Better than the classic Disney animated short!!!

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 1999)

This movie is a update of the classic story. But in this movie, Crane is a cop sent to Sleepy Hollow to solve some unsolved murders. Crane moves in with the Van Tassell while working on the case. Eventually headless bodies start appearing and the horror of the "headless horseman" come out. The story of how he lost his head is shown in a flashback.The horseman is played by Christpher Walken(Blast from the Past). The costumes are excellent as the setting.It seems that everyone in Sleepy Hollow is related to each other. Crane eventually discovers who is controlling the horseman. The cast is great as you can never tell who is friend or foe. This movie is better than the classic Disney animated short as it gaves us time to deal with life in Sleepy Hollow, it's people and it's deadly secrets!!!If you like Johnny Depp,Christina Ricci or the other cast you might like this dark take on the classic story!!Or if you like any of Tim Burtons other movies check out his take on the classic horror story!!BTW, the town of Sleepy Hollow does really exist in reality!!!Go see this movie and have a fun time!!Forget the critics who hate this movie!!At least it's better than Disney's short !!!!
