'Hellboy' unleashes apocalyptic trailer with monsters and blood aplenty
Watch Next

Well, looks like some kind of apocalypse is here in the latest look at the forthcoming Hellboy film starring Stranger Things' David Harbour.

Set to a cover of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," the trailer offers up a pretty hectic look at the Dark Horse Comics-based film, with more than a few monsters for our pal to take care of.

Plus, there's some kind of sexy blood shower, who knows?

Directed by Neil Marshall and starring Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Penelope Mitchell, and Daniel Dae Kim, the film sees our main dude Hellboy attempting to thwart a powerful fifth century sorceress (Jovovich) with plans to y'know, destroy humankind. Classic.

Hellboy lands in cinemas on Apr. 12, 2019. Meanwhile, here's the first trailer.
