Classic! - By: L. Otto, 16 Sep 2007
This is a classic film, & completely genius! I'm not going to go indepth on the story, but I'll talk about the High-Def aspects:

Visual: Sleepy Hollow is almost ten years old now, & as such it can't reallly compete with the latest blockbuster high-def releases but this is by no means a bad quality video! The picture is consistent & the atmosphere is enhanced by the desaturated look. Blacks are pitch black & colour rendition is good. Overalll it's pretty good, there is some grain yes but this is minor & in my opinion adds to the antiquated feel of the film.

Audio: 5.1 DTS surround is available for the best possible sound short of uncompressed PCM. Overalll, the audio is reallly very good & its hard to rate it badly!

Features: The commentary by Burton is pretty good, & the supplement looking into the legend of Sleepy Hollow is interesting, but reallly the film is much better than any of the extras.

TO NOTE: Firstly, Sleepy Hollow is REGIONLESS so it'll work in the UK no problems. Secondly, this is a Paramount Blu-Ray & since Paramount have recently stopped supporting Blu-Ray this is officiallly out of print & will therefore become a collectors item. Get one while you can! Hope this helps.
Great classic brought to life on the screen: creepy ghost story, but also an oldschool crime-solving story - top notch - By: Klaus Meyer, 09 Sep 2007


What an excellent film this is!!!

The setting is superb, scenery & environment are absolutely beautiful,the camerawork is amazing.


Johnny Depp is playing a cowardly detective set to solve some brutal murders in the village of Sleepy Hollow. It turns out to be a reallly creepy ghost story, but also an oldschool crime-solving story. He portraits his characters with his very own sloppiness, fun & superb acting skills. Miranda Richardson in a pivotal role was equallly superb.


Such movies are rare in these days, but Burton has reallly succeeded in this.Top notch
through out.


Brillant !! - By: J. RICE, 14 May 2007
I saw this film 3 years ago & it was one of my favourite film's to date, the film aired last night & my wife before the film said she proberly won't like this film but how wrong was she, after the film she asked me to buy her the DVD as she loved it so much she said it was BRILLENT. Burton has reallly done a great job on this film & giving it a bit of hammer horror style, alll the actors were excellent & the plot was outstanding, if your looking for a film that has a ghost story with a bit of love, humour & a scare then this film is for you!!!

Almost perfect - By: K. Chase-Rahman, 07 Nov 2006
This is the almost perfect Tim Burton film. He may have longed alll his life to make the film, but Tim Burton's ultimate destiny was to make Charlie & the Chocolate Factory which, for me, is THE perfect Tim Burton film. Sleepy Hollow has almost alll the ingredients to make it perfect but is let down by a slightly convoluted & confusing plot, a poor script & the inexplicable decision to cast Christina Ricci as the love interest. Sorry Christina, but your career should have finished when you turned 15.
