Movie Review

Grade: C- Johnny Depp hit it big in 1999 in the box office success Sleepy Hollow, a supernatural thriller. In March of 2000, he starred in another so-called "supernatural thriller" The Ninth Gate, which failed to make a tenth of what Hollow did. There is a reason. Actually, there are several.

what?!, by me

December 8, 2003

Whoever wrote this review has absolutely no idea what he/she was talking about. I guess you expected gallons of blood being spilled and 4 headed monsters running around. The movie was excellent. It has a nice dark atmosphere and a SUPERNATURAL undertone that culminates at the end. Only very stupid person would not see it. Please do not wrote any more reviews. Please. Or just stick to "chainsaw massacre - movies". To everyone else: Read the book, and/or see the movie! BOTH ARE GREAT.
