Critics Consensus

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

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.

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.

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.

The Red Demon benefits from its foray into folk horror and, above all, from the episodic nature of the story. [Full review in Spanish]

The film gets lost on secondary paths, even turning the title villain into a poor ancillary, but the wicked charm of the forest creatures prevents it from sinking completely...[Full review in Spanish]

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.

Very well done for it's small budget. Does look a little YouTube-like at times, but stays on topic and gives a very interesting horror take on the character. Overall I still really liked it.

Im in love with hellboy (my biological father loved him so…). I love the Del Toro movies, i think the 219 one is a fun comedy (at times), and i love the Crooked man. It was a treat seeing it dive into the supernatural side of things while also still being “somewhat” funny.

I have watched all the Hellboys... this one, I truley enjoyed. Its better, less artificial. Like a good ol' classic, with a bit of creepy. Two thumbs up!!

I think if David harbors version was in this one, it would be better. This is the worst hellboy movie. I'm sorry.

It's a surprising take on Hellboy which has been misinterpreted by so many movies. It takes hellboy back to the dark and gritty emptiness of whichcraft in the apalachian mountains. A feat for every comic fan.

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.
