Plot

In 1944, with the help of Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, the Nazis build a dimensional portal off the coast of Scotland and intend to free the Ogdru Jahad to aid them in defeating the Allies. Rasputin opens the portal with the aid of his disciples, Ilsa von Haupstein and Obersturmbannführer Karl Ruprecht Kroenen. An Allied team destroys the portal, guided by a young scientist named Trevor Bruttenholm (colloquially known as Broom ). The German team is killed and the portal is destroyed, in the process absorbing Rasputin, while Haupstein and Kroenen escape. The Allied team discovers that an infant demon with a right hand of stone has come through the portal; they dub him Hellboy and Bruttenholm adopts him.

60 years later, the eternally youthful Kroenen and Haupstein resurrect Rasputin. FBI agent John Myers is transferred to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) at the request of Bruttenholm, where he meets the adult Hellboy and a psychic, amphibious humanoid named Abe Sapien. Hellboy is sent to investigate an incident at a Museum and battles a creature named Samael. After defeating it, Hellboy visits former BPRD member Liz Sherman at a mental hospital that she committed herself to due to her unstable pyrokinetic abilities. Abe learns that Samael was resurrected by Rasputin, who has imbued Samael with the power to reincarnate and split his essence, causing two of the creature s eggs to hatch and mature each time one dies. Abe also learns that Bruttenholm is dying.

Concluding the eggs are in the sewer, Hellboy, Abe and several FBI agents go down to destroy them. Abe is injured while looking for the eggs, while Kroenen kills most of the agents. Kroenen, whose mutilated body is run by mechanical parts, shuts himself down, pretending to be defeated, and is brought to the bureau. FBI Director Tom Manning is angered by Hellboy s recklessness. Myers takes Liz out for coffee and to talk. Hellboy, jealous, covertly follows them, leaving the bureau unguarded. Kroenen reanimates himself and Rasputin appears at the bureau, confronting Bruttenholm. Rasputin offers him a vision of the future, showing Hellboy is the agent that will destroy the world. However, Bruttenholm tells Rasputin he will always see Hellboy as his son. Rasputin, respecting Bruttenholm for raising Hellboy, directs a quick execution by Kroenen. Bruttenholm dies holding a rosary.

Manning takes over the BPRD and locates Rasputin s mausoleum in an old cemetery outside Moscow, Russia. A team led by Manning and Hellboy enters the mausoleum, but swiftly becomes separated. Hellboy and Manning find their way to Kroenen s lair and kill him. Hellboy reunites with Liz and Myers at Samael s new nest, but the creatures overwhelm them. Liz uses her pyrokinetic powers to incinerate the creatures and their eggs. Hellboy, Liz and Myers lose consciousness and are captured by Rasputin and Haupstein. Rasputin sucks Liz s soul out of her body, then tells Hellboy to release the Ogdru Jahad in return for her soul. Hellboy awakens his true power as Anung un Rama, causing his horns to regrow, and begins to release the Ogdru Jahad. Myers breaks out of his restraints, subdues Haupstein, and reminds Hellboy that he can defy his destiny, throwing him Bruttenholm s rosary. Remembering his true self and what Bruttenholm brought him up to be, Hellboy breaks off his horns, reseals the Ogdru Jahad and defeats Rasputin by stabbing him with one of his broken-off horns.

However, Rasputin has burst, the Behemoth, a spawn of the Ogdru Jahad, out of his body, grows to enormous size, and destroys him and Haupstein. Hellboy allows himself to be swallowed by the beast, then detonates a belt of hand grenades and destroys it from the inside. He whispers something in Liz s ear and she is revived. When she asks how her soul was returned, Hellboy replies that he said Hey, you on the other side, let her go, because for… for her I ll cross over, and then you ll be sorry. Liz and Hellboy share a kiss.

Production

The movie becomes a story of two fathers with a single son. He has one father in Broom, and another father in Rasputin. It s a very graphic way of representing Hellboy s conflict.

—Del Toro on the film s central theme.

