"A "Hollow-wood" production that couldn't be more hollow or Hollywoodish."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"A stylish and imaginative screen adaptation of Washington Irving's classic."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

B
"Burton's visual sensibilties are always breathtaking."  Mixed Reviews  Gabriel Shanks

2/4
"The film suffers from tepid performances, feebly drawn characters, and a meandering narrative."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/5
"A spooky gothic horror tale with first-rate production design."  Netflix  James Rocchi

"Oozing with enough atmosphere to fill several movies and that only Burton could create, the film might not please everyone but is entertaining enough in a macabre type way to earn a passing grade."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

8/10
"Tim Burton spins another eerie betime tale."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

"Not exactly a homage, not even a revision - it's just a crackling good Gothic Yarn"  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Shane Burridge

9/10
"Danny Elfman's music is haunting and jaggedly elegiac, the perfect underpinning to the movie's look."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek
