Movie Reviews of Headless Horseman
Movie Review: The Headless Horseman: A Cut Above The Rest
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie did in fact appear on the Sci-fi channel just a few days before Halloween last year (2007).
As a big Headless Horseman and "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" fan, I really enjoyed this movie.
I must say, that if you are solely a fan of Washington Irving's classic literary story, this movie will probably not appeal to you, because the only thing that this movie has in common with Irving's story is the Headless Horseman. The similarities end there.
As with "Sleepy Hollow", "The Hollow" and other movies, this is a new take on the Headless Horseman legend.
I must warn you, this movie is pretty bloody. If you dont enjoy seeing heads cut off, you wont enjoy it very much. lol
I enjoyed it, because I like the way that they depicted the Headless Horseman. He is cool looking and we see some new things from him that we havent before. Most people think that The Headless Horseman only rides a horse. In this movie, we get a glimpse of him on a motorcycle. Also, in another scene, the Headless Horseman actually flies briefly. I also loved the scenes where "Headless" wears a lighted pumpkin on his shoulders. It's a fantastic Halloween movie, but it can be enjoyed all year 'round.
I can do without all of that "evil" nonsense. In Irving's story, the Headless Horseman wasnt evil. A case can be made that he never even hurt anyone. He just liked to scared the heck out of the Sleepy Hollow villagers.
That is the one thing that I dont like about some of the "Headless" movies.I like to think of "Headless" as a good guy who scares others, but doesnt actually hurt anybody.
This movie has some funny scenes and the actors/actresses do a good job.
I was worried that it would be a "bust". But this movie actually is pretty good. The fact that "Headless" looks cool, and flies, rides the motorcycle, and wears the lighted pumpkin, makes it a 5 Star movie for me.
To summarize, if you are looking for a story about Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel and Sleepy Hollow, this movie is not for you.
However, if you are looking for a cool movie to enjoy which depicts the Headless Horseman opening up a can of headless whoop-butt, this is the perfect movie for you.
It's a fun movie, as long as you dont take it seriously.
It is after all, simply a movie.
Summary of Headless Horseman
Seven college kids take a shortcut on their way to a party and unfortunately end up in Wormwood ? a "lost" town in the middle of nowhere. They find something strange and sinister happening there- bones and weird decorations line Main Street. The cause: local Wormwood legend says on All Hallows Eve one hundred years ago, a crazed man tortured the youngsters in town and then cut off their heads. In retaliation, the townspeople killed him by cutting off his head. Seeking revenge every seven years, he returns and takes seven heads from children in the town. Now the seven visitors find themselves hunted one by one as the Headless Horseman claims his due. Each will do whatever it takes to survive.Similar DVD Movies
