12 & 15 year old get their first taste of an R-rated movie.
This is one of the few R-rated movies you'll find with no explicit language, so this was our 12 & 15 year old's first one. They loved the movie and so did I!
Sleepy hollow is not for people with weak stomachs or people that are against Johnny Depp. There is a lot of blood and murder. Christopher Walken plays the headless horseman. It’s a good movie with an odd ending. The more you watch the more you wonder why the horseman is attacking the village. Depps character has repeated flash backs of his mom which died in a iron maiden for some reason.
Very gory not scary! If an adult says that it will leave a lasting impression on the kid and they will do violent things,I say what a load of hoowy. Only some one with a brain disorder would do something like that. any one 14 and up will not be scared by it!
If you can get past the gory parts, Sleepy Hollow is actually a pretty good movie. It's basically an 18th century detective story centered around the headless horseman. I would recommend it if you like Johnny Depp and/or Phantom of the Opera.
By the time you finish this, you'll wonder if it was worth your 2 1/2 hours, when there's really nothing new added to the story. When the movie is a good half hour too long in the first place, it's not really worth seeing at all.
It's nothing like the cute Disney adaption, but what did you expect, really
The characters ring true, all the way from Miranda Richardson's Crone to Christopher Walken's classic Headless Horseman, to Johnny Depp's squeamish Ichabod Crane.
Parents, I've got one warning for you: look at the tagline, because it about sums up this half-comedy, half-horror, but thoroughly fun ninety minutes of bloody fun:
"Watch your head!"
