Like Frankenstein's monster before the lightning strikes, it's all recycled cold flesh and bolts, without a twitch of originality.
A low-voltage drive-in movie, made strictly by the book.
A proud product of the Scream cookie-cutter!
Can we please declare a moratorium on Scream rip-offs?
it's just the old-fashioned, yikes-this-stinks variety.
A teen-age moviegoer's dream.
The jokey demeanor following the ultimate reveal destroys any and all momentum.
Urban Legend starts off very clever, then gets a little less clever the longer it goes on.
There isn't much real wit, or suspense, in this parade of slayings.
The concept is sound, but it's gruesomely marred in the execution.
The makers of Urban Legend stock their film with so many one-dimensional, cookie-cutter stereotypes that its potential for exploiting deep-seated fears gets numbed.
It's surely not the worst slasher film ever made, but it wastes the hint of creativity it promises from the outset.
One of my fave teen horror films, very cool idea for the plot.
Super Reviewer
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 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.
