Not Depp or Burton's Finest, but a Good Ride,

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2015)

Sleepy Hollow is a great movie with a very well written storyline and a really talented cast. There is a creepy atmosphere throughout and it is certainly one of Tim Burton's scariest films, they normally contained elements of horror but this film is a straight up horror, and Johnny Depp shines in the lead role as usual, further proving his versatile skills as an actor. I have come to expect a bit more from Burton, this film dosen't contain his usual trademarks and many elements that make his work so unique, it didn't feel like he put his own original spin to this, which is a significant thing for any of his films that isn't based on his own work. The build up in the film is great, it's constantly creepy and discomforting throughout as we know something big is coming, and the ending is certainly not disappointing. It's certainly not Burton or Depp's finest work, but Sleepy Hollow is still very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good mystery or horror.
After three people are murdered by a mysterious Headless Horseman, a man must investigate these unusual killings.
Best Performance: Johnny Depp
