Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Before Sweeney Todd was released, Sleepy Hollow was the darkest Tim Burton film. Sleepy Hollow is a film that does look like a horror film but way I see it, it's just a fantasy thriller. A bit like what I could call I Am Legend as well. It is very action-packed but in a more horror-thriller sort of way. Sleepy Hollow is to me one of the most fun films ever despite it's very dark story. It is adapted from a novel that is rather scary, dark and mysterious.

Well, I caught this one on TNT and decided to watch it because I never had before and I find movies like this interest me. It was a neat twist on your usual sleep hollow story, which is always a good way to make the movie better. It followed the 'Headless horseman' line, but it was portrayed as a demon controlled by a towns member. Without ruining too much more, all I can say it that it is a must see. I say that a lot, but this own peaked my interest, at least for an afternoon.
