Urban Legend

Pros: interesting premise; not very gory, but still relatively suspenseful
Cons: it was shown on ABC Family the other night

On a dark and stormy night, a young woman is driving down an abandoned road when she realizes she's almost out of gas. She manages to make it to a gas station, where the stuttering attendant asks her to come inside, saying her credit card's been declined ...

Pros: A unique story line.
Cons: No big surprises. Some bad acting.

Opening Scene A young college girl drives alone down a dark and creepy road in the rain. While singing alone with the radio, she realizes she is almost out of gas. Barely making it to a small gas station, a some-what creepy man comes out to ...

Pros: a few mild laughs, few mild scares
Cons: rips off everything, lame acting

A film with no more originality than your average sequel, Urban Legend dredges up plots and situations from just about every schlocky horror movie ever made and compacts them into a neat, glossy slasher flick that doesn’t disappoint, because no...

Pros: Creative premise; suspense
Cons: Some cliched acting

I've never been a huge fan of cheesy teen slasher films, but they are fun once in a while. I never expect too much out of them, so I am rarely disappointed. I went into watching Urban Legend with my usual expectations, but I came out pleasantly...

Pros: The acting was okay for a horror movie.
Cons: Too many to list.

Urban Legend is what I typically find to be my kind of movie. Unfortunately I am unsure if this particular movie could be for anyone. Overall I would suggest you rent Scream before you waste your time on this piece of "work".

The movie starts...

Pros: Suspense
Cons: Has some typical horror movie spots

Well, it had been a long day and as I was waiting for the kids to fall asleep I started surfing through the channels on television. I noticed that we had one of those free preview weekends on one of the movie channels and decided to take a look. The...

Pros: Interesting sub-text, twists & turns, urban legends
Cons: slasher film

Let me start with this disclaimer: I enjoy researching the origins of and watching the development of urban legends.

So, when I finally rented this DVD, I didn't expect a good movie, just a few yuks remembering some urban legends and maybe...

Pros: good recount of all those old favorites
Cons: not very scary

I went to see this movie when it first came out because I love urban myths. I started reading them when I was very young, and continue to this very day. "Urban Legend" tries to recreate a few of those myths that we talked about over the...

Pros: Slickly produced,great concept for the plot,characters make for good eye candy.
Cons: Well, it's still a by-the-numbers slasher film any way you slice it.

URBAN LEGEND


Riding on the coattails of this most recent teenage slasher movie renaissance led by the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer franchises, Urban Legend offers much of the same while taking advantage of the title subject...

Pros: acting isn't horrible, neat idea
Cons: poorly executed, lame choice for a killer

People love a good urban legend. Most of them are so known to us, we don't even think about them anymore. In fact, thanks to the computer and internet, many new urban legends have taken hold and been spread world-wide. Sometimes, it's difficult to...

Pros: some good spook scene, Brad Dourif and Robert Englund joining the cast
Cons: common and trendy horror

This film is the essence of trendy horror, capitalizing off of mostly common attributes that may have made films scary a long time ago but have since lost it's shock value.

Urban Legend is about a group of college students who are...

Pros: None
Cons: Alicia Witt As One of the Screen's Worst Actresses

This has to be one of the worst horror films in recent memory, joining the ranks of Halloween H20, Species II, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Stigmata. Needless to say I wasn't scared at all and for a film about urban legends - it's amazing...

Pros: Original plot/urban legend concept, very creepy, left me wondering "whodunit" till the very climatic ending.
Cons: More things could have been with the idea, but oh well.

After watching the movie again at home, I was reminded how much I liked this movie. It actually had an interesting and original plot. I was surprised how good this movie was the first time I saw it. I came in expecting another Scream wannabe, but...

Pros: Slasher Entertainment with a creative twist
Cons: Only gets so good

1997 was something of an awakening to the genre. A new breed of horror films - slasher flicks - were on the rise. Scream was the popular series and it produced three movies, each earning up to ninety to over a hundred million dollars. I Know What...

Pros: suspenseful
Cons: not alot of big names

I’ve gotta admit, this movie wasn’t half-bad. Basic story line is that there are murders going on that seem to be identical to certain urban legends. This movie does a good job on getting the audience to second-guess certain characters. Very much...
