Very Cool!!!
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreLike I know what you did last summer this is a complete copy of scream. I didn't like this film at all,the acting was cheesy,the deaths took life an hour to happen and it was just a stale or dull plot. I recommend not to see this if you want to see a horrible version of scream. The only good thing about this was Danielle Harris(Halloween 4-5',stake land)that was good but of course the best thing in the film had to be killed just because knowing my luck. This is a bad movie just like I know what you did last summer. I'm not watching the sequels,urban legend 2 or the third TV movie titled 'Bloody Mary'. Urban legend as i said is a terrible no good piece of trash thrown to teenagers to get loads of money.
... View MoreWhen a series of strange deaths occur on the campus of Pendleton College, student Natalie begins to suspect that there is a bizarre link - someone is taking urban legends and making them a reality. Her classmates Brenda & Damon insist the deaths are just coincidence. But when Natalie gets too close to discovering the killer's real identity she realises that she could be the next victim.This film starred: Alicia Witt, Jared Leto & Rebecca Gayheart.Urban Legend is a poor film in my opinion and not one that I would probably watch again, it was sloppy in some scenes and is slow and boring in others. Overall I don't enjoy it and wouldn't recommend it, it tries to be clever with it's twists, but most of the time the twist is what you were expecting to happen anyway.**/***** Poor.
... View MoreThis movie opens with Michelle Mancini (Natasha Gregson Wagner) driving in a rainy night and gets killed by an ax killer hiding in her backseat. At Pendleton University in New England, Professor William Wexler (Robert Englund) teaches a class about urban legends. Paul Gardener (Jared Leto) writes about Mancini in the school paper enraging dean Adams (John Neville) and security guard Reese Wilson (Loretta Devine). Mancini and Natalie Simon (Alicia Witt) were high school cheerleader co-captains. Then Damon Brooks (Joshua Jackson) is killed while he's with Natalie but his body goes missing. She suspects the killer is focused on her. Her goth roommate Tosh Guaneri (Danielle Harris) gets killed. She and her friends Brenda Bates (Rebecca Gayheart), Parker Riley (Michael Rosenbaum) and Sasha Thomas (Tara Reid) are stalked by the killer. Also there's a weird janitor (Julian Richings).This is a functional horror although it's nothing terribly original. In fact, the whole movie is about all the horror clichés. It plays it seriously. The cast is full of good young photogenic actors. It's a routine slasher movie and nothing more. Unlike other films, this does lack a sense of humor.
... View MoreSomeone has set out to make a book of urban legends come true. A woman (Natasha Gregson Wagner) in the film's effective beginning is driving in a heavy rain storm to the college where the film takes place. She thinks she has escaped a Psycho (Brad Dourif) at a gas station only to find the real killer in the back seat with an ax. The film centers on a small group of friends and Natalie (Witt) seems to be at the center of it as her room mate (Danielle Harris) is killed while she is going to sleep. Half the time this slasher film delivers quite nicely. Director Jamie Blanks and Cinematographer James Chressanthis make the film look great with interesting framing and effective moody atmosphere. Like the opening sequence, and the pursuit and death of Sasha (Tara Reid), the film delivers with solid suspense and good kills. Unfortunately, the film is also unbalanced. The deaths of professor Wexler (Robert Englund) and Parker (Michael Rosenbaum) are weak and unconvincing. The movie bounces back and forth between some really good set pieces and some clumsy ones. Blanks is going for a classy horror film here but he seems to be unsure if he is pulling it off. There are many times when the audience must throw logic completely out the window or the plot doesn't work at all. The scary looking killer wears a big coat with a hood, yet we see no less than 4 other characters with the exact same coat in their possession. This cheapens the movie and so does the lapses in logic of the script. The overall effectiveness of the film still works with above average suspense and some great kills. These nice moments are mixed in with cheap effects like a friend coming up behind another character and creating a false scare. This is "Urban Legend" in a nutshell. There are a lot of good things and some bad ones. At its best, it has some good scares and some solid slasher action; you just have to take the more immature moments as well.
