SLEEPY HOLLOW (DIDIER BECU)

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2004)

I think no one can ever inside the mind of Tim Burton but one thing is clear though : he brought us some of the greatest fantasymovies ever...from Batman to The night before Christmas till this thriller. We are in the 19th Century in a time in where Sherlock Holmes were arising but were still seen as the enfants terribles. Johnny Depp aka Ichabold Crane is sent to some godforgotten town at where he has to do the research for some mysterious murders committed by the headless horseman... No need to spoil the fun as the plot isn't important (it's even pointless) but the gothic atmosphere that is created by Burton is one that is rarely found... Sometimes breathtaking and once again a great Depp.
