At 1 hour, 39 minutes, this is the shortest Hellboy film.
Reported to have a $20 million budget, which is the lowest of all four adaptations.
Jack Kesy was 36 during filming, making him the youngest actor to play Hellboy in a live-action film, surpassing David Harbour, who was 42 when he filmed Hellboy (2019).
Unlike the other three live-action Hellboy films, Mike Mignola, creator of the character, received a credit on this film for co-writing the screenplay. He has been very outspoken of his dislike for some of the creative choices of the first three films. Though he did receive story credit for Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), he still expressed his disappointment in that film.
In an interview with Novastream, director Brian Taylor stated that the title sequences wasn't planned out. He designed the title himself from his home. Because the film ran out of money, he used his After Effects and Photoshop skills to design the title sequence. He wanted to give the film a "Hammer Horror, kind of, 70s folk horror feeling going on".
