It is absolutely chilling. The only fault I can find with the disc itself is a strange little production error. During chapter 9, the subtitles drop out for at least three minutes before resuming. I wish that Paramount had included some of the scenes cut the film reached the theatres. I know there's at least one, because I read most of the screenplay prior to seeing the film.
Someone demonstrates a cage-like contraption used to force convicts to sign bogus confessions.
Ichabod stands up and rails against the court for its barbaric methods, and makes a comment to the effect that their deduction methods are worth no more than the bogus confession. The theatrical cut retains the line about the worthless confession, and you can still see the man locked in the cage, but the lead-in that makes those things make sense is strangely absent. By all means, rush out and pick up Sleepy Hollow . It will please fans of action, period drama, horror movies steeped in atmosphere rather than gore, and, of course, Tim Burton fans. The movie has immense replay value, and while the disc may not be a showcase of your equipment, it is a superior product technically.
