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 … see full wiki

***1/2 out of **** Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is such a timeless classic of Gothic terror that just about everyone has tried to adapt it successfully. I have survived through various children's animations and "adult" adaptations that make claims larger than the accumulative talent behind them has the chops to fulfill; and all for one near-perfect re-telling of Irving's story. Tim Burton is the man behind the magic; a very loose adaptation of the material … more

Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was one of the first ever horror novels written and even after almost 200 years the story still holds the mystery, intrigue and horror that it did all those years ago. Now in 199 Tim Burton puts his own twist on the original story that has terrified millions. Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" is as scary as it is original and sinister it doesn't … more

A quirky retelling of the Sleepy Hollow legend, but what else can you expect from the combination of Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Christina Ricci and Danny Elfman? In another characteristically weird role, Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane, only this time he's not a gawky school teacher, but a handsome (natch) Constable with a coroner's mind and a penchant for fainting after narrow escapes. After annoying the heck out of the Burgomaster (Christopher Lee) in New York, he gets posted … more

As far as adaptations of old American novels go, Tim Burton's visually rich, tightly composed, resplendent version of Washington Irving's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' ranks in the top echelon. The script for the screen is the work of Kevin Yagher and Andrew Kevin Walker and while it takes some liberties from Irving's story, the resulting dialogue and action pacing are so wholly in keeping with Burton's vision that it feels like an original story. Much of the magnificence … more
