I know, I know, it's so easy to criticize this film. Badly acted, poor special effects, no real redeeming qualities, etc. But before you do that, consider the circumstances under which it was made. It's a Sci-Fi Channel original, which means limited budget and no award expectations.
While I'm not that familiar with the headless horseman and Sleepy Hollow legends (and honestly, I don't care that much about them), it was easy to follow the linear plot and enjoy the ride. And though I usually hate overacting, it was particularly the performances that kept me watching to the very end (especially Arianne Fraser as Tiffany is hilarious!!!).
If there's one thing that seriously bothered me, it was the ending. It came too quickly and I expected someone else to survive. Nevertheless, if you want a film that won't give you sleepless night because of the complicated plot, give Headless Horseman a try. You might be surprised (in a positive way, of course :-)).
