Plot
Skeptical young detective Ichabod Crane gets transferred to the hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, New York, where he is tasked with investigating the decapitations of three people – murders the townsfolk attribute to a legendary specter, The Headless Horseman.
Sinekatalog’s take
A gothic fairy tale of fog, candlelight and decapitations, where a squeamish investigator confronts a legend. The production design is wonderfully moody, though the story is thin. A good seasonal pick for fans of stylish, macabre atmosphere.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
