Pros: Johnny Depp. Suspenseful and interesting. Cons: None for me. Could be too violent and gory for some people.
Since seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl I have become a big fan of Johnny Depp. I had seen and enjoyed some of his earlier movies, like Sleepy Hollow, but I hadn’t ...
Pros: Johhny Depp, Christina Ricci, Directed by Tim Burton, quite dark Cons: not very scary, too much supernatural and not enough substance
With a case of three people being decapitated in the small town of Sleep Hollow, a New York detective of sorts is commissioned to investigate the cause, and track down the killer. Ichabod Crane is the name of the man sent, and it seems that this case ...
Pros: It's Burton. Are you kidding? Cons: I did what?
I was looking through some old posts at a message board I belong to today and came across a discussion I never finished. The topic was based, in part, around parents who take children to inappropriate movies. I had stated that I let my six-year-old ...
Well, I was positively overjoyed to have to chance to participate in Psychovant's "2nd Halloween Write-Off (Of Sorts)," as she originally called it. After all, the divine Ms. y (That's a Greek letter psi, for those of you who didn't know. [No, wait, it...
Pros: Great special affects and cinematography
Cons: Story becomes bogged down with supernatural affects that detract from the credibility of the film
You know the film misses its mark when the most memorable line is a lame attempt at humor in this macabre drama, which is little more than a disjointed romp through the legendary Sleepy Hollow. For those of you who thought this may be a modern version of...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, great cast and acting, awesome soundtrack Cons: A bit too comical, not scary
Disclaimer: I am a huge Tim Burton fan, therefore this opinion will be biased.
Sleepy Hollow is based on the classic Washington Irving tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". It is about a 'headless horseman' who rides only at night...
Burton’s adaptation of Washington Irving’s ghost story is one filled with atmosphere and a some thoroughly exciting sequences. But, it is also one marred by some silly dialogue and one particularly bad performance. The special effects are...
Pros: excellent work by Depp, stunning visuals Cons: wooden, faux-blonde Ricci; average suspense
After the travesty that was T

Man Who Cried, I still wasn't convinced that Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci were a bad movie match. They have that John Waters/indie movie vibe, and I was convinced it could work. Who ...
Pros: Dark and creepy, superbly acted, a real winner. Cons: Strays a little too far afield from the original story.
Sleepy Hollow (1999) Directed by Tim Burton, Based on the tale by Washington Irving Villainy wears many masks, none of which so dangerous as virtue... Ichabod Crane The small village of Sleepy Hollow has suffered three mysterious ...
In most cases the special effects were handled nicely and the acting done well, but the movie Sleepy Hollow suffers from shades of grey.
Almost the whole movie is filmed with a grey lense attachment which gives it that 'dark' feeling. In this case,...
Pros: scary, well casted, great plot, inventive situations Cons: scary, quite dark.
I am not a big fan of horror or thriller movies, but I was told this movie wasn’t that scary, ya right, but I managed to watch it from beginning to end.
This movie is quite twisted and it might take watching a time or two to understand it...
Pros: Wonderfully designed scenes and re-developed characters Cons: Requires the viewer to take huge leaps of faith as it concludes
As the film opens up with the haunting score of master songwritter Danny Elfman that is accompanied by thick, heavy drops of a blood like substance impacting clean parchment, Tim Burton established the dark mood that would remain to the end of the film....
Pros: great Halloween movie, style and story Cons: some offending elements, no imagination on the DVD
What has more atmosphere than I Know What You Did Last Summer, more style than Scream, a more fearsome ghostly villain than Friday the 13th, and a better story than all of them combined? It’s Sleepy Hollow. It is but it isn’t a horror movie. It is but ...
Pros: Subtle comedic acting by Johnny Depp Cons: a tad slow paced
Not everyone has the kind of face that can look "at home" in an unfamiliar era, transcending time without looking out-of-place. For instance, picture a Victorian K.D. Lang, an Elizabethan Sean Penn, or a cave-dwelling Wynoda Ryder. It just...
