Great movie, although not for the tiddlers (slight spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2004)

I love this movie to death, it broke me into my love of horror films. I watched at the age of 9, with my sisters and friend. It scared the bejeebers out of me, but it still fascinated me, with all its gore. Tim Burton is a fantastic director, and knows just when to put a splash of blood or a pair of dead staring eyes. I still say that the most frightening-or at least disturbing-part is when the boy is hiding beneath the floorboards and his mothers head gets snicked off. Sleepy Hollow wasn't frightening in the sense of ghoulies and ghosties, but more in the sense that there is something lurking, that you cannot escape from it, and that the headless horseman is out for YOUR blood. So, basically, this is a fantastic movie, but you may not want to show it to your kids(or squeamish friends) quite yet...oh wait, it's rated 'R', isn't it...
