiene algún que otro buen momento de susto pero no son tantos ni tan eficientes como para hacer que valga la pena.

I grew up with tales from the crypt and tales from the darkside, I even remember kolcheck the nightstalker and the night gallery. If you are a downer on this you are missing some good storytelling and you need to lighten up and enjoy the ride.

What in the fing God’s name is this? I literally held off on watching because of all the bad reviews, and now 12–13 minutes in I already regret it. The acting isn’t just bad, it’s god-awful. The cinematography is trash, the shots look like s, the pacing is a mess. This thing is a straight-up pauper of a movie. What the actual f*** is this, and why is it so damn bad? What the actual f? I cannot believe the disappointment... What the... Like seriously... People... What the... Literally Bollywood movies have better actors than this piece of s... SERIOSULY! THE ROOM IS A MASTERPIECE COMPARED TO THIS. WHAT IS THIS???? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DIRECTORS???

It was obviously not the high budget del Toro or whatever the last big movie was. I was fun and to be honest I kinda thought of this as a pilot for a TV series and I think it would be a great show if I wanted to see more. It was quite faithful to the comic books and I had a nice time watching it, reminded me of early X files too.
