Synopsis

Skeptical young detective Ichabod Crane gets transferred to the hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, New York, where he is tasked with investigating the decapitations of three people – murders the townsfolk attribute to a legendary specter, The Headless Horseman.

The Fear Score take

A fog-drenched exercise in gothic unease, this one works on your nerves through atmosphere rather than shock. Bare trees, candlelit interiors, and blood against snow build a dread that hums beneath every scene. When the violence arrives it is sudden and cold, punctuating an ambient tension that rarely lets your shoulders drop.
