neutral · AI labelView post →Tim Burton has had some real duds. But Sleepy Hollow remains one of my favorite movies, generally, not just of Burton's lot. It's unapologetically a visual feast. Pure atmosphere and shlock. I love it so much. Even the obligatory action climax is fine. When you look this good... it's fine.

Many changes were made as schoolteacher Ichabod Crane became a "scientific" police detective. 🎃🏇💀 #filmsky #booksky

positive · AI labelView post →#filmsky The private life of birthday boy Johnny Depp has lately eclipsed his great film career, but he spots a smart opportunity in working with directors like Tim Burton (Sleepy Hollow) and Roman Polanski (The Ninth Gate), two fab cult horror films. Johnny brings a fine dry wit to both; I’m a fan.

positive · AI labelView post →REVIEW: The Curse of the Cat People (1944) – Disney Meets Hitchcock. When I put on Curse of the Cat People, I expected a silly monster sequel. It isn’t that. This is horror, but not the conventional kind. No monsters. No gore. No jump scares. What makes it frightening is what’s implied rather than what’s shown. The unease creeps in slowly, through mood and suggestion, until you realize you’re watching a nightmare play out in broad daylight. The title is pure misdirection. There are no…
