Sleepy Hollow

Loosely wrapped around Washington Irving’s classic American tale, Tim Burton brings his unique vision and cinemagraphic magic to the Legend of Sleep Hollow. Set in the late 1700’s in rural upstate New York, Johnny Depp’s portal of a slightly geekish, somewhat squeamish Ichabod Crane is a modern movie classic. The story unwraps slowly, peeling back each layer to reveal the darkness beneath. Christopher Walken thunders on to the screen as the completely believable ruthless headless horseman bringing with him destruction and wrath. While never straying too far from the classic, director Tim Burton adds enough treats and twists to his interpretation of Washington Irving’s plot to keep even those familiar with the story well entertained. Throughout the film, little snippets and vignettes are taken from classic movie interpretations of this tale giving the viewer both a sense of familiarity and one of déjà vu. But just when a comfort zone is reached, it is appropriately shattered and heads roll. This movie is a must see for all who enjoy classic dark terror at its finest.
