Profile of Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow can be described as stylized, atmospheric, and captivating. The plot revolves around legends and myths, ghosts, and curses, spells and rituals. The main genres are horror, mystery, and romance. In terms of style, Sleepy Hollow is gothic and is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, in a small town. Sleepy Hollow takes place in the 18th century. The soundtrack is orchestral. It is derived from a short story. Sleepy Hollow has received attention for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. Note that it involves strong violent content and sexual content.

Summary of Sleepy Hollow

In Tim Burton's stylish, creepy retelling of the classic Washington Irving story, SLEEPY HOLLOW, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is a squeamish, bookish 18th century New York City investigator sent to a small town in lower Westchester county to look into three mysterious decapitations. When the always rational Crane arrives at the little Dutch village, he finds that most of the townsfolk believe the culprit to be the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a monstrous Hessian soldier (Christopher Walken), who seems to be mysteriously tied in to one of the town's most prominent families. Burton's natural instincts for campy humor, combined with the hauntingly gorgeous technical work (Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography and Danny Elfman's score included), collide to create a work of exhilarating entertainment and poetic storytelling. Miranda Richardson, Casper Van Dien and Christina Ricci help make up an ensemble cast that, combined with the historically accurate village sets and dreamlike magic of the haunted Western Woods--created on the largest sound stage in film history--makes SLEEPY HOLLOW a visually stunning, gripping, and, at times, chilling film.

USA Today

This is a very bloody fantasy (reds do eke their way into the black-and-blues), but it's hard to think of another film with as many severed heads whose overall tone is so sweet. Full Review
