Case In The Movie Sleepy Hollow
1,224 words'Sleepy Hollow' film Review Blood and murder usually go down a treat for the people who love gore but this is not the case in the movie 'Sleepy Hollow'. Repetition is the key to an ultimately predictable film. Just as in any other film we see a substance with a resemblance to blood fall onto a piece of paper. This tells our minds the movie will have elements of horror. Then two hands, male and female, clasp. A headless horseman then appears decapitating an innocent man on the run in the woods. T...

Old Movie Theatre
