Genre:

Synopsis:
A Japanese professor of folklore named Professor Sakai opens a forbidden scroll and becomes possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning, who seek to return and summon their brothers, the Dragons, to dominate the human world. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense is brought in after Sakai attacks one of his associates. Hellboy and a team of agents (including Kate Corrigan) investigate the possessed man's rampage, but when Hellboy picks up a mysterious, discarded samurai sword, he literally disappears into a weird wonderland of Japanese mythology. On his quest to return to our world, he encounters many monsters, including the kappa, a giant oni, a kitsune, rokurokubi, a tsuchigumo spider-woman, and three restless ghosts. Hellboy also meets a group of nukekubi in a segment of the film that is adapted virtually verbatim from the comic book story, Heads. In dual side plots, BPRD agents Corrigan and Russell Thorne (a psychic) follow the trail of the possessed professor, while Abe and Liz are stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean.
