"Hellboy: The Crooked Man is the fourth attempt to bring the "red one" to the big screen — two of which were well-received, directed by Guillermo del Toro. In this one, director Brian Taylor works closely with Mike Mignola, the character's creator, to make a smaller film: clearly, there’s a lower budget, reducing the space Hellboy occupies. It’s a more contained and less megalomaniac film, heavily inspired by folk horror. At the same time, it is also a much stranger film than the previous ones: Hellboy is more disillusioned, not believing in life, and somewhat more passive. This may be the weakest adaptation of the four, mainly due to the lack of money to make something good — the digitally created spider and raccoon look like they’re from a 2000s video game. Still, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a good attempt that aims to change the tone of the franchise and show that there is something interesting out there."
