Urban Legend
Plot:
After a brilliant opening sequence featuring Natasha Gregson Wagner getting slaughtered by the killer with an axe hiding in the backseat of her car, Urban Legend tells the story of a group of college students at a remote New England university. The focus of the story is Natalie, a beautiful, academically-gifted student at Pendleton University. Natalie and her friends are all involved in the Folklore class being taught by Professor Wexler. Wexler regales his class with urban legends, which include Pendleton's own urban legend about a Psych professor who murdered six students at Stanley Hall 25 years ago. Natalie is the first one to suspect there's a killer on campus, especially after she has ties to all of the victims. First, it's her high school friend, a guy she's in the woods with at night, her roommate... No one, including her friends, Wexler, Dean Adams and the security guard, of course, believe her until it's too late and everyone begins to die according to famous urban legends.
Review Verdicts
Total Film
Only half-witted adolescents will draw some milage from this uninventive, downright derivative slasher clone, sloshed with testosterone, scream queens and gallons of blood. Yes, it will turn your stomach- but for all the wrong reasons.
Empire
By-the-numbers teen horror that is too predictable to shock and not self-knowing enough to be amusing.
Similarities To Our Film
Urban Legend is similar to our film as it's sub-genre is Teen Horror and because in the two plots to the film a group of friends are being killed. No one knows who is killing them except the audience who know that it is one of the others from the group that is killing them.
