Tim Burton's most Violent/Dark movie ever.

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2006)

This is based off of the famous American tale of Sleepy Hollow. Which is know to be the first American Fairytale. Only this is different from the story you know by heart.
In this version Ichabald Crane is a New York investigator not a school teacher who uses surgery tools to solve how a person dies. He's given an assignment on the murders that occurred in the town of Sleepy Hollow.
When he was there he learned from the locals that the murders are done by the Headless Horseman. Who was originally a violent Hessian who killed many American Troops during the Revolutionary Era of America. He himself eventually got killed when his own head chopped off.
And it is believed that the ghost of that Hessian aka the headless Horseman comes back from the dead and kill innocent people till he finds his head.
Ichabald who isn't superstitious finds it impossible for that to be true. And tries to convince them that the killings are done by a murder.
But as the plot goes along, Ichabald will soon learn that these killings are more than just a ghost story. And the mystery behind it all is very unpredictable.
I have to admit I did like this movie a lot. I wouldn't of been able to seen it back in 1999 cause I was still a kid back then. But I think it was well done even if it's different from the original story. It's the only R rated movie Tim Burton has done so far.
it also has plenty of celebrates like Johnny Depp as Ichabald, Christopher Lee, Ian McDiamard, 2 actors from Harry Potter films, and 2 actors from Tim Burton's BatMan Returns.
A must see for the die hard Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fans. Just be sure you're mature enough to see an R rated movie. Cause this movie has a lot of violence in it.
