Sleepy Hollow

Washington Irving's timeless tale of an 18th-century New York village terrorized by a noggin-stealing spectre is given a suspenseful screen revamping by director Tim Burton. Johnny Depp is foppish, "scientifically-minded" constable Ichabod Crane, sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of bizarre killings that the locals attribute to the vengeful Headless Horseman. Christina Ricci plays Ichabod's love interest; with Michael Gambon, Miranda Richardson, Casper Van Dien, and Christopher Lee. 105 min.
