Perfect cast and a good story
Yazmin
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This isn't a groundbreaking work of cinematography and theatrical performance. But it's precisely its low-budget and humble means that really adds a character and feel tot he movie that you just can't find anymore today. Plus, it has a nostalgic effect, since I first saw this back in my elementary days and so watching the movie really takes me back. There's a Facebook page I started to help get this title moved onto a more modern format, especially streaming services.

I think because this movie is based on one of the best short stories ever is what made it decent. This the story of Icabod Crane. And how a dark night he runs into a ghost the Headless Horseman. This is a very spooky movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. The 1949 version the Bing Crosby is better. But still this is a good movie. The 1999 version with Johnny Deep is also better. But still this a good movie. Jeff Goldblum is a great actor. Meg Foster is a great actress. The 1972 short cartoon is better. But still this a good horror film. Is pretty scary. Dick Butkus is a great actor. Laura Campbell is a great actress. This movie is a must see.

Henning Schellerup directed this TV version of the classic Washington Irving story that stars Jeff Goldblum as schoolteacher Ichabod Crane, who has recently arrived in the New England town of Sleepy Hollow, and soon runs afoul of bully Brom Bones(played by Dick Butkus) after showing romantic interest in the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel(played by Meg Foster) but legends of ghosts and headless horsemen haunt Ichabod as he tries to win Katrina's hand, and keep his head... Jeff Goldblum is perfectly cast here, as is Meg Foster, but film is harmed by too many supporting characters and dramatic padding to fill out the running time; would have been far more effective about 20 minutes shorter.

Jeff Goldblum is simply a supreme actor. He has the talent of drawing the audience into the role he is playing at the time and that is a rare thing indeed! This move is a wonderful example of the Headless Horseman story. I wasn't even aware there were VCR copies of the movie. Hopefully the studio/production company will become aware of the need for a DVD of this movie. Considering all the DVDs out there at this time, this DVD would be a step in the right direction of quality home entertainment. Plus, it is not just a seasonal type of movie. The story was very interesting and creative. Definitely worthy of year-round appraisal. See it, it's great!
