I love the way everything in Sleepy Hollow looks. The colors, the costumes, the sets, the vibe. The headless horseman is a classic Halloween tale. I have trouble getting past Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp cast as love interests though when she is a teenager and he is pushing 40. I could have gotten on board with Wednesday Addams + Edward Scissorhands if this was filmed a few years later or if she looked a little older somehow, but she just looks SO young.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A moody, atmospheric Gothic mystery where rational investigation collides with genuine supernatural menace in an autumn-shrouded town. The film unfolds with a slow-burn tension that builds toward grotesque, darkly gorgeous set pieces.
