"Sleepy Hollow" defines good horror

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2003)

Dr. Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is sent to the dark town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate the beheadings of different townees. There, he - and others - are attacked by the headless ghost of a vicious horseman (Christopher Walken).
Each and every dreary, dark scene in 'Sleepy Hollow' scares you. The suspense is thrilling and the jumps are scarier then ever. Director Tim Burton's fusion dark comedy and gruesome horror bring one word to mind: masterpiece.
Probably the greatest thing about this film is the shading. Burton fades almost all colour, causing fleshtones to whiten and skies to become grey. This gives "Sleepy Hollow" that creepy gothic feel that everyone loves.
scary horror, 7.5/10.
