Hellboy: The Crooked Man VOD Release Date Announced

Hellboy: The Crooked Man, the latest reboot of the Hellboy franchise, will be available for VOD purchase on October 7, 2024, with no U.S. theatrical release planned. Directed by Brian Taylor and based on Mike Mignola's comic series, the film stars Jack Kesy as Hellboy, who navigates a witch-infested town in 1950s Appalachia. Although it will debut in U.K. theaters on September 27, the film's lack of a domestic theatrical release is attributed to difficulties in securing a distributor. Mike Mignola has praised the film as the most faithful adaptation of his work so far, expressing excitement about seeing key moments from the comics brought to life. Despite mixed reviews, there's speculation about the film's potential for a limited theatrical run in the U.S. before its digital release. The film represents another attempt to revive the franchise following the disappointing 2019 installment.
