A visually stylish animated short, which captured perfectly well the aesthetic Mike Mignola developed for his comics.
In sharp contrast with the ominous visuals, the writing is quite humorous, feeling almost like a parody of similar stories about supernatural superheroes.
But it's pretty effective anyway, being quite entertaining to watch from beginning to end, with plenty of hilarious moments.
Shame this wasn't picked for a full series. While the original comic was merely a single story, The Amazing Screw-On Head had enough potential for a continuation.
This is how the Hellboy animated movies should have looked.
8.5/10.
