A work of art

Rating: Null/10 (21 February 2001)

This is definitely one of the most visually stunning films I have ever seen. The set designs are absolutely breathtaking; Tim Burton is a genius. The plot itself is an excellent adaptation of the original story. I wouldn't expect to be too terribly frightened as the movie is more of a mystery than anything else, and the ending is completely unexpected. The acting is wonderful; Johnny Depp is excellent and Michael Gambon and Miranda Richardson are great, as are Christopher Walken and Ian McDiarmid. The Horseman, despite his lack of any lines whatsoever, is really brought to life very well thanks to Nick Gillard, Ray Park, and Rob Inch (hey, I'm *obligated* to give props...they all also worked on the fights for The Phantom Menace ^_~). Overall, Sleepy Hollow is a very worthwhile film to see (but if you're going to rent it, try to get it in widescreen. Pan & scan just cannot do justice to the visual nature of this movie).
