Disappointing

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2002)

I am not a fan of Tim Burton movies, but watched this anyway. Perhaps I missed the point but maybe this should've been called 'Scooby Doo and The Headless Horseman'! Whoever thinks this is a horror is clearly missing something and has not seen any bona fide horror movies such as The Exorcist, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Night of the Living Dead or Psycho. I thought the film was stupid, but decent performances from Christina Ricci, Richard Griffiths and Christopher Lee give it some credence. If you like Tim Burton, watch this movie, if not - give it a miss and watch a proper horror film or an episode of 'Scooby Doo'.
