Tim Burton always deliver the goods, no matter how preposterously silly the story may seem it always turns out amazing.
The film is about big city police officer Ichabod Crane whose next assignement is to investigate a series of brutal murders in the small town of Sleepy Hollow. The victims have been decapitaded and the townsfolk believes that the killings are performed by The Headless Horseman, and old folklore from the very town of Sleepy Hollow.
Tim Burton's love of the B-movie is as always present, and combined with 20th century effects and an intimadating all star cast (Christopher Walken is hilarious as the Headless Horseman), makes Sleepy Hollow a fairy-tale adventure somewhat out of the ordinary.

Skid-marks: 4/10 - It's got a horse-chase, yippi.
F/X: 9/10 - Finding that headless actor must've been hard.
