- Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2019Verified PurchaseIn my taste, you have the masterpieces like Les Misérables (Hugh Jackman), Braveheart (Mel Gibson) and the original black and white The Miracle Worker (Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke), to name only those few, and then you have one rank, just one rank below were you will also give a five stars to a movie because it is so entertaining that you cannot get rid of it. This is the case for this one. I cannot think about Halloween without this particular movie.
But there is more about it. I don't have TV at home, I gave up on it in 1999. I have a TV set and a collection of over 350 Blu-Rays and DVDs though. When I fell to sit down but do not know what looking at, then there's a few that are coming back all the time. Sleepy Hallow is one of them. I must have seen it more than 100 times since I own it. I suppose this is what you call a cult movie. Johnny Depp is so amazing in this movie, so natural in performing that character that you simply believe in him. And being really entertain without having to bite your nails is always a lot of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spaßiges, wenn auch blutiges Horror-Märchen
Verified Purchase„Sleepy Hollow“ zählt zweifelsohne zu einem meiner persönlichen Favoriten von Tim Burton. Dieser Film hat alles was mich anspricht: Tolle Schauspieler, eine fantastische Ausstattung, eine gruselig-düstere Atmosphäre, eine sowohl ästhetisch ansprechende wie auch fantasievolle Bildgewalt, ein famoser Score und eine interessante Balance zwischen Horror und Humor. Dass es sich hierbei um eine nicht wirklich werkgetreue Fassung von Washington Irvings „The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow“ handelt, stößt zumindest mir persönlich nicht übel auf. Der Film ist eben Tim Burton-Madness at it`s best!
Story:
Der verschrobene Constable Ichabod Crane wird in das abgelegene Dorf Sleepy Hollow entsandt um dort einer unheimlichen Mordserie auf den Grund zu gehen. Ein kopfloser Reiter soll einige der namhaftesten Einwohner des Dorfes enthauptet und deren Köpfe mitgenommen haben. Der eher rational denkende Crane tut diese Geschichte zunächst als kollektives Hirngespinst der abergläubischen Gemeinde ab. Er möchte den verängstigten Einwohnern beweisen dass kein Geist, sondern ein Mensch aus Fleisch und Blut die grausigen Morde begeht. Jedoch begegnen ihm die meisten Dorfbewohner eher missgünstig und argwöhnisch und sind ihm bei seinen Ermittlungen eher selten eine Hilfe. Doch dauert es nicht allzu lange und es rollen erneut Köpfe…
Meine Meinung:
Ich habe eine Schwäche für düster-skurrile Filme. Gerade Tim Burton bietet mir dies mit seinen Filmen oft. Doch Sleepy Hollow ist in der Hinsicht einer seiner gelungensten Streifen. Es ist jedenfalls einer der mit Abstand blutigsten Burton-Filme welchen ich bislang gesehen habe (in einer Reihe mit „Sweeny Todd“)- und dennoch passt der Film von seiner Skurrilität her perfekt zu Burtons anderen Gruselmärchen. Dabei soll der Film auch eine Anlehnung an die alten Hammer-Filme sein (welche bekannt sind für einige, steinalte Horror -und Sci-Fi-Schinken). So hat auch Hammer-Legende Christopher Lee ein kurzes Cameo. Ich bin allgemein kein sonderlich großer Splatter -oder Gore-Fan. Doch beim Kopflosen Reiter macht es mir ungewöhnlich Spaß seinem blutrünstigen Treiben zuzuschauen, da dies effektvoll und stellenweise auch völlig übertrieben von statten geht. Zumal das gezeigte Blut ebenso überspitzt künstlich aussieht und manch grausige Szene eher abschwächt. Einher geht damit der oft morbide und skurrile Humor. Manchen könnte die Ernsthaftigkeit dadurch zu kurz kommen. Ich finde es lockert den Film auf. Im Kern ist „Sleepy Hollow“ aber vor allem eine Detektiv-Story. Und es macht durchaus Spaß mitzurätseln wer hinter all dem Treiben steckt.
Passend zur Geschichte sind auch die Charaktere eher verschroben und stellenweise komplett abgedreht. Alle Figuren wurden zudem ideal besetzt: Johnny Depp (hier noch in der Prä-Captain Jack Sparrow-Ära) darf einen leicht gestörten Hauptcharakter mimen. Der Film zehrt viel von Depp`s komödiantischem Talent. Seine Love-Interest wird von Christina Ricci dargestellt, welche als einzige etwas fade wirkt. Der kopflose Reiter selbst wird von keinem geringeren als Christopher FAAAAAAKKKKKIIIIINNNNGGGGG Walken dargestellt. Und auch wenn er nicht wirklich viel an Screentime, geschweige denn an Text hat- dem Mann beim crazy sein zu beobachten macht einen Heidenspaß. In den Nebenrollen sieht man zudem den großen Michael „Dumbledore (den Zweiten)“ Gambon, sowie Ian „Palpatine“ McDiarmid, Michael Gough, Jeffrey Jones und Miranda Richardson.
