A successful Hollywood remake

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2002)

A very daring hollywood remake on one of the first American fairy tales. The cinematography of Sleepy Hollow, captivates the audience, and portrays just the right mood for this horror, thriller, comedy. Kudos to Johnny's over the top performance of the forensics scientist Ichabod even though the acting may falter in some scenes (esp. the fainting). An all-star cast from both Europe and America, very talented. This seems like Tim Burton's ode to the classic Black Sunday by Mario Bava on terms of mood and setting. Some jumpy scenes and an awesome headless horseman makes this movie a winner.
