Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) | Is This A Comic Book Movie Or A Horror Film?!?
Get ready to dive into the dark and twisted world of Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024)! In this video, we’re taking a closer look at the upcoming American superhero horror film that promises to redefine the Hellboy franchise. But is it a comic book movie, a horror film, or something in between? Let's break it down.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man is the second reboot of the Hellboy series and the fourth live-action entry in the franchise. Directed by Brian Taylor, this film is based on the 2008 comic miniseries of the same name, written by Hellboy’s creator Mike Mignola. With a script co-written by Taylor, Mignola, and Christopher Golden, this adaptation stays true to its folk horror roots, bringing a terrifying new chapter to Hellboy's story. The movie stars Jack Kesy as Hellboy, alongside Jefferson White, Adeline Rudolph, and a talented supporting cast.
Set in the 1950s, the plot follows Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent as they find themselves stranded in rural Appalachia, where they uncover a small community haunted by witches and led by a local devil with a dark connection to Hellboy’s past: The Crooked Man. The film promises to be a chilling blend of supernatural horror and comic book action, with a strong emphasis on the eerie, atmospheric horror that fans of the original comics will love.
We’ll also discuss the production journey of the film, from its initial announcement in February 2023 to the completion of filming in Bulgaria by May 2023. Brian Taylor has shared his vision of resetting the Hellboy series, focusing on a younger, more wandering version of Hellboy, and embracing the "dark and scary and violent and adult" elements of the comics. The director even confirmed that the film would be R-rated, promising fans a grittier, more faithful adaptation of Mignola’s work.
But that’s not all-we’ll delve into the controversies surrounding the film’s production, including the use (or rather, the non-use) of AI in creating the movie's creatures and special effects. Despite some confusion in early reports, Taylor clarified that both Hellboy and the Crooked Man were crafted using practical effects, keeping the film grounded in tangible, real-world horror rather than relying on CGI.
So, is Hellboy: The Crooked Man the horror-infused reboot that Hellboy fans have been waiting for, or is it just another attempt to revive a franchise? Join us as we explore what this film could mean for the future of Hellboy and comic book adaptations in general. If you’re a fan of horror, comics, or just great storytelling, this is a video you won’t want to miss.

    55:27 Playing same way over and over will make games boring very fast. I would suggest to try new trap every few attempts. OMD3 has no many game modes to increase replay ability but even without it i have thousand of hours into it. Own challenges allows me to find new ways of how to place traps better. Then imagine how many hours of fun will give me next their game with roguelike game mode.

    I actually like 24's gameplay as a whole more. I like 24's presentation more as well except i do really like the 2 new broadcast teams. 25 gameplay is fine. College just feels much better minus the pursuit angles lol. Madden got me this year mainly cause i was hyped for superstar mode and it hadn't come out at the time that dynasty drafts wouldnt be transfering over to franchise. But until dynasty can export draft classes im done with madden. Played madden 18 then stopped. Got madden 23 and was happy about the gameplay, and 24 blew it out the water. But 25 is a downgrade for me which is dangerous

    Madden and Cfb are ARCADE labeled as Sim. The last Sim we had was in 07 allpro 2k8. It does literally everything better and the animations and physics look better still. Only thing ea did better was graphics and only because allpro in almost 20 years old

    I’ll say this after playing both games. Madden 25 plays better than College Football…by far. A bit slower, smoother, animates better. Gameplay on the field is king to me, so I’ll probably play Madden more after the nostalgia of college football wears off.

    considering EA is on a one year deal with NFL right now and the NFL is stating they are waiting on numbers before resigning with EA exclusive rights. Madden and EA had no choice but to put out the best product they could this year. or they were going to loose the contract without a doubt. the NFL woke up and recognized the only blemish to their glorious image is Madden. literally. its all because of the exclusive contract. madden 23 failed so bad the NFL is finally questioning EA. the problem i have. is they did make a good game this year. so people are going to praise it. and the NFL will resign the exclusive contract . resulting in EA turning right back into the EA we all know and hate. so. enjoy madden 25. praise it. it will be the last good madden in the next 10 years. if we continue to hate EA the way we should. NFL wont resign and we will actually get what the genre needs. VARIETY.. tldr: stop praising madden25 for the sake of OUR FUTURE as players. (ea says this: lets give them something shiny so they stay blind and stupid. how about shiny player animations and presnap stances? perfect. they will never know. its so shiny they will praise us)

      That deal the NFL made with madden is not going to be about good reviews tho...and what pressure? Madden sells. It's a numbers game. The end. The problem is ultimate team that's the real devil and it's not going anywhere...even if the NFL signed 3 contracts with Sega ultimate team would quadruple whatever 2k game they could come up with...and since noone has even been trying to program a football game even if the exclusivity runs up noone is ready to compete even in 2 years.

    New viewer from Australia. Bought in on CFB25 and dipped on the bundle with Madden. The things that are missing from CFB feels like they could be there in Madden. But maybe I'm still an outsider? Not sure. There's some elements to CFB25 that feel cheap, especially picking a defensive play that looks like one thing and, on the field, looks completely different. As if there's an attempt to script the gameplay, especially on higher difficulties. At the risk of rambling, I'm tempted with Madden even though a month ago, there was zero interest from me. I guess I want to compare, which is probably exactly what EA wants from my wallet. Thanks for the insights and intelligent conversation, fellas. Appreciate you.

    • @LetsTalkNerdyPodcast

Happen to me atleast 5 times in 2 games . The one on ones are legit . But db and dline gets confused on what animation it should use or who to cover . Yes its a turd covered in chocolate 😂 but it's the only chocolate in the house ! Enjoy ( 8:30 he says same thing about tackling)

    TBF the budget for the game isnt $100 million, thats just the total amount that was raised. Think about everything else that does need to go into a game, marketing, community, the backend server rentals/leases etc. Realistically the games budget might be half or just more than half of the investment for the game itself. That said, you should check out the gameplay trailer that dropped a couple days ago, its so much better than watching a cinematic trailer. There will also be the Aug 14th broadcast on Twitch from Splitgate.
