great Tim Burton look

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2015)

It's 1799. NYC police constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is bucking the system using modern forensic methods and being berated for it. The Judge sends him off to investigate the beheading murders in the small town of Sleepy Hollow. Wealthy Peter Van Garrett, his son Dirk and the widow Emily Winship are all found without their heads. He is boarding with Baltus Van Tassel and falls for his daughter Katrina (Christina Ricci). The elders recount the tale of a Hessian (Christopher Walken) who was beheaded during the Revolutionary war and has reborn into the headless horseman.
Tim Burton brings a brilliant dark moody foggy atmosphere. I love all the designs and the look. Johnny Depp is also terrific as a science geek. I like that he's a weakling and not necessarily the heroic type. Although he has determination. Depp adds a good deal of fun. The horror element isn't very scary but it is fun. It's definitely a movie more intrigued with the style than being a thrilling horror.
