Sleepy Hollow High

I HATE MOVIES THAT END LIKE THIS!!!!

This 16mm disaster is full of clichés, stereotypical characters, a generic, over done "plot" and terrible dialog.

In this "Movie" we have the Aggressive Black Guy, The Black Guys Girlfriend, The Blonde Bitch, The Possible Lesbian "hacker chick", the Pedophilic teacher...Blah, Blah, Blah....And then the Pumpkin Man.

"Do you think someone is taking the legend too far?" This question is asked towards the end of the film. Taking the Tagline of Scream 2 too far.

SPOILERS*****Typically I don't go into spoilers but I have to rant....

A dream? The whole thing was a Dream!!!!! This is the most sissified way to end a movie. "I don't know how to explain all of this, and we don't have any more money...Let's make the whole thing a dream." This is what the director/producer/actor/FX guy must have been thinking. Yes, the director is the character of Mr. E He did almost everything on this garbage movie. This is such a cope out ending....And what of the principal, okay, so he has been doing all the kidnapping! What did that have to do with the movie? Of course the Black people are killed, the bitchy girl is killed, the teacher that has a past of sexual harassment with students gets killed ( he is main suspect)....YUCK YUCK YUCK!!! This movie gave me heart burn.

Pointless, senseless, and made with parents Visa and Mastercards (which tells me it is probably still being paid off), this movie is dumb, boring and just plain stupid....

The only thing I liked was the credits. The way they presented the names, etc, in the beginning and at the end. It had a creepy feel to it. Too bad the movie didn't!

1 out of 10

Five juvenile delinquents want to graduate, but they have to do community service at a park in the sticks outside Baltimore to do so. Unfortunately, it's Halloween and there's a man on the loose with a jack-o'-lantern helmet slaying people with a sword.

"Sleepy Hollow High" (2000) is a no-budget slasher that only cost $16,500. I'm a fan of the subgenre and there are numerous examples of barely-a-budget slashers delivering the goods, like "The Ridge" (2005), which cost $2400, and "A Bothered Conscience" (2006), which cost $2300. "Butchered" (2010) is another example. Decent Indie slashers that had more money to work with include "Splatter University" (1984), which had $26,000, and "The Majorettes" (1986), which had $85,500.

This is easily the least of these, but it has a few highlights, like quality locations à la "The Blair Witch Project" (1999), a few attractive women, a little human interest, decent acting (all things considered) and a good rockin' soundtrack, which includes several songs by Big Neon Glitter. Regrettably, the story is one-dimensional and tedious. The script needed a rewrite to flesh-out more highlights and make the story compelling.

Meagan Adele Lopez stands out in the feminine department as Shannon while, on the masculine front, Ruben Brown is reminiscent of Ice Cube, albeit second rate.

The flick runs 1 hour, 20 minutes, and was shot at Sykesville and Towson, Maryland, which are a dozen miles northeast and north of Baltimore respectively.

GRADE: C-/D+ (3.7/10)

YIKES !! This was one awful movie !! How in the world did this movie ever get distributed? The movie was terribly written. The acting was bad. The camera looks like it was out of focus; even when the camera is on a tripod. It sort of looks like a rip off of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and SLEEPY HOLLOW (which was an excellent film). This was a blatant attempt to make a quick buck, if I ever saw one. I say quick because this looks like it was made quickly;the lighting is bad and looks like they didn't use any kind of lights (except the flashlights and firelight) and the story gets boring from the getgo. Its a typical horror movie, even though this one isn't scary: it's got a bimbo, a toughguy, a square guy and a the adult. Not very original and not very entertaining. If you see it on the shelf, keep on walking.......

Ok im not going to give this movie any real credit but im not totally gonna put it down. I was expecting a lot more from this movie with the awesome looking cover and writing on the front of the box that reads scream meets dawsons creek. The movie starts out good with a hand cutting out articles about missing people in sleepy hollow with some really creepy music in the back ground but thats about as good as it gets. The acting is not to good and the quality on vhs is horrible at most times in the film. Im hoping maybe that dvd will be better. I was surprised with the amount of blood in it. It did get a little better towards the end with a big battle between the stars and the horseman but when all is revealed it leaves you down with a disappointed feeling. All in all i have to say if you have nothing to do and want to see a movie and dont care if it has a real intelligent plot go a head and get this one but dont expect too much.

Whoa, this is one of the WORST movies I have EVER seen! The packaging for the film is better than the film itself. My girlfriend and I watched it this past weekend, and we only continued to watch it in the hopes that it would get better...it didn't...

The picture quality is poor; it looks like it was shot on video and transferred to film. The lighting is not great, which makes it harder to read the actors' facial expressions. The acting itself was cheesy, but I guess it's acceptable for "yet another" teenage horror flick. The sound was a huge problem: sometimes you have to rewind the video because the sound is unclear and/or muffled.

It holds no real merit of it's own; trying to ride on the coattails of "Sleepy Hollow." Don't bother with this one.
