The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Movie Review

Sleepy Hollow, is one of Paramount Pictures best movies. It is directed by the sophisticated man who must love bloody and horror movies. He is known to others as Tim Burton. He has a creative and talented mind. The story takes place in 1799, in the village of Sleepy Hollow, in New York. I think Burton's main character was Johnny Depp who played the role of Ichabod Crane.

As he arrives to his destination, he attends a party where he meets a lovely and talented actress known as Christina Ricci who plays the role of Katrina Van Tassel. In the movie Katrina Van Tassel falls in love with Ichabod unlike the story were she rejects him and marries Brom Bones played by Casper Van Dien.
