Sleepy Hollow 4K Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Martin Liebman October 14, 2024
Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for Director Tim Burton's 1999 film 'Sleepy Hollow.' The disc and digital
content is identical to that found in the 2023 wide release. Note that this is
the second SteelBook release for the film; the first was fairly elusive and
released alongside the original UHD disc. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for
more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Sleepy Hollow 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Paramount's glossy and predominantly black SteelBook release of Sleepy Hollow will show some handling fingerprints. The front panel depicts
a beautiful, if not familiar, promotional image for the film with the "Tree of the Dead" set against a very large moon and the Headless Horseman, on
horseback, posted to strike. The film's title appears in red cursive lettering along the top, along with a couple of actor names along with Burton's. The
rear
panel also features familiar, and a little more boring, artwork that prominently features Ichabod Crane and Katrina Anne Van Tassel against a black
background, center, and the Horseman below them, very small, against a horizontal light stipe. The spine is black with the film's title in red, center, and
a Paramount logo at the top.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a wonderful image that features, prominently, the twisted "Tree of the
Dead" mostly on the left. On that side are several characters, including Ichabod Crane, Katrina Anne Van Tassel, and Young Masbath. The riding
Headless
Horseman appears on the right.

Sleepy Hollow 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
Just about perfect. Even if it recycles familiar artwork on the front and back, this SteelBook captures the tone and essence of the film quite well. Along
with a great film and a wonderful UHD presentation, this is a must-own. Highly recommended!
