all i can say is OUCH..

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 1999)

Alas, the day of the fall of Burton has come. We all knew it had to come, as with other legendaries before him (such as Raimi - For Love of the Game? Bleech!). It seemed this film would have been much less painful to watch if the complicated-to-the-point-of-jargon script was abandoned and the entire movie consisted of the Headless Horseman doing his own thing. No point to ANY of the characters...ANY! Why did Casper van Dien bother gaining 30 lbs for a 30-second role??? Danny Elfman seems to have lost all ability to compose his classically haunting scores. At least i agree with the title - the writer must have been both SLEEPY and HOLLOW at the time.
