Spearheaded by the eager Constable Ichabod Crane and his new world ways into the quagmire of secrets and murder secrets once laid to rest best forgotten and now reawakened and he too holding a dark secret of a past once gone.
Review
Tim Burton has done it again. It seems he cant really go wrong especially when hes paired with Johnny Depp. Sleepy Hollow is the most visually stunning movie I have seen this year. The production is gorgeous in every way the cinematography is hauntingly beautiful the set design is incredible and the way Burton uses the color red to accentuate the lack of color and dreariness otherwise experienced in Sleepy Hollow is a visual treat. This movie is just absolutely beautiful to watch. The performances are flawless I have to commend Burton for using such a great array of underappreciated character actors such as Jeffrey Jones and Michael Gough.. and even poor little Casper Van Dien the man just cant seem to get any respect (and he doesnt here either). Ricci is wonderful in a role totally against type and Depp is refreshing as ever. Christopher Walken is just the coolest guy ever and as the Headless Horseman hes even scarier than normal. The best thing though is Danny Elfmans music. Why on earth doesnt the man have an Oscar yet What is going on He should at least get a nomination for this one.
