Could be better, could be worse

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2001)

(possible spoilers) The first thing that I think of when I think of Sleepy Hollow, is BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD!!!!!!!!! I will never have a problem seeing decapitations again.
I had a hard time getting, "attatched" to the characters. For example, when Magistrate Philipse was decapitated, I laughed. When Brom Van Brunt was cut in half, I laughed. I laughed when most things happened that weren't supposed to be funny, and things that should have been funny, confused or bored me.
I thought the special effects were fairly well done. If possible, see this on DVD, and watch the special features. It is very interesting learning how they did everything, like make the prosthetic heads and train the horses, etc.
I would have liked there to be a little more explanation in the plot. I was never entirely sure what "5 victims, 4 graves" added up to, but its possible that it went in one ear and out the other. I also didn't completely understand the flashbacks that Ichabod had (with his mother) but I won't drag on that to much.
Overall, I enjoyed this film. Even though I laughed alot more than I screamed, I was entertained, and that is the purpose of any movie.
