Sleepy Hollow: Could Flop

Still, there are some critical flaws baked in from the start, the most obvious being a loopy mythology that tries to cram about five seasons of Supernatural into forty minutes. To sum up: Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), a college professor turned soldier turned spy was tasked by General George Washington with killing a very nasty man who just might be the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Crane is the pointed-headed liberal who tells his soon-to-be partner that he was in favor of the abolition of slavery. He also switched sides against his homeland in favor of the American revolutionaries, so he could be considered an international humanitarian. His partner is a black female police officer who was on the way to the F.B.I. but decides to remain in Sleepy Hollow. They agree to team up to try to prevent the end of the world.

I recently saw two apocalyptic films; This Is the End and The World's End. Both were entertaining.

Another review by the AV Club.
