A good looking flick

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 1999)

Last night I saw sneak preview of Sleepy Hollow, and I was not disappointed, and I suspect fans of Tim Burton won't be either. But this movie is not for all tastes. There is a lot of head-lopping, as one might expect, and it can be somewhat gruesome. Of course, being a Tim Burton movie, it also has quite a bit of dark humor, and while I loved it, some might not get the joke.
Visually, Sleepy Hollow is fantastic. Burton has completely recreated 1799 Sleepy Hollow. The Horseman effects are top notch and there are some very exciting action sequences. And I don't want to give away any of the fun, but the use of the color red in the movie is great too.
So be wary if you're faint of heart, but otherwise it's a lot of fun.
