Neil Marshall felt "handcuffed" by the creative process on 'Hellboy'. The 50-year-old filmmaker has returned to his horror roots with his new flick 'The Reckoning', and he made a conscious decision after being disappointed with the way things worked on the 2019 comic book reboot. He told SFX magazine: "I was kind of handcuffed on that film. It was really miserable, because I didn't get any creative input in the project. "And so for this one I deliberately sacrificed having a budget for having complete control over the film. "It was rough, but it was a way more satisfying experience. I'm proud of what I've achieved out of very little."
