They all look creepy, rednecky, deformed and "inbred". The Chapel of Moloch could be great dark and spooky TV series episode and the last Makoma is a very interesting and dreamy story.

  • Hellboy Premieres in Uk Cinemas 11 April After Part
    HELLBOY PREMIERES IN UK CINEMAS 11 APRIL AFTER PART- FILMING IN BRISTOL >> Watch the trailer, featuring Bristol’s Waring House << BRISTOL, 9th April 2019: The highly anticipated third Hellboy movie is set to premiere in UK cinemas this week (11th April), after part-filming in Bristol in 2017. Lionsgate’s ‘R-rated reboot’ of the international film franchise is directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and stars David Harbour (Stranger Things), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil series), Ian McShane (John Wick), Daniel Dae Kim (Hawaii Five-0) and Sasha Lane (American Honey). Principal photography mainly took place in Bulgaria, but it was Bristol and the surrounding area that provided the backdrop for the UK leg of the shoot. Bristol’s Bottle Yard Studios provided the UK production base, supplying offices, construction areas and prop stores. Night shoots for major scenes starring lead character Hellboy (David Harbour) took place in September 2017 at Waring House in Bristol’s Redcliffe area, which can be seen in the opening moments of the movie’s trailer. The demanding shoot featuring SWAT teams, firearms and armoured vehicles, was arranged with help from Bristol Film Office who assisted with location scouting, recces, arranging unit bases and parking. They also helped producers liaise with residents, advising on donations for the local community and ensuring translation needs were met so that communications were fully accessible. (left) UK crew Joel Stokes, Jade Stevenson & Hannah Bone and (right) 8 yr old fan Bobby from Southville with David Harbour during filming at Waring House (credit: Benjamin Greenacre) Hellboy’s Unit Production Manager (UK) Benjamin Greenacre says: “Hellboy was the fourth - and biggest - film that I’ve shot in my home city and Bristol never disappoints; it’s an exceptional place in which to make a movie.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

    EYE PROTEIN? — The Cinema of Attractions in Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films University of Jyväskylä Art History (Digital Culture) Department of Art and Culture Studies Mirkka Suhonen Master’s Thesis February 2014 JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO Tiedekunta – Faculty Laitos – Department Faculty of Humanities Department of Art and Culture Studies Tekijä – Author Mirkka Suhonen Työn nimi – Title EYE PROTEIN – The Cinema of Attractions in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy films Oppiaine – Subject Työn laji – Level Art History (Digital Culture) Master's Thesis Aika – Month and year Sivumäärä – Number of pages 02/2014 101 Tiivistelmä – Abstract The cinema of attractions is a phrase coined by Tom Gunning and André Gaudreault, referring to an aesthetic of astonishment that dominated the early film prior narrativization. It is a cinema that keeps the spectator aware of the act of looking by taking direct contact and engaging curiosity. According to Gunning, it never truly vanished, and continues to serve as an essential part of narrative films. The concept has been highly influential. In recent years, there has been discussion whether it would be useful also in examining Hollywood's contemporary spectacle film. Driven by the spectacular, Hollywood today is said to be closer in spirit to the cinema of attractions than it has been in decades. Emphasis on the spectacular, frequently associated with the digital threshold, has lead to dismissal of spectacular Hollywood blockbusters as empty spectacles, nothing more than special effects. It has fed concern for the demise of the narrative, and even the death of film itself. It is argued, however, that these films continue to tell reasonably coherent stories, and that the relation between spectacle and narrative should not be conceived in terms of opposition but dialectical tension.
