Sleepy Hollow
1999
***½
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Michael Gambon, Miranda Richardson
In 1799 eccentric detective Ichabod Crane travels to the village of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of decapitations. The locals believe that Headless Horseman is behind the murders. The story, which was inspired by Washington Irving's short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, is not terribly interesting but Tim Burton's horror fantasy is enjoyable, and visually one of the most beautiful films ever made.
