Luke R Feb 10, 2019 With a promising start, Urban Legend cliches increase since the start until the end. The story turns worse and worse, becoming a non-sense that seems to have been written just to try scary and not to interest or entertain. See more

Hermione G Oct 28, 2018 One of the more underrated mystery-slashers on the market.

Poe R Oct 23, 2018 A group of teens find themselves the victims of urban legends that come true. These legends range from 'The Stranger in the Backseat' to 'Eating Pop Rocks and Drinking Soda' (never heard of this but I'm keen to try it). In the late 90's there were a slew of teen horror movies made in the wake of one of the most irritating and terrible films ever made, Scream. They involved a group of pretty young actors in movies completely devoid of likeable characters, tension or any kind of intelligence. Urban Legend is an example of this wave. Stars from recent TV shows were cast to draw in the young audience members who wouldn't know good from bad in terms of filmmaking. Even Robert Englund can't save this turkey. Aside from being a time capsule from the late 90's this really doesn't serve any purpose. When I went to see the vile Scream in the 90's I saw David Cronenberg's Crash straight after it. So my advice to you is to watch this auto-erotic car fetishist's wet-dream instead. Crash proved that some great horror movies were being made in that time period. See more

Poe P Oct 1, 2018 A fun movie for teens, but its not scary at all. Its a whodunit movie that keeps you guessing til the end. Because it attempts to be a horror it only gets 2*. See more

Abraham R Oct 1, 2018 Guilty pleasure 90s slasher that fits nicely in as a throwback to slashers when they were at their peak. Absurd and non sensible in the best ways of the schlock genre helping launch Oscar winner Jared Leto's career as well as throwbacks to genre icon Robert England and Brad Douriff. Not to mention the always charming Danielle Harris. See more

Anakin P Jun 15, 2018 I had so much fun watching this. Everything is so 90s, from the dial up internet to the music to the clothing. The use of urban legends to kill the victims is pretty good and clever, even though it can be illogical at times. The cast has got to be the highlight though. Young Jared Leto as the school reporter. Robert Englund as the professor. Joshua Jackson as the prankster. Michael Rosenbaum as the frat guy. But it's the girls who are the real stars. Alicia Witt as the heroine, Rebecca Gayheart as her best friend, Danielle Harris as her goth roommate, and Tara Reid as the trashy radio host. I particularly enjoyed Tara Reid's minor role and her scene at the radio station is a perfect representation of that slasher stereotype where a big-breasted girl is chased by an indestructable killer until her death.
