Greetings Faithful Followers ,
This is your old pal
Brother Jack Angry, I wanted to take a moment to give props to a really
great organization that I am proud to be a part of The Horror Congress
this group of people are based all across the country and they deal with
everything horror, classic horror, scream queen, zombie etc the list
goes on and on. Periodicly the "reps" which I am one of two from
nebraska are supposed to write a review on a subject horror related I
have done several reviews on new release horror movies.
So without further ado I present my review on Sleepy Hollow the Tv series
Ichabod
Crane returns to life after 220 years in the grave to stop his nemesis
The Headless Horseman. He is aided by sherrifs deputy and would be FBI
agent Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie ) who is assisting Crane to avenge
the death of town sherrif August Corbin (Clancy Brown) who was beheaded
by the Headless Horseman.
The
cast includes Orlando Jones as Capt Frank Irving who initially does
believe the supernatural turn of events that are taking place with the
series of beheading in little town of Sleepy Hollow. The series also
costars Harold and Kumar star John Cho as deputy Andy Ross who as it
turns out is in leauge with the dark forces at work in Sleepy Hollow, he
later meets a grisly end at the hands of the mysterious puppet master
who seems to be working behind the scenes .
This
episode does an excellent job of setting the scenes for the coming
supernatural battles that Ichabod and Abbie will face, the flavor of
the series is reminiscent of SUPERNATURAL before we got into all the
angelic stuff monsters witches and demons aplenty here. I'm expecting
the series to go for more than the customary 7 seasons that many series
seem to be programed for. The interactions between the main characters
of Mison, Beharie, and Jones is solid.
The
Headless Horseman is sufficiently bad ass and unstoppable to make this
well worth watching and to help kill the boredom of a Monday night. I
just hope that he does no become an indestructable Jason Vorehees or
Freddy Krueger . The only real downside is that these episondes were
only an hour long and that will fly by very quickly leaving you
wondering what your going to do for the rest of the weeik until the show
is back on again.
My
only issue was with the abrupt departures of 2 very character actors
Clancy Brown and John Cho a sad development but they did set the stage for future events in a very excellent fashion so no disappointments here.
The
Characters of Ichabod, Abbie and Capt Irving were well done and the
interactions between them progressed as you might imagine in this story.
The wonder and terror felt by Crane at being thrust into the modern
world gives the character a sympathy you cant help rooting for even when
he outfoxes the police.
I will give this episode a tentative 4 out of 5 Reggies with a potential of 5 Reggies if it continues along these lines, a really great effort
I hope you enjoy this review faithful followers
Keep America on top watch Horror Hosts
