Pretty decent horror

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2005)

I felt that at times throughout the entire movie that Tim Burton was being his deliberate just plain gross self which does bother me. There was no need to go completely overboard just to impress the younger horror crowd but he did and there you have it. Johnny Depp was good and the rest of the cast was the same. It also does not have much to do with the original story so if you are looking for a carbon copy of the old Disney classic keep looking you won't find it here. Icabod Crane is called upon to investigate a series of deaths in Sleepy Hollow and begins to suspect that the young daughter of Van Tassel is more than involved. The headless horseman is also an obvious suspect as everyone's head keeps getting cut off. A good twist ending is mandatory and is duly delivered. I may watch this one again sometime lord knows when that will be but I won't mind when I do.
