captain_robert_april Review of Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Finally, a horror movie that would make Karloff and Price proud.

[10/10 · 26 November 1999]

Excellent film all around. Sleepy hollow is equally scream and laugh, reminiscent of the horror films of old. Christopher Walken is ghoulishly evil playing a movie version of the headless horseman very reminiscent of the classic Frankenstein film's monster. Unlike some horror films, who try to be overly important or be deep, this film just takes you along for a ride, being careful to let you make a few calls. Also, it doesn't slip into the slasher film either. thats not to say there is not gore, but its not senseless "see how much blood we used" gore. Its more of a "why did I get involved in this and how do I stop it gore." Its a 10 out of 10 in my book. Made me feel like I was watching the classic actors in the old Universal films one more time! Great fun!