Del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola envisioned the film as a Ray Harryhausen film. The film was shopped and rejected by various studios for years due to studios disliking the title, script, and the fact that Perlman was cast as Hellboy. Del Toro invited Harryhausen to teach the film s animators what made his effects techniques unique but declined, feeling that modern films were too violent.

Writing

While writing the script, Del Toro researched occult Nazi philosophies and used them as a reference for the film s opening scene. In an early version of the script, the gyroscope portal was described being made out of rails that formed into pentagrams, hexagrams, and inverted stars to illustrate the film s magic and occult elements. Del Toro chose to alter the origin from the comic to give main characters interconnected origins.

Labyrinths became a motif for the film to represent Hellboy s conflict of choosing the right path. This was reflected in the film s opening titles. Del Toro felt that labyrinths represent the film s themes regarding choices and taking different turns and choosing different destinies, Del Toro stated, A labyrinth, it is said, is not a place to be lost, but a place to find yourself. Del Toro chose to add context to the BPRD logo by rooting the film s version in Catholic mythology by adding archangels in Broom s office. Del Toro wrote Hellboy s dialogue with Perlman in mind for the role, prior to casting him. Del Toro noted that he tried to emulate Jack Kirby and Harryhausen s action style for the film s action scenes.

Hellboy s gun was given the name Samaritan for the film to illustrate the BPRD s techno-magic. Del Toro approached the love story with a reverse Beauty and the Beast approach, stating, I wanted the beauty to turn into a beast in the end to fully assume her mortal gifts… and when she accepts herself for what she is, a monster, then she can love the monster. The idea of Hellboy spying on Liz and Myers was originally written for a separate script titled Meat Market, A Love Story. While Broom s death happened early in the comics, Del Toro wished to delay it to have audiences become attached to the character and make it painful to lose that character.

Pre-production

Aside from working with Perlman before, Del Toro chose him for the title role because he felt Perlman could deliver subtlety and nuance with makeup. Del Toro assigned his real life friend, Santiago Segura, to play the train driver who assaults Hellboy. David Hyde Pierce was hired to provide the voice for Abe Sapien due to Pierce being a bigger name and having a more recognizable sound . Pierce refused to take credit, perform press tours, or attend the premiere out of respect for Doug Jones.

Filming

The film was shot 6 days a week for 130 days, Mondays through Saturdays without a second unit. Sundays were reserved for editing. Del Toro noted that the film could have commenced filming in 1998, however, the film had difficulty finding a committed studio due to the stigma Hollywood associated superhero and comic book films with, at the time. The action scenes were staged after Harryhausen films with little to no camera movement using wide shots. The cemetery sequence was filmed in a real cemetery in Prague.

Release

Theatrical

Hellboy had its world premiere at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, Los Angeles, California on March 30, 2004, and subsequently opened in wide release on April 2, where it grossed USD $23.1 million in 3,028 theaters on its opening weekend. It went on to gross $59.7 million in North America and $40.2 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of $99.8 million against a budget of $66 million. Mike Mignola, the original creator of the Hellboy character, has stated that he was very happy with the Hellboy films. Some theaters refused to host the film due to the word hell being used in the title. Certain theaters in the South retitled the film in publicity materials, and on my heated marquees, as Helloboy to avoid comparisons with The Passion of the Christ, which was also in release at the time. The film was mysteriously dropped from certain theaters during easter, despite still playing nationwide. Certain toy chains also refused to carry the film s products due to the word hell in the title. Del Toro noted that one scene near the climax, which occurs after a rock hits the screen, was carelessly removed by projectionists in American theaters. He deduced that projectionists believed the reel had ended.

