A Nazi world domination scheme in the 1940s opens a portal
to a mystical dimension inhabited by otherworldly creatures. Through the portal
comes a demon who’s supposed to be Satan's offspring and is dubbed Hellboy (Ron
Perlman). Hellboy is red, huge, has horn nubs on his forehead, yellowish eyes, a
tail and an armored hand, and he grows up to be a force for good, becoming the
protector of the citizens of Earth. Other creatures include Abe Sapien, an
amphibian hominid who has gills, webbed fingers and feet, a pyrokinetic woman
who can set things on fire at will, Hell Hound, a reincarnating beast with large
fangs, a really long tongue, tentacles and several yellow eyes, and a man
wearing a black plastic mask who has a penchant for self mutilation. Also with
Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans, John Hurt, Doug Jones
and David Hyde Pierce. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. [1:52 - PG-13]
