Hoofddrol : Johnny Dep C Recensie The story is set in a Dutch immigrants village in America. The village is being terrorist by a headless horseman.The people of Sleepy Hollow think it is a ghost of a horseman how was murdered years ago. A detective from the big city came to find out what is going on in the village. The story is very good and scary. I very much like the special effects of the movie they are very good. The end of the movie was very surprising for me. I also learned something from the movie and that is never to dig up a scull of a horseman how was murdered because he could take you with him to the underworld. Also daunt always trust people like Miss van Tessel they could have a pact with the Devil