Home media

Hellboy was released on DVD in a two-disc special edition DVD on July 27, 2004, less than sixteen weeks after it opened in theaters. Included, were video introductions by Del Toro and Selma Blair, plus a feature that allowed viewers to click during selected parts of the film to comics drawn by Mike Mignola. Other bonus features include two audio commentaries, one by Del Toro and Mignola; and the other by Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, and Rupert Evans, which was recorded on April 12, 2004. The special features also include visits to the Right Hand of Doom set and a two-hour documentary. This DVD topped the Nielsen VideoScan s First Alert DVD sales chart and the Video Store magazine s list of top rentals for the week ending August 1, 2004, registering a total of more than a half-million units in sales.

A three-disc unrated director s cut DVD set was released on October 19, 2004. In addition to all of the features of the original two-disc set, with the exception of a new director s commentary replacing the old one, new features included Del Toro introducing 20 minutes of additional and extended scenes, a composer commentary with isolated score replacing the cast commentary, a Cast Video Commentary with Perlman, Blair, Tambor and Rupert Evans, multiple production workshop featurettes, a Comic Con 2002 Panel Discussion with Del Toro, Perlman and Mignola, and A Quick Guide to Understanding Comics with Scott McCloud.

A high-definition Blu-ray version of the director s cut was released on June 5, 2007. It contains most of the same content as the DVD set, but is missing a few features such as the video commentary and the composer commentary. An Ultra HD Blu-ray version was released on October 15, 2019, with many of the remaining bonus features from the 3-disc reinstated and both cuts remastered in 4K resolution.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 81% based on 204 reviews with an average rating of 6.8/10. The site s critical consensus reads, With wit, humor and Guillermo del Toro s fantastic visuals, the entertaining Hellboy transcends the derivative nature of the genre. Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 72 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating generally favorable reviews . Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade B− on scale of A to F.

Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B rating and wrote, Pop pretensions can t undo a basic contradiction: that our hero is fighting metaphysical evil with pure, meaty brawn. Hellboy is engaging, but it s got a lot more boy in it than hell . In his review for The New York Times, Elvis Mitchell wrote, Mr. del Toro avidly lavishes this texture on Hellboy … giving it a kiss of distinction. It s an elegant haunted house of a picture with dread and yearning part of the eeriness . Roger Ebert gave the film three and half stars out of four and praised Ron Perlman s performance: And in Ron Perlman, it has found an actor who is not just playing a superhero, but enjoying it … he chomps his cigar, twitches his tail and battles his demons with something approaching glee. You can see an actor in the process of making an impossible character really work . The film also received good reviews in the British press – for example, Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian commented amusedly on the unhistoricity of the Nazis invading Britain in the initial sequence but overall called the film bizarre and loopy, romantic and dynamic . Claudia Puig USA Today was less enthusiastic and wrote, Hellboy s special effects don t offer much of anything new, its far-fetched plot leaves a bit to be desired, and there is plenty that flat-out doesn t make sense. Those unfamiliar with the comic book may leave the theater bedeviled and scratching their heads .

Accolades

Hellboy was nominated for four Saturn Awards in 2005, including Best Fantasy Film, Best Special Edition DVD Release, and Best Make-Up, which it won. The film was also nominated for a Visual Effects Society Award in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Animated Character in a Live Action Motion Picture. In 2007, Rotten Tomatoes declared Hellboy to be the 13th best-reviewed comic book film adaptation, out of 94 total. In 2008, Empire magazine ranked Hellboy 11th in their list of The 20 Greatest Comic Book Movies .

Hellboy is a 2019 American superhero film based on the comic books of the same name published by Dark Horse Comics. Directed by Neil Marshall, the film stars David Harbour in the title role, alongside Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. It is a reboot of the Hellboy film series, and the third live-action film in the franchise. The film draws inspiration from the comic books Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, The Storm and the Fury, and Hellboy in Mexico. In the film, Hellboy struggles with his own existential crisis while preventing a resurrected sorceress from conquering the world.

The project began as a sequel to Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), with Andrew Cosby and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola writing the script. Guillermo del Toro was not offered the full writer-director role he had performed in the first two films, and Ron Perlman, who had portrayed Hellboy in the previous films, refused to return without del Toro s involvement. The project was turned into an R-rated reboot after Marshall was hired as the director and Harbour cast as Hellboy. Principal photography began in September 2017 in the United Kingdom and Bulgaria and ended in December 2017.

