Hellboy: The Crooked Man

A person is executed by hanging during a brief but disturbing flashback. A demon uses telekinesis to skewer another character with metal poles, resulting in bloody aftermath detail. A fantastical being’s head is partially destroyed by the blast of a gun, although the injury is not bloody.

The film contains scenes of strong horror and suspense involving witches, demons and revenants, as well as attacks by a fantastical snake and a giant spider.

There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘whore’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘crap’, ‘screwed’ and ‘asshole’.

Sexual innuendo is infrequent and moderate.

A person from 1950s America compares an Asian American woman to an ‘oriental doll’. Discrimination is not condoned by the film.

There are occasional grisly scenes. For example, a person’s eyes are pecked out by birds, and a giant spider crushes another person’s head in its pincers, creating a darkly lit gush of blood and bodily tissue. In another scene a boneless and deflated human body magically reinflates in grotesque fashion.

There is infrequent non-sexualised breast nudity in a body horror context.
