Headless Horseman

I found this to be a standard television horror movie that I have seen. There is not much to the story other than a group of teens gets trapped in a town with a Headless Horseman. The movie does provide an interesting backstory to the Horseman and the town that he resigned in. But the movie is easily predictable and repetitive, with the characters trying to escape but fail a lot of times. I wish the movie had expanded more on the town and the people who lived there to explain their backstory. Other than that, it's just the characters getting killed off one by one and keep returning to the town. The suspense is rather weak since things happened pretty quickly to have any tension to it, and it isn't that thrilling at all. And it's not fun at all. I have little to say about the characters because all of them are one-dimensional and lack any likeability to them. Each one of them have one trait to them and isn't that interesting at all. The townsfolks are your generic creepy locals who have a reason why they try to keep them in the town. But aren't that memorable to watch. The special effects are what you expect from a television movie. The CGI looks awful and looks like something from a Playstation 2 Era. It doesn't translate well, and it looks bad with the gore effects. The practical effects aren't that impressive to see and is rather weak. One more thing to point out is that when the Horseman gets a victim head, he puts it over some liquid thing that slows build up his head back. But the effects look pretty bad when you see it.

Headless Horseman is a medicore television movie that isn't worth watching and sticks with Sleepy Hollow instead.

This, broadcast last weekend was the latest entry in the SciFi channels efforts to make the worst movies of all time. When I am watching a movie like this I'm perfectly able to suspend my belief in the "Real World" and accept the premises of the film. What I can't accept is, within the aforementioned premises, the complete abandonment of normalish standards of behaviour. That's the problem here. The story is an old one and has been told before. In this case a group of kids end up in a mysterious village and the malevolent townspeople don't intend letting them leave. I don't know any of the cast but if normally playing idiots is their thing, they succeed here.All sorts of glaringly obvious escapes are just ignored and stupidity rules the day. Only watch this if you have recorded it so you can liberally use the FF button.

It's hard to believe how lousy this trash is. Never mind the title; this has nothing to do with the Sleepy Hollow legend, nor does it have any of the meaning that story does. It has no meaning at all.

Just some gratuitous torture porn serial slasher flick with acting that makes a kindergarten play look like Oscar material by comparison. It's the same old routine you've seen 14,363,889 times before: a bunch of obnoxious screaming teens are arrested for no reason at all by a stereotyped wacko hillbilly sheriff. The kids are clichéd personality types from Saved by the Bell that would never hang out together in real life (bimbo, nerd, jock, dumb fat kid, smart shy girl with glasses, goth, stoner, etc.) Then a whole town of weirdos picks on them. Then some guy with a fake looking Halloween costume and cheap rasta wig stands around staring at them a lot, drooling blood a lot, and killing them off one by one a lot. But you'll never care what happens to these dimwits; if anything, you'll probably hope they get croaked; at least that'll stop the screaming.

Who will live? Who will die? Who really cares?

7 college students (most of them look like they go through their second divorce already) make a road trip and find themselves in a strange small town.

Conveniently, the townspeople have to sacrifice SEVEN young people to the Headless Horseman, who visits the town every halloween...

What can be said about the movie: The special effects are bad, the story is boring and the acting is sometimes ridiculous (especially the old store owner). The Headless Horseman itself looks ok, but lacks scariness. The sets are decent.

Conclusion: It's bad, but it's not "best of the worst" material either. Just boring, predictable and trashy.

P. S.: Elizabeth Prestel's (Candy) acting style fits better in an Adult Movie...

Believe me this movie doesn't deserve wasting your time. It is a bad bad movie. Bad story, Bad actors, bad timing and terrible direction. It is like a normal episode of a horror TV series and never can be in the level of horror movies that we love to watch. Even the series Buffy is more exciting.I can act better than those amateur young actors. They really don't know how to act all of them...when you are watching the movie you think that they are saying the script and not taking the effort to act the script. really bad. And I think the director directed each seen alone without taking the whole picture together. The timing is really annoying and the scenes doesn't make you fell thrilled at all. The sound effects are like taken from many other movies put together. The film is overall the worst horror movie i have ever watched and i don't advice you to watch it.
