Review of Hellboy (2004) by David Edelstein for Slate — 06 Jul 2016
Guillermo del Toro is in a class with Peter Jackson as a fan-boy who gets it--a brilliant filmmaker who has a kind of metabolic connection to horror and sci-fi that helps him transform secondhand genre material into something deep and nourishing.
Del Toro reaches into himself and finds the Wagnerian grandeur in schlock.
