Tim Burton's Gothic Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2004)

The kind of horror movie that just sinks into your very soul. Tim Burton's take on Washington Irvings classic horror novel "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
If you wanna know what is Art Direction then i recommend this movie to you.
The imagery of movie is great.
You feel that you are right there in 1799. Every thing seems so real and alive - the trees ,the windows,the graveyard. The tree of the dead is a Masterpiece.The very sight of it can send chills down your spine. Johnny Depp at his best.This is the kind of movie whose graphic violence and horror is so beautiful and at same time terrifying.
The comedy elements make movie more enjoyable.The only problem is that character of Ichabod crane played by johnny depp sometimes seems artificial, because at times he gets afraid of a spider and at other time he fools around the tree of dead with an axe whose mere sight can faint a man who gets afraid of spiders.
Above all a masterpiece to be cherished. Gothic masterpiece to be remembered for about decades to come.
