BURTON AT HIS BEST!

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 1999)

SLEEPY HOLLOW is one of the most gorgous films ever...well filmed. Using a grey for most of the film greatly sets the mood of the pic, most of it being at night. There are several flashbacks to Ichabod Crain's childhood, and those are shot in a contrasting brighter than life colors. Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci are magnificant, both greatly complimenting each other. the story flows very easily, and you are involved at each moment the movie runs. You are brought into the mystery of the Headless Horseman, and ultimately a quest to find out just who controls him, and to stop that person. As soon as you decide that you know who controls him, another surprise. this happens again and again. the movie never stops making you think. and you enjoy every thought. This is definately a film that i'll be seeing again and again. I encourage everybody to go see this film. you will not leave disappointed. Scary, funny, and...well it's a Burton film, so you know you are in for a treat. Burton at his best.
