Variety reports on Budapest F/X house creating creepies for 'Hellboy II'.
When Ivan Poharnok founded the Budapest-based special effects company Filmefex in 1996, most of the work was for commercials. Now it's almost exclusively feature films. This year, Filmefex has already doubled up on Universal's "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" and "Nutcracker: The Untold Story," a $65 million English-Canadian-Hungarian co-production.
Filmefex specializes mostly in makeup and prosthetics work. On "Hellboy 2," the company was involved in making a special creature for a scene that takes place in a troll market, as well as building statues and several full-sized replicas of the Golden Army.
