  Another Scream rip-off, Urban Legends tends to navigate the same uninspired waters as many of the "teen" horror films of the late 1990's. Thankfully it's a forgettable film that doesn't do anything to raise the stakes in the Horror genre. This is a poorly made film with awful acting, a terrible plot, directing and cheap scares. The film is pointless and does nothing to thrill its audience. The film insults the viewer for which the movie was intended for by not challenging their thoughts hard enough. What was great about the old horror films was that, there was always a great amount of suspense, shocks and jolts. Something that's significantly absent from these types of films. The film fails because the material that's presented on screen is uninspired, often boring. This is a stupid film that's a wasted opportunity because it actually did have an interesting idea for a slasher film. However that failed. The result is a forgettable "horror" film that has definitely NOT stood the test the test of time, and since the release of this film, there's been far better horror films this film is one of the worst the Horror genre has ever produced. Avoid.

  Scary at times but a little boring.

  The usual late 90's slasher taht fails to advance on Scream's post-modern brilliance. In fairness, the idea is quite a good one, with scary urban legends becoming reality. It could have been a nice way for the film to comment on fears inherent in all of us, as urban legends… More
  The usual late 90's slasher taht fails to advance on Scream's post-modern brilliance. In fairness, the idea is quite a good one, with scary urban legends becoming reality. It could have been a nice way for the film to comment on fears inherent in all of us, as urban legends tend to focus on one simple theme. Unfortunately, the film goes for simple slashngs of college kids. There isn't a lot of tension and one can only imagine the screenwriters telling stories to each other as quickly as they could, rather than creating the dread. Fairly tame, and no where near as scary as the legends themselves.

  A campy, yet extremely entertaining movie. It makes little sense and is quite goofy, but it sort've fits in with the source material. It's the typical teen slasher, but has enough odd moments and kooky characters to be seen as a unique piece. It's a lot more like a 80s… More

  The idea of the story was so so. Not that good.

• Chris W

  
  Decently entertaining 90s slasher, but nothing too special.

• Tim S

  
  Ok, but not a classic.

• Anthony L

  
  A poor slasher film with a wasted idea. I've always thought Joshua Jackson could have done better for himself.

• Curtis L

  
  balhhhh

• Candy R

  
  Ever heard an urban myth? This movie brings them to life. Josh doesn;t suit the bleached look though.

• Shauna R

  
  A really poor horror film of the 90's. Predictable storyline and cheesy dialogue. There is elements from a lot of different horror movie, so this poor for it's originality. I'd only recommend it, if you were bored out of your head and had nothing better to do than watch… More

I'd only recommend it, if you were bored out of your head and had nothing better to do than watch a couple of annoying college kids get killed.

  There's a killer on the loose, getting college students in ways which follow certain urban legends which are being told. It's silly the students are also taking an urban legends course during the spree. The killer is a bit dull-looking, with a winter parka as a costume.… More
  There's a killer on the loose, getting college students in ways which follow certain urban legends which are being told. It's silly the students are also taking an urban legends course during the spree. The killer is a bit dull-looking, with a winter parka as a costume. There are some marvelous set-piece killings and chase sequences. The killer, once revealed, is totally hilarious, and gives a great show; it really raises the movie up. The comparisons to Scream are there. I wish they had used some more common urban legends and garnered a few more victims. The body count could've been higher. I enjoyed this film.

  If it hadn't been for ''Scream'' and ''I know what you did last summer'', this would be the best teen horror film of the 90s.

• Emily A

  
  This movie could have been so much better. In fact, this is what Candyman would have been in lesser hands. All the characters are infantile (none worthy of any emotional investment) and the portrayal of a university is a joke. This one is easily dismissed.

• Kylie B

  
  Good premise reasonably explored.

• Dean !

  
  One of my fave teen horror films, very cool idea for the plot.

• xGary X

  
  Yot another dim-witted Craven inspired slasher flick that only pubescent kids could possibly find scary or at all unpredictable.

• Leigh R

  
  So old... who cares...

• danny d

  
  entertaining at best but sort of brainless

• Jason S

  
  A cool idea and a so-so movie.
