Headless Horseman

The Headless Horseman: A Cut Above The Rest
This movie did in fact appear on the Sci-fi channel just a few days before Halloween last year (2007).

As a big Headless Horseman and "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" fan, I really enjoyed this movie.
I must say, that if you are solely a fan of Washington Irving's classic literary story, this movie will probably not appeal to you, because the only thing that this movie has in common with Irving's story is the Headless Horseman. The similarities end there.

As with "Sleepy Hollow", "The Hollow" and other movies, this is a new take on the Headless Horseman legend.
I must warn you, this movie is pretty bloody. If you dont enjoy seeing heads cut off, you wont enjoy it very much. lol

I enjoyed it, because I like the way that they depicted the Headless Horseman. He is cool looking and we see some new things from him that we havent before. Most people think that The Headless Horseman only rides a horse. In this movie, we get a glimpse of him on a...

Headless Horseman
Possible Spoilers: Headless Horseman reminded me of a `Sci-fi original' movie with a slightly bigger budget and better acting (I think it was on the Sci-fi channel, actually). A group of friends are on their way to a party, when they decide to take a short cut. Their car breaks down and they end up in a small town that is overrun with sinister townsfolk, where they are picked off one-by-one by `Headless'.

Original, huh? Well, I loved every minute of this movie. Of course, I enjoy cheesy horror movies that mix horror with a little bit of humor. Some of the deaths are laughable (they use C-G blood a lot of the time!); however; overall it's just an enjoyable low budjet, sometime creepy, movie.

The actors are great too. Billy Aaron Brown is adorable as the geeky lead. Trish Coren is great and she reunites with her Boo! (another great Sci-Fi movie you should check out) costar M. Steven Felty.

Definitely recommended for all cheesy made-for-T.V. horror...

Pleasent Surprise
Many of you are probably surprised by the 4 star rating I gave this movie. Give me a chance to explain. I'm not rating this movie to oscar winning performances or even movies that have stood the test of time. I'm comparing this movie to other B- horror movies. I thought the effects were pretty cool for being a low budget movie. I actually enjoyed watching the partying teens get murdered since they were annoying enough so you don't feel sorry for them. I know most are disappointed since there is no sex or nudity involved. There was a really good looking local girl who's helping the teens escape.I also thought there was some hilarious scenes thrown in there If you like low budget horror flicks this is for you. If your going to dissect this movie and the acting don't bother it will be a waste of time. Just sit back and don't lose your head about the plot it's just a movie to escape. Don't expect more than a good old time b horror movie at its best.
