dream_labyrinthI watched Sleepy Hollow on Sunday - finally.
Some of you know that anything remotely horror movie type is absolutely not my thing (even though you try to convert me... *cough![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolflady26cough*), and quite honestly this was a close thing.
If the horseman had not been Christopher Walken, it might have been worse. But - I don't know, I just like Christopher Walken, even with odd pointy teeth. Pity he ran around without his head for most of the movie. Though that is actually quite practical, for it means Christopher Walken was in the movie for only about ten minutes, all the rest probably was done by some stuntman. After all, without the head, it's quite irrelevant who's riding that horse.)
Christina Ricci was really good, too. Just like Ichabod Crane, I wasn't absolutely sure she wasn't the one controlling the horseman, though I did bet on her stepmother at a quite early stage.
Johnny Depp was great. I liked how despite all his science and technology, he still remained a rather shy man who looked like he'd rather have puked than investigated the murders. Him fainting after all was done fit perfectly.
All in all, good one.
I think I might buy it if I see it somewhere at a good price. (As I don't usually watch specials, making of and the like, all I need is for the DVD to have the English version. Once I started watching OVs rather than the dubbed German versions, it seems I can't stop...)
Oh, and I have a special treat in store for me for next weekend: I received a book on CD a few days ago, a book by a certain Nina Merrill.
That made me happy. :-)
