Product Description

Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of 3 people with the culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman.

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

20th anniversary edition. Overall Disappointing.

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

the disc is EXACTLY THE SAME, as previous blu-ray release. menu and features the same. no 4K upgrade. I uploaded a photo of the old disc next to the new one (left side). the case, overall construction is abysmal, the cheapest cardboard they could have used it arrived dented on the corners, and a large scratch down the back. see images. As I already own the original book, the book included is, at medium level inspection, accurate and unabridged, however I don't really care about it (again because I own a nice hardcover of the original book anyway)- no points for that. The cover art is the only PRO of this version. it is nice cover art, not great. could have been far more creative. the art behind the disc is, in my opinion, the nicest. the background is more of a mirrored silver than it is white, in the factory image it appears white- which would have been nicer. the book is also peppered with corresponding screenshots of the film, which in my opinion, make it more cheesy. I would have preferred more updated features, perhaps a steenbok treatment, this is one of my favorite films. I also attached an image of the rear page giving info compared with the rear of the previous version, as you can see, the feature list is the same. If you do not have the previous version, it is worth it- otherwise not. If this film IS given the steel book treatment, prob for the 30- if there are even still blu-ray's in 10 years, I will get that. and do another comparison review. 2/10.

Absolutely wonderful in a classic Tim Burton sort of way. Very far removed from the original story, which is not much of a story to begin with; the only similarities that I see between Washington Irving and the film is the existence of a newcomer from the city, a pumpkin head prank used to deter lovelorn Ichabod who is anything but attractive in the book, and of course, the unbelievably stunning gothic scenery that comes alive in most Burton's films and is very well described by Irving. Starkly beautiful dream sequences, brilliantly matched colours, costumes and atmosphere, great performances and Depp's sense of humour add to the beauty of this excellently directed film; it's infinitely stylish, spooky in the best classic horror way, romantic and boasts wonderful actor lineup. Somebody mentioned they didn't like Christopher Walken as the horseman; I on the other hand can't imagine a better choice than perfectly otherworldly, vampiric-looking Walken for this role. I love to watch it on a rainy night, it's such a well-written, gorgeous murder mystery scary-tale, you just can't beat it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Thematically bizarre. Ichabod Crane, the main character played by Johnny Depp, is a buffoonish coward, there is no reason to like him. His over-the-top obsession with apothecarianism and occultic lore make him lose credibility as the "man of science" and "brilliant investigator" that he claims he is. Anything favorable that happens to him in the story is explained as supernatural or dumb-found luck. He's basically stumbling through a series of events and making irrational "deductions" to drive the plot and explain to the audience what is taking place (because it is not clearly obvious). The over the top Tim Burton trademarks are littered throughout this movie, including some insanely cheesy CGI effects. What would otherwise be an interesting twist on a classic spooky tale is simply ruined by Hollywooding it to being boring non-sense with pretty faces and big names in the lead roles.

Burton does great job with classic Sleepy Hollow story part mystery part horror

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Sleepy Hollow was Tim Burton’s take on the famous Legend of Sleepy Hollow short story featuring the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. If there was ever a story Burton was born for it’s Sleepy Hollow. His love of the macabre and dark themes meant he did a fantastic job.

Burton made the movie part procedural whodonit and part thriller-horror. Crane questions the townsfolk, goes through their records, and examines the victim’s bodies to try to figure out who the Headless Horseman is. The Horseman himself emerges from a tree full of blood and severs the heads of the leading townsfolk one after another. It turns out the story is one about a conspiracy and revenge.

Christopher Walken as the Horseman does a great job. He doesn't get to do anything but kill people and scream and growl, but it is impressive. His facial expressions portray a real evil. Depp has a strong performance as well. He’s part bumbler part detective. They give some background to him as well and his dealings with the occult.

Burton should be commended for Sleepy Hollow. It was the perfect outlet for his unique vision of movies.

Amazing looking, but not Burton's strongest film

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

The strongest thing about this film for me is it’s look. Almost every frame is beautiful: lighting, composition and production design coming together to create what may be the best looking of all Burton’s films (and that’s saying a lot). So on a film-making craft level, it’s very worthwhile.

The story and performances are a little more wobbly. I always love Johnny Depp, but this is one of the few times I can ever remember feeling him ‘acting’. Even in his most outlandish roles, he usually feels effortless. That’s sometimes the case here, but not always. Christina Ricci on the other hand, has been toned down so much form her normally quirky presence that she feels surprisingly bland – not a word I usually associate with this very talented actress, The story itself has it’s ups and downs. There are some truly tense scenes,and some good satiric fun had with both old horror film clichés and the gentry circa 1800, but there is also a surprisingly conventional narrative for Burton, complete with a climax that feels very standard, and what you’d expect in any Hollywood blockbuster.