Hellboy was theatrically released on April 12, 2019, to negative reviews and was unfavorably compared to the del Toro films. The film was a box office bomb, grossing $55.1 million worldwide against a $50 million production budget.

Plot

In 517 A.D., the evil Blood Queen, Vivienne Nimue, unleashes a plague on England until King Arthur thwarts her with the aid of Ganeida, a member of her coven. Arthur uses Excalibur to dismember Nimue and hides her remains across England. In present-day Tijuana, Mexico, paranormal investigator Hellboy accidentally kills missing agent Esteban Ruiz, who has been transformed into a vampire, during a wrestling match. After hearing Ruiz s dying words, prophesying that the end is coming, Hellboy is brought back to the BPRD in Colorado. He is assigned by B.P.R.D. leader Trevor Bruttenholm, his adoptive human father, to assist the Osiris Club in hunting three giants in Great Britain. The club s seer, Lady Hatton, reveals Bruttenholm was meant to kill Hellboy when he came into the human world as a result of the Nazis Project Ragna Rok but instead raised him. Meanwhile, a pig-like fairy known as Gruagach is advised by the witch Baba Yaga to retrieve Nimue s limbs so that she may grant his wish for revenge against Hellboy.

During the hunt, Hellboy is betrayed and nearly killed by the hunters before they are ambushed by the giants. Hellboy fights and kills the giants until he collapses from exhaustion, only to be rescued by a young woman. He awakens in her flat, recognizing her as Alice Monaghan, a medium he once rescued from fairies as a baby. Sending an SO19 team to retrieve Hellboy, Bruttenholm introduces Hellboy to M11 agent Ben Daimio and relays that Nimue s remains have been taken, and the last piece is stored at the Osiris Club. Finding the club slain, Alice channels Hatton s spirit, who reveals that Nimue seeks Hellboy to cause the apocalypse. Nimue s arm is taken by Gruagach, and Nimue distracts Hellboy by appealing to his frustrations, allowing Gruagach to escape. Hellboy reveals that Gruagach is a changeling who took baby Alice s place before Hellboy branded him with iron and forced him to return Alice, which led to Gruagach hating Hellboy for taking his chance to be human.

Daimio takes them to M11 headquarters before secretly acquiring a special bullet to kill Hellboy. After an argument with Bruttenholm about his adoption, Hellboy angrily storms off until he is magically transported to Baba Yaga s house. Having shot out Baba Yaga s eye, Hellboy is talked into giving up one of his eyes for Nimue s location. Hellboy reneges on the deal and is cursed to lose a loved one. On the way to Nimue s location at Pendleton, Daimio reveals to Alice that he was the sole survivor of a demonic jaguar attack.

Nimue fully restores herself and kills her coven, but spares Ganeida. Hellboy attempts to stop her, but is overwhelmed. Nimue poisons Alice and flees, as Ganeida directs Hellboy to the resting place of Merlin to save Alice. After Merlin cures Alice and puts her and Daimio to sleep, he reveals that Hellboy is Anung un Rama, the firstborn male heir of Arthur through his mother, who was spirited to Hell by his father. When offered Excalibur, Hellboy refuses after seeing a vision of himself causing the apocalypse, while Merlin, having exhausted his magic, disintegrates.

Meanwhile, Nimue attacks M11 and abducts Bruttenholm as the group follows her to St Paul s Cathedral. Hellboy battles an empowered Gruagach aided by Daimio in his jaguar form. However, Nimue betrays and kills Gruagach and propels Hellboy into Arthur s hidden tomb that holds Excalibur. Nimue kills Bruttenholm and an enraged Hellboy pulls out the sword, allowing demons to emerge from Hell. Alice channels Bruttenholm s spirit to appeal to Hellboy s humanity, allowing him to decapitate Nimue and toss her head into Hell after the demons are sent back. Hellboy and Bruttenholm exchange farewells and Daimio discards the special bullet.

