Heads DID roll!

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 1999)

What a great film! Sleepy Hollow shows the moviegoer what happens when a classic story is taken and done right on the silver screen. Although, I must point out, Irving's Sleepy Hollow has little to do with Burton's. The premise is Irving's, but what Burton has added is sheer creative genius. A truly beautiful film, this kind of sets are what more movies need. Jonny Depp's Crane is truly fantastic, true to the character without becoming a stereotype. Depp is perfect in the part as the constable that must discover who (or what) is killing people in the little town in upstate New York. Van Dien as Brom is wonderful as well, proving once again (see Starship Troopers) that he is made for manly roles. Ricci is charming as Katrina Van Tassel, and the cameo by Christopher Lee is a nice touch(not to mention a familar face as the Horesman). All in all, this film delivers a lot of bang for the buck. Can't wait until this one comes out to own! See it, and be sure to look over your shoulder as you are walking to your car!
