Welcome back to The VHS Vault, where the tracking is fuzzy, the nostalgia is strong, and the takes are questionably spicy. In this episode, VHS_Jase and Jason Roy Gaston blow the dust off a flaming fistful of early-2000s weirdness: Guillermo del Toro’s 2004 comic book fever dream, Hellboy.
Does Ron Perlman deliver the best performance ever given by a man buried under 80 pounds of red latex? Did Rasputin really need that many costume changes? And most importantly—how did this movie manage to be goth, Catholic, pulpy, AND romantic all at once?
Expect sarcasm, praise, side-eye at 2000s CGI, and more than a few comments about Abe Sapien being a snack.