Six months later, Hellboy, Daimio and Alice raid the Oannes Society where they find the water tank of Abe Sapien. In a mid-credits scene, Hellboy is consoled at Bruttenholm s grave by the ghost of his hero Lobster Johnson. In a post-credits scene, Baba Yaga enlists an unseen force to seek out Hellboy with the promise of allowing him to finally die.

Cast

• David Harbour as Hellboy / Anung Un Rama: A powerful cambion who works for the government organization Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.). Harbour was suggested for the role by Mignola after having seen his work on Stranger Things. Harbour stated that the film would be a character piece and feature mature themes and complicated subjects that warrant the film s R-rating, stating, It really is this study of this man going through this horrible conundrum and we really get to go in deep with him. Mignola stated that Harbour had been researching the character, adding, He s texting me Hellboy questions about his history, about what the character would think about this or about that. Mignola described Harbour s Hellboy as being more dramatic, gritty, and emotionally explosive than Perlman s. Harbour refrained from imitating Perlman s Hellboy by depicting his own version similar to a teenager, describing him as younger and rougher, stating, He s really struggling with the idea of whether or not he s a good person.
• Milla Jovovich as Vivienne Nimue, the Blood Queen: A powerful British sorceress from the Dark Ages, who seeks to annihilate humanity. Harbour had stated that Hellboy has a very special relationship with Nimue and that the film expands her role from the comics.

He, Satton, and Lord Glaren of the Osirus Club were given decelerated aging by a powerful spirit through a seance that made them aware of the potential threat that Hellboy posed. Harbour stated that their version of Bruttenholm is a much harder character who does not sympathize with Hellboy questioning his place in the world.

Production

Development

In 2014, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola began work with writer Andrew Cosby on the story for a new film. The project was initially intended as a sequel to Guillermo del Toro s films Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which starred Ron Perlman as the title character. Del Toro was offered a producer credit, but declined, wishing instead to direct his own script for Hellboy III, and Perlman refused to return without del Toro s involvement. When Neil Marshall joined, it was decided that the new film would instead be a reboot. Marshall signed on to direct the film due to not making a feature film in nine years and also being initially intrigued by the horror pitch. In May 2017, Mignola announced on his personal Facebook page that the reboot, then titled Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen, would be directed by Marshall and star David Harbour as the eponymous character. Mignola also stated that the film would have an R-rating. At the time, it was targeted for a 2018 release. Andrew Cosby had stated that the film would be a darker, more gruesome version of Hellboy . Harbour further elaborated on the film s R-rating, This movie is gory, I mean it s like a horror movie. There s a lot of blood in it. It s brutal.

Mignola said that he would have minimal involvement with the reboot, acting more as a co-executive producer and without participating in pre-production or design, stating, When the decision was made to do another movie, I got involved, basically saying, If you re going to do that story, don t do this, or that, change this, and that. I helped to steer it. Christopher Golden and I did write a couple of drafts of the screenplay and got it on track, and then the decision was made to do a reboot. In August 2017, the film dropped the subtitle Rise of the Blood Queen and was re-titled simply Hellboy.

Writing

When the project was announced, it was revealed that Mignola had written early drafts with Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden, and that Mignola would develop a new draft with Aron Eli Coleite. On the tone of the film, Cosby stated, Neil said from the very beginning that he wanted to walk a razor s edge between horror and comic book movie, which was music to my ears, because that s what I was shooting for in the script, and precisely what Mignola does so well with the comics. Mignola confirmed that the film draws inspiration from Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, and The Storm and the Fury, but also pulls bits and pieces from other stories , such as Hellboy in Mexico. Mignola did not want to make another origin story, feeling that del Toro had already succeeded with that story. Mignola felt the three-book arc gave the filmmakers an entryway back into the world of Hellboy and allowed them to expand beyond the comic. A poster with final credits revealed Cosby retained sole screenwriter credit.

