Beautifully crafted and gory film

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 1999)

Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow is a well crafted and beautifully designed horror/fantasy film. Depp's performance gives the film a bit of comic relief at just the right moments. Don't take your kids to see this one based on the classic Sleepy Hollow tale. When they said heads will roll, they meant it. This film is one of the goriest I've seen in a while. I give it 8/10 only because the story could have been better. On visuals this one gets a 10/10.
