\"Hellboy
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indie studio Ketchup Entertainment has a new Hellboy movie out, but you won\u2019t find Hellboy: The Crooked Man<\/em> in theaters this week. It\u2019s a small movie: no big stars, a limited theatrical release only in the U.K. and Belgium. It\u2019s been shunted onto digital listings with zero fanfare. So the exercise of reviewing it feels a bit like kicking a crooked man while he\u2019s down. The movie has already been buried: Is there value in exhuming its corpse to enumerate the ways it isn\u2019t worth your $19.99 worth of VOD money?\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can already see there are more paragraphs here, so\u2026 Yes. Hellboy: The Crooked Man<\/em> has lots of piecemeal problems, but there\u2019s a bigger conceptual mistake here that should serve as a warning to anyone trying to reboot\u200b\u200b Mike Mignola\u2019s comic as a film franchise for a fourth time. Filmmakers need to stop trying to directly adapt Hellboy stories into feature-length movies constructed around visual realism. It does the character \u2014 indeed, the entire concept \u2014 a disservice. <\/p>\n

Hellboy: The Crooked Man<\/em> is based on the Hellboy comic of the same name<\/a>, but the film\u2019s first divergence from that story comes in its opening sequence, in which son of Satan turned paranormal investigator Hellboy (Jack Kesy) and agent Bobbie Jo Song (an original character created for the movie, played by Adeline Rudolph), survive a train crash and become stranded in the Appalachian wilderness. From there, they stumble onto the original plot of the Crooked Man<\/em> comic, a three-issue story written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and drawn by Richard Corben. Hellboy and Jo join a local man, Tom Ferrell (Jefferson White), who wishes to free a woman suspected of being a witch from her doom, even as he\u2019s haunted by the \u201cCrooked Man,\u201d an agent of the devil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The remarkable thing about this train-accident frame is that it sounds<\/em> like a great way to give newbies a quick little recap of who Hellboy is, why he looks like that, and how he came to be a paranormal investigator, all before getting to the main plot. But while the script takes care to let us know that Jo is a desk agent and has no experience with field work, there is no actual mention of the agency (presumably the comics\u2019 Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense?) that she and Hellboy work for, just a single reference to their boss being named \u201cBroom,\u201d which remains unelaborated on. Crooked Man<\/em> has zero<\/em> on-ramp for people unfamiliar with Hellboy, a wild thing for a supposed \u201creboot\u201d to leave out. <\/p>\n

That gives the whole opening a fan-film kind of vibe, which is enhanced by some real B-movie CGI of Hellboy battling a monster foe, shot in poorly timed cuts that try, but don\u2019t quite succeed, to obscure how rarely he and his opponent occupy the frame at the same time. Kesy\u2019s latex makeup and red right hand<\/a> are valiant efforts, but they\u2019re still more cosplay than movie costume. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The acting in Crooked Man<\/em> ranges from unmemorable to bad, with a selection of particularly overdone \u201cyokel accents.\u201d At times, director Brian Taylor (of the Nicolas Cage movie Mom and Dad<\/em>, and the Neveldine and Taylor team who made the Crank movies, Gamer<\/em>, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance<\/em>) takes care to underscore the 1950s setting, as when an elderly local woman remarks that Jo looks like a \u201cli\u2019l Oriental doll.\u201d At other times, things just do not click temporally. (\u201cHelter Skelter\u201d scrawled across a haunted house\u2019s walls?)<\/p>\n

The pacing is terrible and the exposition is forced. (It is simply the height of screenwriter laziness to have Hellboy, who knows that tentacle gods from beyond time and space are real, refer to something as \u201ca Lovecraft-type scenario.\u201d) And the original additions to the story, like Jo, are flat and not additive. That\u2019s a pity for the movie\u2019s only female character who isn\u2019t damned for all eternity in one way or another. An extended ending turns the comic\u2019s classic Mignola-style Unsettling Reveal Anticlimax into a three-way, last-minute emotional-development action sequence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the real problem is that even if Taylor hadn\u2019t made any of those stumbles with Crooked Man<\/em>, he would still be trying to deform a Hellboy comic \u2014 a comics institution defined by highly stylized, sparsely worded, short, disconnected stories \u2014 to fit a long-form, visually realistic, gritty film. Crooked Man<\/em> and 2019\u2019s David Harbour vehicle Hellboy<\/em><\/a> demonstrate that if you directly translate the blow-by-blow plot of a Hellboy story into a new medium without keeping its stylization, brevity, or humor, you just get a watered-down, clich\u00e9-filled B-movie with a flat, unlikable protagonist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter how many times you have characters say out loud<\/em> that Hellboy has more in common with the monsters he hunts than the humans he protects. If your actors, director, and screenwriters aren\u2019t united in actually showing<\/em> the sadness and vulnerability in Hellboy\u2019s heart \u2014 never mind the self-aware humor of \u201cPamcakes!<\/a>\u201d or \u201cIs that a monkey?<\/a>\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t mess with me, lady. I\u2019ve been drinking with skeletons.\u201d \u2014 it will mean nothing<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\"\u201cDon\u2019t<\/p>\n

When Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Hellboy movies work \u2014 and they don\u2019t always! \u2014 it\u2019s because they borrow liberally from more action-forward cinematic comics adaptations like Men in Black<\/em> and contemporary superhero films, stretching the Hellboy model over the skeleton of a tried-and-true three-act action movie while retaining the comic\u2019s humor and pathos. And they work because they have del Toro, the greatest living director of practical-effects monster design in Hollywood today, and veteran camp-action production designer Stephen Scott to give every inch of those two weird, wonderful films a unique design sense that could stand in for the hyperreal effect of Mignola\u2019s cartooning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hellboy: The Crooked Man<\/em> has many problems \u2014 so many that they might obscure the most important one. People have got to stop trying to make Hellboy stories fit a movie mold, and start trying to make movies \u2014 or TV shows! Or an animated series! \u2014 that fit the Hellboy <\/em>mold. <\/p>\n
