Sleepy Hollow
Synopsis
Loosely based on the Washington Irving classic story of Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman. Here, the film departs from the book by having Ichabod Crane as an eccentric constable with an avant-garde approach to solving crime. Ichabod’s contemporary investigative ways are put to the test when his superiors send him to the small village of Sleepy Hollow to probe a string of murders, allegedly committed by a headless horseman. He discovers that the horseman was a murdered warrior supernaturally brought back from the grave to create havoc on the descendants of those who cut off his head.
