Hellboy (2004)

In 2004, the already fifty-four-year-old actor Ron Perlman took on the role of a comic book character who was a complete unknown to most people in mainstream audiences. Hellboy is one of Dark Horse’s most popular characters, but bringing him to the big screen was undoubtedly a big risk for Columbia Pictures to take.

They needn’t have worried, however, as the movie was brilliant, and managed to make a modest profit at the box office. Such was the level of success that a sequel was even released four years later, and some fans are even pushing for a third movie, although Perlman is now 65 years of age.

Perlman is, however, the perfect Hellboy, and it’s undoubtedly his performance that made the movie as great as it was.

And now, we move on to the goriest movie on this list.
