Sleepy Hollow

The great thing about Tim Burton films is the way he sets the mood. The dark colors and shadows used gives a really creepy mood. That was present in this movie. Another huge perk to this film was the decapitations. I figured they would be cheesy and look really bad, but they were pretty graphic and detailed. Very cool. Check this one out. 4 out of 5.