Das Setdesign und die Ausstattung sind famos und man merkt dass hier viel Liebe und Zeit in Details investiert wurden. Top-Notch! Neben den überwiegend grandiosen, oft von Hand gemachten Effekten, gefiel mir aber auch der beklemmend düstere Score von Danny Elfman. Wer auf klassische Horror-Scores steht wird auch Elfmans Filmmusik zu „Sleepy Hollow“ lieben.
Was ich kritisieren könnte ist so mancher in die Jahre gekommener CG-Trick. Manche sind gut genug um auch heute noch zu gefallen (oder sogar nicht weiter aufzufallen). Jedoch sticht manche Szene eher albern hervor, was ein wenig Schade ist. Aber insgesamt gibt es nur wenig meinerseits zu bemängeln.
Daher mein Fazit:
Wie mit allem ist es auch bei diesem Film Geschmackssache. Denn er ist nicht unbedingt straight dem Horror-Genre angehörig und lässt manchmal den nötigen Ernst vermissen. Beachtet man aber das Burton hier das Steuer in der Hand hatte (und eine Hommage an alte Horror-Trash-Filme abliefern wollte), so kann man vieles eher hinnehmen. Ich mag eben die Skurrilität und feier auch die stellenweise abstrusen Metzelszenen. Für zartbesaitete Burton-Fans ist der Film eher weniger geeignet. Denn auch wenn alles überspitzt dargestellt ist, eine Szene ist doch etwas grausiger und sticht hervor. Im Grunde handelt es sich hier um ein typisches Burton-Märchen: von den schaurig-schönen Bildern, der Story, den Charakteren und auch der Musik… nur eben mit viel Mord und Totschlag und literweise Kunstblut.
Ich liebe den Film, daher eine unbedingte Empfehlung von mir!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent in all regards!
Verified PurchaseAn American horror classic, Sleepy Hollow tells the harrowing tale of Ichabod Crane. At the behest of the ever-wonderful Christopher Lee, Ichabod Crane travels two days journey to the town of Sleepy Hollow. It would appear that someone or something is killing the townspeople of Sleepy Hollow by beheading them. Crane, unaffected by the superstitions of the community believes the murderer to be a man and not the myth however, those who live in the Hollow know the culprit to be far from human. A dark spirit has fallen on this secluded hamlet in the person of the headless horseman. Rising from his grave each night, he seeks out the heads of those chosen to meet a grisly end. Not exactly the tale as it was originally woven, Sleepy Hollow through Tim Burton's eyes is a wonder to behold. The incredible sets coupled with top-notch storytelling; incredible special effects & a simply amazing score make Sleepy Hollow one of the best horror films of recent history!
The audio presented is absolutely gorgeous! First let's get to the technical aspect of the audio. The center channel is crystalline in its reproduction of the dialogue for the film. The surrounds & sub are in constant play as well. There is just enough sub use to create the incredibly overwhelming sense of dread used to propel the film.
I cannot say enough about Danny Elfman's score! Gothic & big come to mind when defining the beauty of his musical work for the film. The director's commentary by Tim Burton is another well done segment on an already very well produced DVD. Both informative and heartfelt, you get a real sense of the director's perspective as he realizes his vision of this American literary classic.
I saw this film when it opened & was put off by its seemingly overwhelming muddy visual atmosphere. I expected it to be a dank & dark film but that should have been content only, not the print of the film. Upon viewing the disc I am happy to report Paramount provided a new & improved anamorphically enhanced BRIGHT and beautiful transfer! On DVD, it's like watching a whole new film! The colors are not necessarily vibrant throughout the feature but, in certain parts, namely, the party at Boltus Van Tassel's in the beginning of the film, the interior of Van Garret's coach & Ichabod's initial meeting with the town leaders in the back room of Van Tassel's country manse, the colors are absolutely beautiful.
In addition to the great audio commentary & the two trailers for the film-one theatrical & one teaser, there is a 30 minute "Behind the Legend" featurette. This segment takes you behind the scenes with cast & crew interviews & gives you an insightful view into the production of some of the film's special effects & stunts. Additionally, it paints a picture of the ensemble cast establishing the kind of atmosphere created when a group of actors that is this talented gets together with a director like Tim Burton!
Sleepy Hollow is one of the greatest American horror stories ever written. Till now, it had not received the kind of treatment needed to make it a classic piece of cinema as well. Tim Burton's vision is richly terrifying & deliciously evil. In homage to the Hammer films of old, Tim Burton brings to life one of horror's most frightening visages, the Headless Horseman. Generally given to mixed reviews, Sleepy Hollow is just one of those tremendously atmospheric films that you either loved or you hated. I fell in love with Sleepy Hollow on my initial viewing & greatly enjoyed all that Burton did with the storyline. I have to say that I am a great fan of Tim Burton's work & this film further cemented that opinion. If you are looking for a good rich scare, I highly recommend this feature to you. On every level, this film makes an awesome presentation!

5.0 out of 5 stars classic tale
Verified PurchaseEerie tale of the legend of the headless horseman and the detective Ichabod Crane out to stop his killing spree.Quite enchanting fantasy but not for children due to the number of beheadings and supernatural undertones. Great atmosphere and excellent 4k transfer make this movie well worth seeing. The steelbook also has the addition of the book by Washington Irving.
