There are lots of slasher movies better than this.

Burton piles on the artistic gore for this rendition. He just forgets to add the terror.

Sleepy Hollow has an aesthetic that seems based on album covers. It doesn't feel like the work of an artist in any way.

A film which looks great but, in the end, is not the sum of its body parts.

History will recognize the rich imagination and secret tenderness of Burton's best films.

Burton, for all his skill, never ranges beyond the thrills of the obvious; he doesn't enlarge the meaning of the horror he shows us, the way a Brian De Palma might.

Danny Elfman's music is haunting and jaggedly elegiac, the perfect underpinning to the movie's look.

Even when the narrative stalls from too many detours and decapitations, Sleepy Hollow is gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with fun-house thrills and ravishing romance.

It is a horror film, but it's a Tim Burton horror film. Make no mistake about that.

[Burton's] vision of the ominous woods, the shadowy town, and its pale inhabitants give the film texture and bring it to life.

For about an hour it's a fine, ghoulish carnival sideshow, and that has its charms, but there's a thin desperation about the climax.

The quirks of this Sleepy Hollow prevent it from ever being truly scary, but what they do make it is a quintessentially Burton film.
