Hellboy: The Crooked Man Director Brian Taylor Explains Why The Movie Is A Classic Horror
Director Brian Taylor discussed the distinct way his Hellboy: The Crooked Man adaptation diverges from previous portrayals of the popular comic book character, as depicted by Guillermo del Toro. From the initial trailers released, it’s clear that this film veers towards a darker tone, but Taylor emphasizes his version leans heavily into horror elements. In an interview with GamesRadar+ during San Diego Comic-Con, he stated, “This is a horror story, this is a horror film – it’s very simple,” encapsulating his creative approach.
