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.

To say that the new film is a step above its predecessor isn't saying much at all.

This is the kind of horror that makes you wince from silly slasher music, too much blood and dumb coincidences.

It's not just amateurish, it's completely inept from premise to execution.

I don't know if you're tired of terrified girls racing through shadowy basements pursued by masked slashers while the soundtrack pulses with variations on the Halloween theme, but I am. Real tired.

There's nothing here that the Scream movies didn't do first and better.

No style, no irony and no smarts, just a vicious streak that lasts 90 minutes.

Morrison's gratifying performance, and her ability to knock down the boundaries of her formulaic role, that carries Legends past its forgettable predecessor.

The violence in the movie is so cartoonish, at times viewers can only imagine that a large anvil will fall from the sky, squashing a very perturbed coyote.

A bad remake of Scream 3.

There is simply no reason to waste your money on this movie, which wouldn't be worth seeing if it were the only thing showing in town.

It's a decidedly postmodern, self-referential sort of thing. And it's still not very good.

Flounders in a no man's land of mediocrity -- pretty bad, but not deliciously bad enough to become a cult classic.

Offers all the gore but few of the laughs or chills of its more successful predecessors.

So stupid and sloppy, it will offend the intelligence of anyone whose age surpasses his shoe size.

A gripping ride into terror, embracing the horror genre wholeheartedly and giving us a nail-biting, heart-jolting experience.

You're smarter than this, but occasionally it tricks you into thinking it might be up to something you haven't considered, like an above-average, extra-bloody episode of Scooby Doo.
