The latest Hellboy movie, The Crooked Man, is out now in UK theaters (sadly US fans will have to wait a little bit longer, as it's making its debut digitally on October 7). You can find out what we thought about the new film in our Hellboy: The Crooked Man review , but perhaps you've already seen it and have some questions about the ending? No fear, we've got you covered. Hellboy: The Crooked Man is directed by Brian Taylor, from a script by Christopher Golden, Taylor, and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.
Perhaps because of the latter's involvement, this is the most faithful to the original comics that the Hellboy movies have ever been. Indeed, the film is a direct adaptation of the three-issue comic series by Mignola and artist Richard Corben that was first published in 2008. In the film, Hellboy (played by Jack Kesy) and Bobbie "Jo" Song (Adeline Rudolph) investigate strange goings on in a small Appalachian town that is beset by witches and the evil Crooked Man – a devilish figure who has captured the soul of former soldier Tom Ferrell (Jefferson White).
Does Hellboy defeat the Crooked Man? The film's final act sees Tom and Hellboy track the Crooked Man through the woods to kill him. This leads them to a derelict mansion, where Hellboy is beset by visions – including one of his mother Sarah – while Tom fights Effie using his magic cat's bone and is able to defeat her, eventually blasting her through a window. At the same time, Jo and Reverend Watts go into the mines.
Wat.
