Sleepy Hollow
Great great great. Tim burton does with style and talent what 6th sense fails to do. A beautiful film AND an interesting reflexion on the way our usual rationalising leitmotiv faces a severe problem: death.

Sleepy Hollow was an experience quite like wollowing in thick blood with people throwing buckets of even thicker thick blood in ones face. Quite amusing really. Too over the top to be scary (though some scenes did give me the heebee jeebees e.g when his mums being tortured, and when he meets that which with eyes that fall out), and so found myself wincing with laughter rather than fear at any of the many beheadings. I think it's the innocent look of suprise on their faces just when they realise that their head is no longer an integral part of the body. smiley - fishsmiley - bigeyes

Sure, because after all I don't think Burton's purpose was to maky something really scary. It's more a question of building an entire atmosphere which I think we could qualify of "mystically beautiful". The story in itself is actually there to keep all the scenes together.
