Sleepy Hollow Film

Sleepy Hollow is a dramatic film based loosely on Washington Irving's short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Johnny Depp plays New York constable Ichabod Crane, investigating a series of murders in the New England village of Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burton's direction features his trademark moody atmosphere and dark visuals.

After a series of obstacles which stalled production of the film, Tim Burton took directorial control from Kevin Yagher and influenced the design of dark, sharp-angled sets and the use of stop-motion animation. Production lasted several months and a large set of "Sleepy Hollow" was built in Buckinghamshire, England. It took three weeks to film the final chase sequence where Ichabod Crane is dragged after the coach.

The film was a commercial success, grossing over $200 million in worldwide box office sales. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film three-and-a-half stars and praised the visually pleasing horror elements. The film has a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
