"The headless horseman rides again."

Ichabod Crane, a drifter from Connecticut, arrives in the small community of Sleepy Hollow and takes a job as a teacher. Ichabod is fascinated by Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of the richest farmer in the area, much to the dismay of her fiancé Brom Bones. Brom does everything in his power to chase Ichabod away and disguises himself as the legendary Horseman Without a Head. According to legend, a soldier lost his head from a cannon shot during the revolution. Since then, the ghost has been wandering around looking for his head. During the joke, however, the real Headless Horseman shows up...

It's not horror, it's not a mystery, but then what is it?

Stylistically, it resembles an asylum production, a parody, a fairy tale film on RTL-4. Not surprising when you consider it's produced by Hallmark Entertainment. So be warned! *1.5

A simple, yet at times charismatic film adaptation of the iconic legend. Director Pierre Gang tells his story with great detail and precision, but unfortunately emphasizes the romance more than the horror. Towards the end, the infamous horseman appears on screen for a few minutes, leaving the rest of the film with characters doing their utmost to capture the attention of others. Brent Carver throws himself wholeheartedly into his role and does a commendable job, but receives little support from his fellow filmmakers, including the director himself. A real atmosphere is never built, and visually, the action appears relatively sparse, though thankfully it doesn't last too long.
