Heads Will REALLY Roll!

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2005)

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite movies for many reasons. I love the story of the Headless Horseman, and this new version of the classic tale is original and different. Tim Burton is an amazing director and has created a beautiful and haunting atmosphere. Although the movie is dark, it is very funny, and the two of these categories fit well together. This may appear to be a scary movie but, although there are some scary parts, you usually end up laughing at the end of these scenes. Johnny Depp gives a wonderful performance and is very comical. If you don't have any other reason to watch this movie, Johnny is the reason. The rest of the actors play their parts well and are enjoyable to watch. Danny Elfman is one of my favorite composers and with this movie he does a wonderful job adding to the emotion of the scenes. If you like darkly comical movies, you will like Sleepy Hollow.
