Sleepy Hollow (DVD) Reviews

I was surprised by how old this film is now as it was made just over 12 years ago (makes me feel old too!). It's a bit of a classic and one that Depp lovers will probably appreciate; having watched it again more recently I remembered why I liked it at the time and that it manages to retain its classic appeal. Sleepy Hollow ...  Read the complete review

I began to watch this film when I was very young, but my parents didn't really think it was appropriate for my viewing (I was only seven). Since then I've not really heard of Johnny Depp again until the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out. It was at his point where someone in my family became obssesed with him and started buying all ...  Read the complete review

I can't say I'm a massive fan of Johnny Depp but there are a growing collection of his films which have managed to get themselves into my top choices list. Sleepy Hollow being one of them. And what more could be suitable than watching multiple decapitations on a Friday night with the lights off? Especially when it's being directed by ...  Read the complete review

Tim Burton's work can be summed up in a single word - atmospheric. And this was never more so than in his film 'Sleepy Hollow'. Forget the Disney cartoon version, this is one for grown ups...with strong stomachs at that. The story starts in New York, where Constable Crane (Johnny Depp) is at work, recovering a floater, from ...  Read the complete review

I remember watching this just after it came out on video (yes, that long ago) and thinking 'this isn't so scary', right before it really made me jump out of my seat! Don't be fooled though, this isn't a mindless, plot-less two hour gore fest; this is pure Burton gold as once again he takes a wonderful old story and brings it ...  Read the complete review

The Film ----------- The film was written by Andrew Kevin Walker and is based on the fairy tale of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. Filming took place in London, although some parts were filmed in New York, close to the actual town of Sleepy Hollow.

I enjoyed watching this film as it has everything you wanted in a creepy sorts of kids film, the headless man chasing everybody and the little scientist which is played by Johnny Depp who is rather good. There is also a little good love story which I thoroughly enjoy would recommend to any body who wanted this film. The special effect ...  Read the complete review

Tim Burton's films have a reputation for featuring bizarre sets and creating a balance between truly good and evil characters. The director responsible for such films as Beetlejuice, the Nightmare Before Christmas and Batman always produces films which I find interesting to watch, even if the plot is not to my liking. With Sleepy ...  Read the complete review

The opening few scenes of Sleepy Hollow set the scene and general mood of the film – the opening titles are brilliantly integrated into the scenes they overlap – varying from watery to misty as you see the hero of the tale, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) make his journey to the small town of the title. He is on his way to ...  Read the complete review

Taking an all too familiar character and giving it a good ol’ working out has both its benefits and drawbacks. In cases like these two scenarios are likely to unfold. Either the audience will relate to it fairly easily and enjoy it on these terms, or that it will lack originality to make it as truly compelling as the director ...  Read the complete review

I have for many years now big a rather avid fan of one Mr Tim Burton; I have always admired his somewhat darker vision and it’s impact on the films he creates. My first encounter with his work was the sublime Bettlejuice, which yes I admit there are faults with but still it is in essence a great film which will always have ...  Read the complete review

I remember seeing a short cartoon film on the Headless Horseman as a child, I never went near a horse for years. This year I watched "Sleepy Hollow" and now I remember why I was terrified as a child. Tim Burton directed this magnicient dark horror story based upon a classic story. The action and acting are ...  Read the complete review

Gothic melodrama echoes around the halls and it’s strangely monochromatic (or as Mrs D would say, “Why’s it in black and white?”). Very, very flash adverts beckon the unsuspecting watcher in like a clammy pair of hands gathering its victims with the promise of all manner of ghoulish delights. It’s ...  Read the complete review