Creature design

Makeup designer Joel Harlow wanted to make the monsters and settings of Hellboy believable within the context of the world they inhabit . The design team attempted not to reference the designs of the del Toro films and took inspiration from the comics. Harlow attempted to stay faithful to the source material, and consulted with Mignola on any new designs to make sure they matched the tone of the comics. Harlow added Harbour s facial features into the initial Hellboy maquette sculpt to capture his likeness into the character. Harlow felt Harbour s Hellboy gave an imposing presence after the makeup and body suit were applied.

For the horned version of Hellboy, Harlow chose to make that version an amped up design of the regular horned Hellboy, stating, We gave him a larger jaw, a heavier brow, a more vibrant yellow eye look, larger teeth and, of course, extremely large horns. Harlow wanted real-world representations of the horned version by adding scars, feeling they made Hellboy feel gritty, and were appropriate for an R-rated version of the character. The decision for a lack of a top-knot was due to this version of Hellboy being portrayed younger than the comic iteration. For the creatures of Hell, Harlow wanted them to look different from the film s other beasts, stating, Their look is entirely nonhuman and very frightening. It s a glimpse into a world of beings that do not follow the anatomical laws of anything terrestrial.

Pre-production

David Harbour was the first actor to be cast for the film, in the role of Hellboy. In August 2017, Ian McShane was added as Trevor Bruttenholm. On August 8, 2017, Milla Jovovich was cast as the main antagonist, the Blood Queen, and on August 15, 2017, Sasha Lane was set to play Alice Monaghan. On August 21, Ed Skrein was cast as Ben Daimio; however, Skrein voluntarily dropped out of the film on August 28 following accusations of whitewashing the role he was set to play, stating, It is clear that representing this character in a culturally accurate way holds significance for people, and that to neglect this responsibility would continue a worrying tendency to obscure ethnic minority stories and voices in the Arts. I feel it is important to honor and respect that. Therefore, I have decided to step down so the role can be cast appropriately. On August 30, 2017, Penelope Mitchell joined the cast as Ganeida.

In September 2017, Daniel Dae Kim was cast to replace Skrein in the role of Daimio. Kim has praised Skrein for dropping the role, stating, I applaud the producers and, in particular, Ed Skrein for championing the notion that Asian characters should be played by Asian or Asian American actors. The two later met and became acquainted, with Kim saying, Thanks for the opportunity to get to know each other in person. Grateful to now call you friend . In November 2018, it was revealed that Thomas Haden Church had a role in the film as vigilante Lobster Johnson. The same month, it was also announced that Stephen Graham and Douglas Tait portray the fairy Gruagach, with Graham as the voice and Tait providing the in-camera performance. Doug Jones (who had played Abe Sapien in the del Toro films) was offered a cameo but was unable to participate due to commitments to Star Trek: Discovery.

Filming

Hellboy began principal production in September 2017 and filmed in the United Kingdom and Bulgaria. Filming wrapped on December 27, 2017. During Hellboy s opening weekend, TheWrap published a report that revealed tensions during the film s production. The report stated that producers Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin had chosen to fire the original cinematographer and director Marshall s collaborator, Sam McCurdy. Insiders suggested McCurdy s termination was meant to be a message to Marshall that he was not in charge; however, Levin s attorney, Martin Singer, denied the allegation and described McCurdy s termination as a group decision . Singer accused Marshall of encouraging the story.

Three insiders stated that Levin frequently interrupted Marshall before the cast and crew during rehearsals and attempted to give the actors different directions from Marshall s. Singer denied the claim, stating that Levin talked to Marshall after rehearsals. Two insiders stated that Harbour walked off set, refusing to film more takes for Marshall. Singer countered that Levin had no recollection of the incident. Two insiders stated that the script was rewritten on-set and that Harbour and McShane rewrote their lines. Singer disputed that this was a common practice among film productions. One insider stated that Marshall and Levin had disputes over the design of a tree. Marshall wanted a realistic, asymmetrical design while Levin opted for a symmetrical design and overruled Marshall s decision. However, Marshall changed the design to asymmetrical during post-production. Singer denied the claim, stating that all the designs in the film went through an exhaustive design and evolution process . All parties involved refused to comment on the report.

