will restore your faith in horror movies

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 1999)

I am NOT a big fan of scary movies. Well, I'm not a big fan of anything scary. My best friend, however, is not scared of any movies or haunted houses. So, obviously, she tries to get me to do something scary about once a month. And this month, it was a scary movie. She had tried to get me to watch Carrie a while back and, of course, I chickened out. Now, the only scary movies I'd seen before Sleepy Hollow were Scream 2 and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. So believe me I was a bit skeptical when I walked into the theater Thursday night. But whatever small amounts of enthusiasm for horror flicks I had obtained through haunted houses and cheap horror flicks were greatly increased when I saw Sleepy Hollow. It was everything a scary movie should be, and more. So to all my fellow skeptics out there, this one will restore your faith in horror movies.
