Review of Sleepy Hollow (1999) by William G — 07 May 2018

Watch your head..

Sleepy Hollow.

As always, the production design, costume design, background score and the tone of the feature endorses it more than any other aspect of it. Kevin Yagher and Andrew Kevin Walker; the writers, lay out all the big guns before it even hits the screen, after which the only thing awaits, is the journey and the path that it takes to reach out to its predictable outcome which fortunately is intriguing enough to invest in it. If not for Tim Burton, the feature wouldn't have made it post its first act, for each and every frame screams his manner throughout its runtime. Johnny Depp is convincing in it but isn't as good as expected or required and neither is supported well enough by the supporting cast like Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson. Sleepy Hollow is not how it seems but unfortunately not in a good way, for even though it may hold the viewers for around 100 minutes, as soon as the curtain drops it is quite easy to forget.
