Details

Seven college kids take a shortcut on their way to a party and unfortunately end up in Wormwood – a "lost" town in the middle of nowhere. They find something strange and sinister happening there – bones and weird decorations line Main Street. The cause: local Wormwood legend says on All Hallows Eve one hundred years ago, a crazed man tortured the youngsters in town and then cut off their heads. In retaliation, the townspeople killed him by cutting off his head. Seeking revenge every seven years, he returns and takes seven heads from children in the town. Now the seven visitors find themselves hunted one by one as the Headless Horseman claims his due.

Reviews

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
bkoganbing A group of seven young people ride into a Deliverance like town in the piney woods in the Appalachians and to their dismay find this is the hunting ground of the headless horseman. Washington Irving did not tell the truth about it being in the Hudson Valley, it was really in Eastern Tennessee. Anyway old headless has been doing his accursed thing for two centuries now.If this one didn't come out on the Science Fiction Channel it would have been one of those early season big screen releases that folks just love to go to for the gore. As the jock types and wise kids get shortened a little bit on Halloween, it turns out that the kid who reads the classic literature, Billy Aaron Brown, comes up with a way to defeat the unreasoning one. Watching this slasher flick, the song that Bing Crosby sang about The Headless Horseman from the Walt Disney cartoon feature of Ichabod Crane kept going through my head. They should have featured it here, it couldn't possibly have hurt the film.
dien I know, I know, it's so easy to criticize this film. Badly acted, poor special effects, no real redeeming qualities, etc. But before you do that, consider the circumstances under which it was made. It's a Sci-Fi Channel original, which means limited budget and no award expectations.While I'm not that familiar with the headless horseman and Sleepy Hollow legends (and honestly, I don't care that much about them), it was easy to follow the linear plot and enjoy the ride. And though I usually hate overacting, it was particularly the performances that kept me watching to the very end (especially Arianne Fraser as Tiffany is hilarious!!!).If there's one thing that seriously bothered me, it was the ending. It came too quickly and I expected someone else to survive. Nevertheless, if you want a film that won't give you sleepless night because of the complicated plot, give Headless Horseman a try. You might be surprised (in a positive way, of course :-)).
ysaiid 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.
redrascal6 OK I saw this movie last night, I was not expecting to much as it was aired by the SCFI Channel. I cant complain it was watchable, the special effects were OK for what they were. The storyline was weak, no real plot twist's. It was basically what you see is what you get from a low budget horror movie. The acting was poor in places, but overall not to bad.You have to take into account, that this was never gonna be a blockbuster. You were never meant to be wowed just entertained.So if you want amazing action, big star's, great acting and a story that you are never quite sure what is going to happen, then this is not the film for you.If on the other hand you just want a little entertainment for an evening in, then this film is watchable, it's not great but if you don't expect too much then you can make it to the end, thinking like me. "I've seen worse"!
