Sleepy Hollow – A film that will keep you awake

 It’s a pity that a lot of the thrillers and horror films made nowadays mostly lack the charisma of true creepiness. Most horror films are scary, revolting or a mix of those. Sleepy Hollow is an exception to this rule. This is a film unlike any other. This film was the only film which could evoke that ‘true’ creepy feeling, the same feeling you had when you listened to scary stories during Halloween. Misty fields, trees with bare branches sticking out like a skeleton’s arm, maniacal laughter, squeaking doors, scarecrows standing still. That true mystical feeling is rare in movies nowadays. Luckily, Sleepy Hollow has the C(reepiness)-factor.

Sleepy Hollow tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a police investigator who is sent from the big city to a small place deep in the countryside: Sleepy Hollow. Strange events happen there, already three men have been decapitated by, as the townspeople say, a headless horseman… Ichabod is soon to find out if he can keep his cool in the chilling circumstances in which he finds himself…

If you are looking for an atmospheric, compelling tale of mystery and love in a lugubrious setting, this movie is just the right film to pick!
