Dec 21 2007'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' Trailer Contains No Disappointment, One Vagina-Mouth Thing
Guillermo del Toro has done many great things as a director, but perhaps none will have the continued resonance of the discovery he made in Pan's Labyrinth: that it's really f***ing freaky when a creature has eyes on its limbs rather than its head, where you'd expect them. After exploiting that little revelation (above), from the looks of this trailer, it appears he's found many more ways to make nightmare-inducing creatures in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. (The vagina-mouth thing at the 1:55 mark comes to mind.)
Despite some semi-cheesy computer effects and a villain that looks like a combination of Legolas and Rocky Horror's Riff Raff, the unquestionable brilliance of del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola gives me genuine hope for this sequel. So give it a look.

I heard an interview with the director of Pan's labyrinth where he said the eyes on the hands came from a psychology report he read. In the report it said when children make up monsters one of the first things they do is move the locations of standard body parts around. Put a mouth where it doesn't belong, or the eyes. Since Pan's labyrinth was in the mind of a child he did what he assumed a child would do.
He also said Pan came from a dream he had every time he stayed with his grandmother as a child. In the dream he would be in the bedroom and Pan would walk out from behind furniture.
