Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 10, “Magnum Opus”
Written by Donald Todd
Directed by Doug Aarniokoski
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
At a time when Sleepy Hollow is running the risk of losing its vital energy thanks to an excess of plots and characters, it’s important to remember the things everyone loved about the show in the first place.

Yep, there’s no “II” in the onscreen title. And that’s appropriate, because against the odds, here’s a sequel to a video-driven genre favorite that stands on its own four paws as an accomplished horror film, one that stays true to the original’s themes without depending on its memory to carry it. After a theatrical run in it's native Canada, Unleashed went the straight-to-video route in the U.S., which is a shame, as it can easily stand up against most of what the major studios have given us lately in the fright field.
