Brilliant use of suspense

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2002)

This was a great horror/comedy film but then what else are you to expect from Tim Burton?
This had great use of suspense and had no plot holes unlike the Blair Witch Project. The horseman is brilliantly played by Christopher Walken and when he had his head he looked psychotic!
The story is based on a legend as many people know, a man from New York called Icabod Crane goes to investigate murders in a rural town. Each person dead being found decapitated. A young man called Masbath who's father has been murdered helps Crane find the murderer and goes into the western woods with him.
There is a twist to this story but unlike The Sixth Sense, you won't work it out.
This isn't the best horror of the decade(that title goes to Children of the Corn 3) its not the best horror from 1999(Deep Blue Sea, Stir of Echoes) but is a must see for all horror/suspense fans!
I give this an 8 out of 10.
