Typical 90s horror flick, nothing more nothing less.

I haven't seen this one in awhile. I am not sure why it's not available on Amazon Video to rent or buy. The movie was considered weaker than Scream and even I Know What You Did Last Summer at the time. The cast was pretty impressive though and it was a decent slasher flick. The film did need a little more gore. It's so goreless at times it could be PG-13.

A wonderfully terrible 90's high-school slasher flick. Over the top performances, sterotyped characters, edgy music. One of the awful greats. Though honestly it completely falls apart in the last act: [spoiler]we're supposed to believe that Brenda carried all those dead bodies through the woods and into the cabin to put them on display.... all on her own? She's tiny! There's no way she could lift them all.[/spoiler]

"Don't you want to be an urban legend, Nat? All your friends are now." The only thing I remembered about Urban Legend was that I saw it in high school in 3 sittings. They showed the movie during English class. I don't remember why our teacher chose this one but hey, everyone thought it was bad-ass. We were all only around 14 years old. Two years younger then the 16 or older label on the dvd. Anyway Urban Legend is a fun late 90's slasher. It has a fun cast with Rebecca Gayheart (those eyes!!!), Joshua Jackson, Jared Leto, Alicia Witt and Tara Reid. And the best part are the legends alongside them in the forms of Robert Englund and Brad Dourif. We even have scream queen Danielle Harris! Lovely stuff. The logic is way out there but who cares, the kills are fun and the idea of using Urban Legends is great. I do believe Urban Legend is a bit underrated but if you haven't seen it yet and you are in that late 90's horror vibe, be sure to give Urban Legend a shot!

Urban Legend is a movie I watched during a long weekend marathon of older slasher movies that seem to have been forgotten, or at least aren't as heralded as the more well-known movies of the genre (Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, etc.). Among these lesser known movies, More

Following a series of strange murders, a group of students at a college campus set out to investigate the crimes and their seeming connection to the killer when they find out the killer is basing their crimes on urban legends and set out to stop the rampage.

This is far better than its reputation More

One of many lame slashers that sprouted in the late 90s thanks to the mega success of 'Scream'. Good cast utterly wasted with stilted dialogue and a nonsensical story, a half-assed motive and tame kills that weren't all that memorable.

I like horror movies, even the bad ones, and this my friends is a doozy, which I don't particularly like (go figure). The writing is poor and the performances bad. The final girl, in that respect, is terrible. The only two notable performances are Jackson and Leto, with the former being markarbl More
