In this episode of the Video Vault I take a look at 1999's Sleepy Hollow
Directed by Tim Burton and Starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the movie centres around Police Detective Ichabod Crane from New York City who has been sent to the small farming community of Sleepy Hollow to investigate the mysterious slayings of 3 townspeople in the space of a fortnight. Using scientific methods it is up to Ichabod to stop these killings and find who or what is behind the fabled Headless Horseman.
This movie is wonderfully shot, and along with beautifully designed 18th century costumes and set designs, Tim Burton's gothic outlook brings a new light onto a classic tale from 1820. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it. One of Depp's most fascinating performances
