Ichabod Crane vs The headless Horseman

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2007)

Sleepy Hollow is a wonderful film.it is very atmospheric, visually stunning and very creepy.Tim Burton does a wonderful job of directing here.this a very well paced film with excellent acting performances from all.the great Johnny Depp plays the role of Ichabod Crane,a very quirky police investigator who,due to his radical theories,is banished to the remote village of Sleepy hollow.Once there it is his job to solve the mysterious murders supposedly perpetrated by the Headless Horseman.the movie is set in the latter half of the 18th century.The supporting cast all put in great performances.This a movie that will disturb you and keep you enraptured by it's beautiful visual style.Sleepy Hollow is also a movie of substance.Burton recreates the time and place very authentically.Though Burton can be hit and miss with his films,he hits the mark with this one. 10/10
