I Lost Interest -
Not A Good Version Of The Tale
I'm a sucker for this story but this version lacks what it takes to hold someone's interest for very long. They are missing atmosphere! There is no real imagery - not Gothic, not ghostly, nor ghoulish - and this is a ghost story! The main focus here is on the Ichabod, Tassel and Brom Bones triangle -- forget the ghastly horseman, he's not really here.
They seem to be relying on the comedy 100% and forgetting the horror aspect of the story - and it's the Headless Horseman that is the big draw here - not this "romance" triangle. Need more of the ghostly scaring towards Crane, the rivalry of Bones and Crane.
2/10