Post-production

The visual effects were provided by Mr. X, Rhythm & Hues, Rise FX and Worldwide FX, supervised by Chris MacLean, James Cooper, John Haley, Markus Degen, Veselina Georgieva, Matt Kasmir and Steve Begg, with the help of Goodbye Kansas Studios, Nu Boyana FX, Onirikal Studio and Nzivage. Marshall did not retain final cut over the film.

Music

Release

Marketing

On October 6, 2018, the cast and crew attended a panel for the film at the New York Comic Con. A poster revealing the film s principal characters and a two-minute reel of footage were revealed to those in attendance; it received praise from attendees. The footage was leaked online a week later. On December 19, 2018, the first official trailer was released, which drew mixed reactions from fans, with some excited for the film and others comparing it to Suicide Squad. On March 1, 2019, a red band trailer was released online. The second trailer had a more positive response from fans, with many calling it a huge improvement from the first trailer.

Theatrical

In November 2018, Lionsgate held test screenings in Los Angeles, which generated negative reactions. Hellboy had its premiere in New York City on April 9, 2019, and was released in the United States on April 12, 2019, in IMAX. The film was previously scheduled to be released on January 11, 2019. Hellboy was released in France on May 8, 2019, in Spain on May 17, 2019, in Brazil on May 26, 2019, and in Hong Kong on June 20, 2019. It was released in Japan on September 27, 2019. The film was released in China on November 9, 2020. Prior to its Chinese release, the Maoyan data platform confirmed that 24,000 Chinese consumers had shown interest in seeing the film.

Home media

Hellboy was released on Digital on July 9, 2019, and on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on July 23, 2019. The home media release was accompanied by retail exclusives from Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Best Buy released an exclusive 4K steelbook featuring artwork by Mike Mignola. Target released a Blu-ray double-sided steelbook featuring two of the film s theatrical posters. Walmart included a digital copy of Hellboy: The Wild Hunt for in-store purchases of the Blu-ray or DVD. The film s disc release debuted #2 on Blu-ray and DVD sales charts the week that ended July 27, and #3 on disc rental charts; with 68% of its disc sales coming from Blu-ray, and 17% of its sales coming from 4K UHD. In the United States and Canada, the DVD earned $3.3 million and the Blu-ray earned $8.5 million, totaling in $11.9 million in domestic video sales.

Reception

Box office

During its original theatrical run, Hellboy grossed $21.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $18.9 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $44 million, against a production budget of $50 million. Digital Spy ranked the film #2 in its list of biggest movie flops of 2019, stating, There just wasn t the excitement for it and with better options on offer (Shazam!, Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel), even the overseas market couldn t save it. Business Insider added the film to its list of 16 biggest box-office flops of 2019 , stating, Hellboy failed to spark excitement this year due to a poor release date, awful reviews, and other factors. Forbes called the film s box office results a bomb, stating, the character just wasn t a draw in 2019 .

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Little, Missing Link and After, and was initially projected to gross $17–21 million from 3,303 theaters in its opening weekend. However, after making $4.9 million on its first day (including $1.38 million from Thursday night previews), estimates were lowered to $12 million. It ended up debuting to $12 million, finishing third, behind holdover Shazam!, and Little. The sub-par opening was blamed on the poor critical reception, as well as a lack of interest in the franchise from audiences. In its second weekend the film dropped 68%, earning $3.9 million and finishing tenth. The film later earned $10.4 million after it was released in China in November 2020, raising the film s worldwide gross to $55 million.

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 18% based on 221 reviews and an average rating of 3.9/10. The site s critical consensus reads, Bereft of the imaginative flair that made earlier Hellboys so enjoyable, this soulless reboot suggests Dante may have left a tenth circle out of his Inferno. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating generally unfavorable reviews . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of C on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and a definite recommend of 44%.

