Terror according to Burton....... Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2006)

I never heard about Tim Burton as an average or neutral director without an original point of view... never. And this film doesn't make you think that at all. Tim Burton, a very influent director of the modern times, whose curriculum includes "Batman", "Beetlejuice" and "Edward Scissorhands", dares to direct a horror film. Let's review it with a simple equation: Burton + Sleepy Hollow = Great. This film is absolutely great in all aspects. Let's write some of them: a) The dark style (a trade mark of Burton). b) The chilly music by Danny Elfman (a very good friend of Tim and an excellent composer). c) The wonderful photography of Emmanuel Lubezki (amexican like myself, one of the best director of photography). d) The excellent performances of Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci (Burton had already work with them one, with Depp in "Ed Wood" and "Edward..."; with Christina in "Beetlejuice").
Conclusion.- Three words: excellent, excellent, excellent.
