A Story Perfectly Matched to Tim Burton

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2010)

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," with its Gothic trappings, eerie atmosphere and macabre sense of humor, was pretty much tailor made to be directed by Tim Burton, a director whose style could easily be defined as encompassing all of the above.
Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane and Christina Ricci is his love interest. The story is filled out to fill a feature length movie, and I honestly can't remember much about the plot. But the plot doesn't matter, because the star of the film is its ghoulish production design.
Miranda Richardson steals some scenes as a wicked and wickedly fun witch.
Grade: B
