Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton

One movie a day 

Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton

1799, inspector Ichabod Crane has a rational mind and scientific methods. He is send to the village of Sleepy Hollow where bodies of the rich bourgeois Peter Van Garrett, his son and the widow Winship were found beheaded. Crane faces on his arrival the elders of the town who tell him that the responsible for these crimes is a headless horseman dead during the war of Independence.

Heads will roll !


Sleepy Hollow is based on the novel by Washington Irving, exit at the end of the 19th century. This is another great performance from Johnny Depp who I found convincing. The story was interesting, but unfortunately predictable. However, this is offset by a well-placed music and especially beautiful costumes. We believe it ! We can still see Burton's great mastering of the fantastic movies.
