"Restless spirits stir this Hollow's Eve, beckoning Ian Cranston (Kevin Zegers), the last blood relative of Ichabod Crane, back to 'Sleepy Hollow'. Thundering hooves unleash a wave of bone-chilling screams as the ghost of the 'Headless Horseman' rides again! Ian must try to save the town and his girlfriend, Karen (Kaley Cuoco), and determine whether the sword-wielding stalker is their clownish classmate Brody (Nick Carter) in costume, or the dark rider himself. If it's truly the 'Headless Horseman'
how do you kill what's already dead?" questions the DVD sleeve. Moreover, why not buy or rent Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow"?
This is a fairly limp update of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", made for a young TV and video audience looking for Halloween thrills. Mr. Zegers and Ms. Cuoco are the good-looking couple pretending to be in high school. Looking heavier than in his singing "Backstreet Boy" days, Mr. Carter nevertheless ups the good hair quotient; he contributes "Blow Your Mind", a leftover CD track. Stacy Keach leads the small group of veterans picking up a paycheck. The funniest scene has a pumpkin-headed horseman helping "doctor" Blake Shields (as Rob) give "nurse" Shelley Bennett (as Erica) some real head.
