Hellboy. 2004.
Guillermo Del Toro's original take on the comic I forgot it was this entertaining, Ron Perlman's take on the character is brilliant as the demon hunter with some comical aspects that can give out a good laugh. Both Perlman and Doug Jones (who is no stranger to make up effects) must have endured a long process of having everything applied and Rick Baker doing his magic for both characters. The film does play homage to Lovecraft and has a feel of Cthulhu with the monsters and the dark tone of the film towards the start and ending that adds some gothic elements to it.
