From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro ("Blade II," "The Devils Backbone") comes "Hellboy," a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignolas popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell, and brought to our world in a pagan ritual, the fierce red hero, Hellboy (Perlman), was saved by his friend and mentor, the benevolent Dr. Broom (Hurt). Raised in Brooms Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy joins the likes of the "Mer-Man" Abe Sapi
en, Liz Sherman (Blair), the woman he loves who can psychically control fire, and Myers, the FBI agent who is his rival for Lizs affections. Together, our heroes must come to terms with fantastic powers that prove to be both a blessing and a curse. In the process they discover that their abilities serve to benefit mankind but may also keep them forever isolated from the society that only they can protect. |
