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
into
three
mysterious
decapitations.
When
the
always
rational
Crane
arrives
at
the
little
Dutch
village,
he
finds
that
most
of
the
townsfolk
believe
the
culprit
to
be
the
Headless
Horseman,
the
ghost
of a
monstrous
Hessian
soldier
(Christopher
Walken),
who
seems
to
be
mysteriously
tied
in
to
one
of
the
town's
most
prominent
families.
Burton's
natural
instincts
for
campy
humor,
combined
with
the
hauntingly
gorgeous
technical
work
(Emmanuel
Lubezki's
cinematography
and
Danny
Elfman's
score
included),
collide
to
create
a
work
of
exhilarating
entertainment
and
poetic
storytelling.
Miranda
Richardson,
Casper
Van
Dien
and
Christina
Ricci
help
make
up
an
ensemble
cast
that,
combined
with
the
historically
accurate
village
sets
and
dreamlike
magic
of
the
haunted
Western
Woods--created
on
the
largest
sound
stage
in
film
history--makes
SLEEPY
HOLLOW
a
visually
stunning,
gripping,
and,
at
times,
chilling
film.