A worthwhile film to see, especially for fans of Burton and/or cinematography, but not the director’s best work.

Holly

Great Film- could have done with subtitles though.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Typical quirky Tim Burton film, which I love.Only negative issue I have is that the only subtitle available is in French. My ears aren't that bad, but there are times I have problems if anything is soft spoken or if it clashes with loud music- hence I did miss quite a bit of dialogue when I watched it. I can't understand why subtitles for the hard of hearing are not included as standard on all DVDs and Blu-ray films- including any special features that are added.
Just an observation- there are no extra features included on this disc.
Update: since posting the above I have noticed that the film can be played back in English or alternatively in dubbed French. Oddly, The French subtitles I mentioned above are available whether the film is played back in English or French. So why no English subtitles- it doesn’t make sense.

Welcome to Sleepy Hollow...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2017

Shame I couldn't give this five out of five, but unfortunately there is a technical issue with this Optimum release, namely it would appear that the DVD print was simply converted to Bluray Codec resulting in grain / 'noise' image wise and desaturation of the colour palette.

The other aspect is there's no 'extras', gone is Tim Burton's interesting audio commentary, also the featurettes as featured on the DVD are not included, what is: French / English regionalisation and audio set up for home cinema kits.

What is going for it is the price and that it is a thoroughly entertaining Gothic Horror by a master of the genre.

Going for a Burton!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

For me, Washington Irving's short story, 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow', remains one of my enduring literary disappointments. Perhaps if I'd read it before seeing the 1999 Johnny Depp/Christina Ricci thriller 'Sleepy Hollow', I might have warmed to it more. As it is, I find Irving's novel fails to grip the imagination and to conjure up an all-important eerie atmosphere, so pales by comparison with its screen counterpart. Moreover, because Irving's novel is so short, filmmaker Tim Burton was obliged to embellish the original tale to a significant extent. Normally, I'm critical of such departures by filmmakers, but with 'Sleepy Hollow' they managed to convey the all-pervasive air of tension and disquiet so lacking in the book.I bought the DVD version issued in 2007, have played it numerous times and am very happy with it.

“The assassin is a man of flesh and blood, and I will find him!” [Crane]

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

In this 1999 supernatural detective mystery set at the turn of the 19th Century, New York pathologist Ichabod Crane (Depp) is sent from New York City to investigate a series of murders in the village of Sleepy Hollow believed to be carried out by a mysterious Headless Horseman. Spurning the supernatural beliefs of the locals, crane uses a modern forensic approach to investigate the murders, but is he right?
One of the main strengths of this, besides the overall acting and widespread use of almost black and white photography to create a sinister atmosphere is the musical score which adds a menacing dimension to it all. Depp plays the jittery, nervous and contradictory Crane to perfection as he searches for the clues in order to find the murderer. But although It keeps your attention throughout and is packed full of suspense, and mystery. adding more twists and turns as the story unfolds, the romance between Ichabod and Katrina lacks chemistry and is unconvincing.
The single disc open directly yo an atmospheric thunder and lightning main menu featuring play, scene selection, audio [2.0/5.1, directors commentary on/off] and trailer. Slow to get into its stride, it soon gains pace to reach an exciting and ever changing finale. As a 15 rating it’s undoubtedly a ***** but ‘modern’ hard core horror buffs will find it wanting in the ‘blood n gore’ stakes.

Funny and entertaining gothic horror

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2008

Verified Purchase

I am a big fan of Tim Burton's films and I would say that Sleepy Hollow has to be my favourite. The film is loosely based on the short story `The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irvine and follows New York police constable Ichabod Crane who is sent to the small village of Sleepy Hollow to prove his scientific detection methods by finding who killed a number of the villages residence. During his investigations he discovers a world of magic and the undead while coming to terms with his own past.

This film contains all the elements of a good Tim Burton film including gothic horror, a brilliantly funny script, beautiful visuals and Johnny Depp. The all-star cast all give near perfect performances especially Depp himself. Some of the special effects were somewhat suspect but the headless horseman itself and the overall mood of the film don't suffer and remain brilliantly dark. Sleepy Hollow is a beautifully made film that should be loved by any fan of Burton's films.