Owen Gleiberman of Variety said the film wants to be a badass hard-R epic, but it s basically a pile of origin-story gobbledygook, frenetic and undercooked, full of limb-hacking, eye-gouging monster battles as well as an atmosphere of apocalyptic grunge that signifies next to nothing . John Defore of The Hollywood Reporter said that Neil Marshall s Hellboy isn t lousy because nobody wants it, nor only because it fails to live up to both its big-screen and printed predecessors. It s just lousy. Bloated, vastly less funny than it aims to be and misguided in key design choices even when it scores with less important decisions, the film does make bold choices that might have paid off under other circumstances. But these aren t those circumstances. Eric Kohn of IndieWire described the film as an overzealous attempt to revisit the content of del Toro films without matching their sophistication. Katie Rife of The A.V. Club gave it a C−, praising the creature and set design but saying unfortunately that s where the creativity in this film ends . Rife praised Jovovich for giving the most committed, and therefore the best, performance in the film.

Johnny Oleksinski of The New York Post called the film a grotesque misfire , writing, The race for worst movie of the year is heating up. You could even say it s hotter than hell, now that Hellboy has taken the lead . Phil de Semlyen for Time Out wrote, We get a conventional, if blood-soaked, splurge of folklore, origin story, comic-book fan service and monster movie, all set to a bustling blues-rock soundtrack. Knitting it all very loosely together is a barrage of exposition involving Milla Jovovich s evil Arthurian blood queen Nimue, a.k.a. the Lady in the Lake, and the threat of another cinematic apocalypse. It feels like you ve seen it all before, and if you caught Joe Cornish’s The Kid Who Would Be King, you have. Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph described the film as Ugly, obnoxious and yowlingly witless, with nothing to say for itself that doesn t start with the letter F. John Nugent of Empire magazine gave the film 2 out of 5, but praised Harbour, saying David Harbour is brilliant, everyone around him less so . He was also critical of the film s alarmingly bad English accents . Kim Newman wrote: Though it covers a lot of ground – with punch-ups staged on significant sites of British magic, from Pendle Hill to St Paul s – this is fairly anonymous, with little of the distinctive grit of Marshall’s strongest works.

William Bibbiani of TheWrap gave the film a positive review, calling it a horrifyingly good time , and adding, Neil Marshall s Hellboy is a wellspring of creativity, a major superhero movie made for hardcore R-rated horror fans, overflowing with humor and action and scares .

Response from crew

On the film s negative reception, Harbour felt the film was unfairly compared to Marvel films and reflected, We did our best, but there s so many voices that go into these things and they re not always going to work out. I did what I could do and I feel proud of what I did, but ultimately I m not in control of a lot of those things. Harbour also expressed his doubts whether a sequel would be produced, stating, I don t think the perception was that it was a hit, and so in that way, I don t know that the risk is worth it. Harbour later stated he thought the film failed due to fans of the del Toro films prematurely dismissing a reboot that did not involve del Toro or Perlman.

Milla Jovovich stated that all her raddest films have been slammed by critics and argued that Hellboy would become a cult classic, due to her past films receiving cult followings years after their initial negative responses. She also praised her fellow cast members and director Neil Marshall for their work on the film, and said that fans would have a blast watching it, despite negative reviews.

Director Neil Marshall had disowned the film, stating, It was just God awful. It s not a film that I would consider to be part of my canon. Marshall blamed the producers for interfering and contradicting his directions during principal photography and post-production. He elaborated further on his experience during the production:

It was the worst professional experience of my life. The script was shit. The decision to make the film was a mistake. I signed up to it because they pitched this idea of we want to do the horror version of Hellboy. We want to bring you and make a really darker, horror version. And then I quickly found out that A: the script was terrible. B: it was never going to get better before we shot it, despite many attempts. You can t polish a turd, no matter how much you try. And I would have all creative control taken away from me to extreme levels. There s nothing of me in that movie.
