I don't get this site. It pans some of my favorite movies... Whatever. You know what's weird? I scrolled through the members' reviews, and most of them gave the movie 4 or 5 stars, while "common sense" says that "there are lot of slasher movies better than this," and gives it two stars. You know what? I'm calling bull. How can you dismiss this as just a slasher film? This is more of a murder mystery! Are you just against the movie because of the gore? But you know, whatever floats your boat. Enough against the faceless people that run this site who will most likely never read this review.
I believe this this was an awesome movie, my family and I see it every Halloween. If you like Tim Burton, watch this. If you like Johnny Depp, watch this. If you like horror movies, watch this. I'm not saying that this is my favorite movie, but it is very good. And I don't just like it because I'm a Tim Burton fan. This movie has a great atmosphere, you really feel a sense of foreboding throughout. Plus, after seeing it a couple times, you really pick up on some extra things going on in the background. And maybe it's because I'm terrible at foretelling the outcome of movies, but I was caught by surprise by the ending. Any horror and mystery fan will love this!

Awesome!
Ok just let me start of by saying that i am 12 and just clicked on the wrong thing. There is only one word to describe this movie and that is, bloody. Personally i loved this movie and thought it was amazing. Sorry to kids but i probably should have waited a bit, even though, to parents. There really is not that much blood, any sex or crud like that is off screen or very discreet. The blood is quite fake, whenever someone gets their head chopped off then you can really tell its quite fake. As far as i can see there were only two parts in this movie that somewhat grossed me out. This was when you see his mother suspected of witch craft after being put in a torture device which he opened by accident as a child you see blood pouring out. There was also the tree of the dead where blood gets all over ichabods face and he pulls away the branches revealing several decapitated bloody heads which cover the entrance to the horseman's lair. If anything you should AT LEAST be 14 and well educated and have done research on what to suspect, it can be alright for 12 year old's and 13 year old's in cases.

Perfect for teens!
My mom is extremely strict with movies, but she allowed my whole family to watch this movie. There is no language! (yay!) and only one very INEXPLICIT sexual scene with no nudity. There is a fair bit of violence, but it's not that graphic. it's not super gory, and it blood looks cheesy. My ten year old brother was allowed to see it.

Great Movie
I had to see this because I love Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and Danny Elfman. It was suprisingly good, being one of the only horror movies I have allowed myself to see (I'm more of an adventure-fantasy guy). I'm no parent, but the blood looks fake, and so do the severed heads. It's not that bad. Give it a look to watch on Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Appropriate for mature 7, like my brother, younger ages, I'm not sure.
I saw this movie with my aunt, it was cool, but it may be creepy for young ages, and gory. Its OK though. The violence looks fake. The only sex stuff is the females' dresses always expose lots of cleavage. And messages, "What in God's name have you done to her"?

LOVE
I L-O-V-E this movie! It weaves an interesting story about what happened at Sleepy Hollow. This is one of my all time favorite Tim Burton movies - next to Sweeney Todd, of course. I'm incredibly offended that they gave this movie 2 stars. This is DEFINANTLY a 5 star movie!!! Great acting (it's Johnny Depp, of course the acting's great), great plot line, this movie rocks!! I watched it when I was 8, and it became an instant favorite:D

Worth Every Bit Seeing!
I Absoloutely adored this movie.It's EPIC.It's spectacular! It's my favourite film besides Sweeney Todd.Yes,there are quite a few violent scenes e.c.t Iron maiden,Head chops (If you don't like gore , don't watch).But overall this movie is worth EVERY bit seeing.I wouldn't recommend anyone under the age of 12 to watch it though.There's lots of characters inculding Ichabod Crane,Katrina and others.This is by far one of Tim Burton's Masterpieces..Honestly, This movie is worth more than what it seems.
Deffinately go and see it,you WON'T regret it!

Good for anyone over 13
This movie is highly entertaining, and yes, slightly gory, but the effects were made in the 90's, so not that gruesome. There is a brief scene of two people making out, but it isn't explicit. The only scary part was the horseman's face, Christopher Walken's face is very creepy, but older kids can handle it.

Watch you head, but DON'T watch this movie
This is about the WORST thing ANYBODY could have done to the original, wonderful horror story by Washington Irving. I'm not surprised one bit it was directed by Tim Burton. I love the original book, I love it so much I went to Sleepy Hollow, NY. This just wrecked it. The beginning was actually somewhat interesting 'till the plot began. Gore, witches, curses, the Headless Horseman riding off to hell with his new head and a victim who had been controlling him, headless people, a little kid getting beheaded after seeing that same fate happen to his mother, etc. I'm glad I saw it on T.V. And it was even awful then. RUINED THE ORIGINAL STORY!!! And of course that horror guy Burton had to do that. Watch your head, but DON'T watch this movie.

a bit gory but still good
The review says that it is very very gory but it didn't seem all that bad to me, of course this could be different for other people my age. Overall, I enjoyed it

Superb fantasy horror is extremely violent
You need to know that "Sleepy Hollow" is nowhere a real horror movie, rather a spooky fantasy movie.
It is Tim Burton's adaption of the legend of Sleepy Hollow, in which a headless horseman decapitates people.
Tim Burton is really trying to make the best out of each script and so he does. What we get is a movie with great special effects, great cinematography and a great optical look overall. Also, Johnny Depp acts quite good and the movie has a good ending. Definitely worth watching.
There is strong violence, many, many people get decapitated. Sometimes blood spurts, one time we see the bloody stump in explicit detail.
A man stitches into a wound and blood spurts onto his face.
A man hacks a tree and a large amount of blood splatters. We later see decapitated, bloody heads inside.
We see a horrifying image of an Iron Maiden that opens and an extremely bloody corpse comes out.
A woman cuts herself in the arm.
This movie is strictly for older viewers for its violence, which sometimes can be gruesome to watch for some people.
However, this is clearly fictional and as such viewers 15 and up will be able to handle it.

This is a Comedy horror
i don't think that cm realise that this is a comedy horror and a lot f the deaths are funny. All right there was a little bit of gore but the blood and gore are extremely obviously fake and the blood looks more like red paint

'Nothing that a child of 9 & over shouldn't watch - amazing film'
This film is actually really good me (13) and my sister (9) watched it last night and we found it amazing, It has a couple gory scene's but not one's that 9 years old's shouldn't be able to watch, to be honest she laughed every time someone's head got chopped of! But overall it's a must-see! Fabulous film!
