Devilman (デビルマン, Debiruman) is a 2004 Japanese superhero film directed by Hiroyuki Nasu.[1] It is based on the manga series of the same name.

The film was first scheduled for a May 2004 release, but was postponed to October 9, 2004 due to reshoots. Devilman was critically panned by critics and audiences, with many considering it as one of the Worst Japanese Films of all time. It was also a commercial failure, grossing 520 million yen, against a 1 billion yen production budget.[2]
