The red freak


(probably the roughest creature I've drawn)

I'm not a fan of Hellboy but I find the trailer alluring and it's rated 7.8 on imdb. The plot is straightforward: To stop the prince from awaking the golden army and thus waging a war on humans. It's adrenaline packed with gross creatures making sneaky jumps and grotesque flesh nibbling, and (chinese) sword fighting. Hoho you should see how the blade slashes through a falling water drop in slow motion.(deja vu?) Overall the plot is too simple and melodramatic. It's almost comic style. That however doesn't kill its outstanding performance in CG, although they could have improved a bit on skin texture which looks stiff and rubbery.
