Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

icechalkhands OK, so I'am chilling in my room when mom knocks on the door. I open the door and what do I see in her hands? "SLEEPY HOLLOW HIGH". I thinking it has to be an older horror movie, because there's noway anyone could be stupid enough to name a movie that after The blockbuster hit "Sleepy Hollow" starring Johnny Depp. But to my surprise the movie is at least two years older then the original. That alone should have stopped me from putting it into the V.C.R. But no I had to take a chance, I had to believe that this movie could have one small ray of hope. Little did I know that the rays where no where to be seen.Number one, the story line is so ridiculous that it's probably true in some country bumpkin town. Two, the actors seem more like people real life people who just happen to wonder on the set when the director yell cut. Three, just about any movie starring the director is always awful. But the funny thing is that this is yet another movie directed by Kevin Summerfield. I've become to rely on his movie to bring me to the floor with side splitting laughter.Where to start on this movie? I know, let's start with the jogger in the woods. The camera lighting was so bad that I lead to believe that the jogger was standing still and the camera man was running. I love how the woman's stop to eat a candy bar. I mean it's just about dark, or just about light, who could tell with the camera lighting. And she stops running to eat a candy bar, I mean a CANDY BAR WHAT THE HELL. So she ends up being the first victim because of stupidity, and already I'am ready to break the tape, find the director, burn his little hands.Then out of nowhere some guys like trying to fix a car that probably been broken for some years now. Then in come the fake Mack 10 and a very real prostitute, who happen to be part of our main charter cast.The some of the movie is about a group of kids who all get into trouble. And are given the choice to pick up trash in the Sleepy Hollow park or face suspension forever. There sent in the woods with one of the teachers(Mr.E or a.k.a Kevin Summfield) who suppose to watch over them and make sure that all goes accordingly. The funniest thing is how undeveloped the charters really are. I mean what is with the fake Mack 10 dude and who's ever heard of Hacker trying to kill themselves. And some how one of the students has had an affair with the teacher Mr. E, before all of this community service crap had even came up. Yet the school still thought it was a cool idea for them to let him go. Also there's one student named J who purpose in the movie is to keep annoyingly popping up out of no where trying to make the audience jump, when all he really does is add to the cheapness of the film. The sound was so horrible in this movie. I mean there was one seen when two guys are fighting, and the guy punches the other guy in the stomach, and out of the T.V. comes this sound effect that sounds like someone punching a stale wooden box. It began horribly and ended dangerously stupid, even my taste. I will say this though, the music in the back ground made the scenes look some what tolerable. But not that much tolerable. My conclusion is this, if you want to left at yet another movie that Kevin Summfield took serious buy "Sleepy Hollow High.P.S I'am still thinking about shooting myself to remove those images of the fake Mack 10. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

fangoria_magazine SLEEPY HOLLOW HIGH offers further proof that DVD, against the odds, has become the great equalizer; even a homegrown project like this can now receive the deluxe disc treatment. The opportunistically titled film wasn't shot anywhere near Sleepy Hollow (try Maryland), and while it's mostly a generic slasher story (with a copout of an ending), it's a little more ambitious than some in terms of character conflict. The fullscreen transfer of this 16mm production is good enough, with a crisp if sporadically grainy picture and sharp Dolby Digital mono sound, and is accompanied by a wealth of extras: `The Curse of Sleepy Hollow,' a fitfully amusing spoof of all those BLAIR WITCH offshoots; `Deleted Scenes' (mostly alternate takes and outtakes); a making-of short; a music video that looks like it was thrown together in an afternoon; and spirited commentary by the filmmakers who recall the challenges and ingenuity involved in their low-budget shoot.

istableza I had a chance to view this film on DVD at a friend's house. Pretty cool little film. It was obviously a small budget Indie, but I think that added to the charm. I'm sooo tired of big budget horror flicks that overwhelm with special effects. Sleepy Hollow High reminds me more of some of the older horror films(you don't see the "creature" right away). The film makers did try to add some humor to this film, which gave it a lighter note and reminded me of a "Scream" type plot. (Which I feel appeals to a younger, or more visceral audience).Its basically a clever, modern day take on the Sleepy Hollow legend,touching on the precognitive nature of dreams, and the way unstable personalities might use a legend to act out their crimes. I really liked the "Z" character(sexy eyes!), and "Mr. E". There was some pretty weak acting from some of the characters, but "Shannon" ,"Z" ,and"Mr. E." shined enough to make up for it. I read a review that said the sound was bad-was this on the video? The DVD version had excellent sound, and some really erie backround music on the DVD itself. There is also a super strange spoof type documentary, and a funny little music video. We also found some hidden footage on the DVD;look for it in the right eye of the pumpkin.

Room12 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.
