Spooky!

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2000)

I've just seen this movie,and recommend it to anyone who likes Tim Burton's films - with their Gothic character (Mars Attacks!;Batman, Batman Returns, etc).
Johnny Depp is ideal as young Ichabod Crane, cast here as a police constable, with great faith in use of reason and detection; wavering with moments of terror, but brave overall.
The Headless (Hessian) Horseman is played by Christopher Walken (with head)and by Ray Park (without head) to great effect.
The whole movie is well-acted and has a sinister, gloomy atmosphere which is quite impressive; a blend of science and supernatural.
