Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on an apolitical conflict between individual reason and specific instances of corruption and superstition, rather than promoting or critiquing a broader political ideology or societal system. Its solution emphasizes individual heroism in restoring order, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features traditional casting that aligns with its historical setting, without any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on a gothic horror mystery, and it does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
Secondary
The film portrays the town's rigid, fear-based, and superstitious form of Christianity as hypocritical and ineffective against the true supernatural evil, often leading to injustice and blinding its adherents to reality.
Sleepy Hollow is a gothic horror film centered on a heterosexual romance and a supernatural mystery. The narrative does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." All major characters, including Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel, and Brom Bones, retain their established genders from the original source material. No canonical character undergoes a gender change.
The film adapts Washington Irving's classic story. All major characters, including Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the implied or historically understood race of the characters from the original source material.
