Amazon.com:
The films of Tim Burton shine through the muck like a jack-o-lantern on a foggy October night. After such successes as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, it should come as no surprise that Sleepy Hollow is a dazzling film, a delicious reworking of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Dark and moody, the film is a thrilling ride back to the turn of the 19th century. Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane, a seemingly hapless constable from New York City who is sent to the small town of Sleepy Hollow to solve the mystery of the decapitations that are plaguing the town. Crane is a bumbling sort, with a tremendous faith in science over mysticism, and he comes up against town secrets, bewitching women, and a number of bodies missing heads. Christina Ricci, as beautiful as ever, is Katrina Van Tassel, the offbeat love interest who alternately charms and frightens Crane.

The film, while occasionally gory (as one should expect from a movie about a headless horseman), is not terribly frightening, although it is suspenseful. Both Depp and Ricci are convincing, and the art direction and production values give the village its harsh feel. Toward the end, once the secrets are revealed, the film does slow down; however, this stylistic horror film provides many tricks and even more treats. --Jenny Brown




Rating: - Great Movie, HORRIBLE Blu Ray Transfer
So far, this is the worst quality Blu Ray disc I have seen, which is a shame because this is such a visually stunning film. The Blu Ray is extremely grainy and details in many shots almost seem to have a smudged look. Paramount should recall these discs and tranfer the film over again. Don't buy this Blu Ray.

Rating: - Great Movie, poor Blu ray transfer
This is easily my favorite Tim Burton movie but I must admit that the Blu ray transfer looks horrible. The faces are so grainy it makes it tough to watch. I put my regular DVD of this movie into my sony Blu ray and had it up coverted and it looked better than the Blu ray. Back to the drawing board guys !

Rating: - Perfect Halloween Movie
My sister and I love Halloween, and this movie is a perfect one to watch to get in the appropriate spirit. In addition to fine acting, the special effects and artistic rendition of Sleepy Hollow is classic Tim Burton. Fabulous!

Rating: - Great Blu-ray Experience
Anyone who knows the name Tim Burton doesn't have to be told that you can't go wrong with any of his flicks. Burton's films were born to be seen on blu-ray, and Sleepy Hollow is no exception. I am new to the blu-ray world and this was my first blu-ray at home. Having seen this movie a few times before, I was not forseeing any real surprises. As for the actual story and such, I knew what to expect. It was the clarity that surprised me. The little things in the background. The scenery. All gorgeous...Now, ... Read More

Rating: - One of Tim Burton's most visually striking films
Sleepy Hollow is just a great looking movie that deserves a DVD play at least once a year in October. This is one of the ultimate Halloween movies. It features spooky sets, one of Danny Elfman's best music scores, enough gore to make Sweeney Todd proud and the visual touches of Tim Burton. The acting is good all around, with no one standing out from the crowd. I like Johnny Depp in this, but it's not one of his best performances. As a whole, Sleepy Hollow is my favorite flick from this director and it has ... Read More
