More things go bump in the night in these Hellboy animated films
The first Hellboy movie was really good. It had a great cast, a strong villain, good special effects and told a gripping story. People have told me good things about the Hellboy animated films, but I hadn’t had a chance to watch them. That changed when I heard ‘Blood and Iron’ and ‘Sword of Storms’ was coming to 4K Ultra HD. I was able to get a review copy and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for ‘Blood and Iron’ here:
When Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien are assigned to investigate the ghost-infested mansion of a publicity-hound billionaire, they uncover a plot to resurrect a beautiful yet monstrous vampire from Professor Bruttenholm’s past. But before they can stop her bloodbath, Hellboy will have to battle harpies, hellhounds, a giant werewolf, and even the ferocious goddess Hecate herself. How much crap does a guy have to take from a Hungarian Blood Countess before he and his surrogate father can avenge the souls of the damned? It’s going to take more than just a horde of very pissed-off demons for our heroes to see the light in this animated adventure from creative producers Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola.
You can read the plot for ‘Sword of Storms’ here:
A folklore professor becomes unwittingly possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning. But when The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense dispatches a team of agents to investigate, a cursed samurai sword sends Hellboy to a supernatural dimension of ghosts, monsters, and feudal mayhem. Now, while pyrokinetic Liz Sherman and fishboy Abe Sapien battle one very pissed-off dragon, a lost and cranky Hellboy must find his way home. Even if he can survive the perilous journey, how much crap does a guy have to put up with from the two most vengeful and ferocious spirits of Japanese legend?

I really enjoyed watching ‘Blood and Iron’ and Sword of Storms’. Hellboy got take on some powerful monsters, and taking them down was going to be a real challenge. There was plenty of action, some mystery and suspense and tons of surprises. If you liked the live action Hellboy films then you will want to check these movies out.
Hellboy ‘Blood and Iron’ and ‘Sword of Storms’ arrives on 4K Ultra HD combo pack tomorrow. You can pre-order this set at Bestbuy, Walmart and Target.
