Sleepy Hollow
"...An American classic." -Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Master storyteller Tim Burton (Batman, Edward Scissorhands) weaves an eerie, enchanting version of this classic tale of horror. Johnny Depp is Ichabod Crane, an eccentric investigator determined to stop the murderous Headless Horseman. Christina Ricci is Katrina Van Tassel, the beautiful and mysterious girl with secret ties to the supernatural terror.

Sleepy Hollow - TheWiz
Tim Burton casts a very well remake of an old Disney Animation. Move over Bing.
Johnny Depp, who actually looks like himself in this flick, portrays Ichabod fairly well. There are some inconsistencies with his character's personality from one scene to another, which should not happen from an actor of his calibre - or maybe Johnny is over-rated?
Christopher Walken. While it is a minor headless role; when his face does appear, it lights up the screen.
In the end, it's TIm Burton who carries this movie from beginning to end. Great casting, great rehash of an old tale, great cinematography, ect, ect.
Save this one for Halloween night with double portions of popcorn!Classic! - PopcornGallagher
I watch this movie every year at Halloween and sometimes in between! It is the perfect combination of thriller and romance. A little blood but definitely not a horror movie. Depp and Ricci do an incredible job at making their characters believable. Their love story is just as central to the theme as Icobod finding out who the headless horseman is. They do this without making it cheesy or overshadowing the thriller/mystery theme. A must see.Atmospheric and Fun. - filmgeek
Yet another excellent teaming of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Seriously, the creative efforts between those two never seem to disappoint.
The film is all atmosphere, and a fine adaptation of the classic story. Great blend of humour, action, gore, and suspense.
Special mention should go to Danny Elfman's rousing score, which never fails to punctuate each scene.
Highly Recommended.
