Extraordinary Vision

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2007)

In Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton has crafted a vision of Gothic gloom unsurpassed in modern films. All the elements of film-making are brilliantly united. The music is eerie and powerful, the sets are literally out of this world(what an amazing imagination this man must have), the casting is perfect. I could go on and on. I love the way Burton lets loose and dives into the gory tale with great passion and enthusiasm. Furthermore, it is wonderful to see violence being used in a honest and cynical manner. I'm referring to the scene in which the whole family is slaughtered... (similar style as Pans Labyrinth) Not that I condone violence, but used truthfully it is a very potent tool. 9 out of 10 from a huge fan!
