Another masterpiece by Tim Burton

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2020)

The legendary fairy tale comes to life in the hands of visionary director Tim Burton, and the result is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Johnny Depp is well cast as Ichabod Crane, the film's unwilling hero, in a toned down performance by the superstar. 'Sleepy Hollow' is visually stunning and atmospheric. The film features some seriously creepy moments, enhanced by excellent photography.
The humor is subtle and effective, and so well performed by Depp. Humor, horror, action and fantasy blend to perfection in this mystery horror thriller. The film became more intriguing - and more horrific - as it progressed. There's literally never a dull moment here. Great acting by a veteran cast and a compelling script ensure credibility. Danny Elfman's score compliments the film.
The finale has a few surprises in store with a great climax. 'Sleepy Hollow' is an all-round fantastic production!
