Most adaptations of this beloved story are renewed with new stories, but this one sticks true to its roots. The story isn't as much as a horror movie as it would seem on the cover, but more of a drama about Ichabod Crane trying to fit into the town and fall in love with Katrina Van Tassel. The acting is pretty decent. Brent Carver as Ichabod Crane does a good job of capturing the way he acts, and severe difference from that of the other men in the community. Rachel Lefevre (who is now a star in the show "Under the Dome") does a sub-par job. She doesn't show much emotion throughout the movie until the end. Paul Lemelin, who plays Brom Bones, doesn't really add much to the movie for me. The cinematography in the movie is beautiful, and definitely nice to watch if you like that. It also captures the art of story-telling in the movie that many people probably don't realize. The whole movie is based around guys telling a story at a bar. So if things are exaggerated, remember, it's a story at a bar, it's bound to change. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and would recommend for anyone who has ever found the story of Sleepy Hollow interesting.
