Gothic Gore

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 1999)

Wow! What an experience viewing this film was! Tim Burton has done it again, and has created a marvelous, gothic modern horror classic. Sleepy Hollow is undoubtedly one of the most atmospheric horror films to be made of late. It has gobs of gory blood, splendid acting(most notably from the ever-impressive Johhny Depp), a caravan full of suspense, and the typical Burton touches of witty dialogue, creative secondary characters/casting, and some most bizarre and impressive special effects. The film is as fraught full of laughs as it is fright. And the advertisement does not lie when it says...Heads will roll...and indeed they do...again and again. My only major complaint is that veteran horror star Christopher Lee is basically an ornament in one scene and only one scene. Pity his greatness was wasted. Nonetheless....A must-see!
