Editorial Review:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The legend brought to life.
Johnny Depp delivers his usual quirky, awe inspiring performance.
Tim Burton gives us his dark vision of the fairy tale and succeeds brilliantly.
The script, the fx, the acting, pretty much everything is first rate.
A tad bloody but it's not that bad.
The music is good too.
What's bad about this movie?
Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!
A brilliant masterpiece that deserves to be seen.
Another Burton must have/must see.
Rating: - One of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
It's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. The scenes look scary. The acting and action are good. It's suspenseful from the beginning till the end.
Rating:  - Just ok.
The transfer to HD DVD on this is just ok. My advice would be to buy the regular dvd. I know that its the way it was shot its suppose to look grainy. But when it comes to HD its just not worth it for Grainy movies unless you just buy it for the sound.
Best bet, Go find the dvd for 4.99
Rating:  - Not for those looking for Irving's classic
If you're just looking to watch a Johnny Depp movie and don't really care whether it's made up or supposedly based on something then this movie is fine to watch. Unfortunately, if you're looking to watch a movie based on Washington Irving's classic story then this movie isn't really for you. Yes, it can claim to be based on Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" but only very loosely. Only the names of less than a handful main characters and where the story takes place comes from Irving's story. ... Read More
Rating: - Sleepy Hollow
Great movie, wrong format. HD is dead and stinkin'. I returned the two HD movies I bought because I thought they were Blu-Ray. I did not realize that HD movie format DVD's were being unloaded on the public who is dumb enough to buy them (like me),when HD is gone the way of the Do Do Bird. Got any Beta format movies? How about some 8 track tapes?
