Average Rating:3.1/10

Consensus: This teen horror movie brings nothing new to an already exhausted genre. And it's bad. Really bad.

Runtime: 1 hr 38 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Box Office: $8,505,513

Synopsis: At the prestigious Orson Welles Film School at Alpine University, students are preparing their submissions for the Hitchcock Award, an honor that virtually guarantees the winner a Hollywood career.... At the prestigious Orson Welles Film School at Alpine University, students are preparing their submissions for the Hitchcock Award, an honor that virtually guarantees the winner a Hollywood career. Amy Mayfield (Jennifer Morrison), daughter of a famous documentary director, decides to make a different kind of film: a thriller in which college students are killed in ways resembling various urban legends. Despite the backstabbing and jealousy of her fellow students, Amy begins to plan and cast her movie, with help from a pair of special effects geeks and a suave European cinematographer. As filming progresses, however, a series of unusual deaths occurs that the police dismiss as accidents. Is the killer a psychotic madman or a student hoping to eliminate the competition? Amy must struggle to learn the truth or else risk becoming another "accident" herself. This sequel to the 1998 horror hit URBAN LEGEND features a different cast (except for the return of security guard Reese) and an all-new take on the notion of urban legends coming true. UBBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT was directed by John Ottman, the composer and editor of such films as THE USUAL SUSPECTS, who supplies numerous clever touches and layers to the world of films-within-films.

As in the original, the essential effectiveness of urban legends is subverted by the usual slasher movie conventions.

This horror-and-suspense vehicle, which dabbles pointlessly in reflexivity, doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters.

This horror sequel opens with an out of control passenger plane, then plummets to intellectual ground zero.

John R. McEwen

Apart from one returning minor character and a few cursory references, there is no correlation between the two. Unless you want to count the fact that they're both really, really bad.

This is yet another scary film within a scary film concept (surely someone would have pointed out to director John Ottman that this has actually been done before?).

This is pleasantly much less insulting than most films in the genre ... and far more entertaining than it has any right to be after its dire predecessor.

Ottman and the cast have done a good job with a limited script and budget, but it's not worth rushing out to unless your a major fan of teen horror flicks.

Brian Webster

There are so many killings early on (remember, we've got three movie's worth of killings happening at once) that we have great difficulty settling in with a storyline.
