Urban Legend (DVD)

A REVIEW ABOUT THE MOVIE I'm sure we all know atleast one Urban Legend. Whether it be the one about the girl who slept with her arm out of her bed and waited for her dog to lick her hand to let her know everything was safe and well in the house, only to find one more morning her dog had been killed in the bathroom and a message in it's blood left saying "Humans can lick too"...or how about the one where if you say 'Bloody Mary' three times in a mirror, you will see the ghost of Mary Worth who some say murdered her own children, or how about the most common one of all, if you eat a pack of pop rocks (those crystals that pop in your in your mouth) and ...  Read the complete review

The story is developed all' inside of a campus. It seems that to its inside it a dangerous murderous incappucciato is us that it exterminates the one boys to one.

....another teen horror film that cashed in on the wave of Screams popularity ? Urban Legend is a film that really arrived as the inferior horror films were starting to come out. As a result it wasn't a huge hit in the states or over here but made its money back and spawned a useless sequal. The film is nicely shot with a good amount of ambience but it's really not scary and more nasty. The cast is pretty woeful with some annoying "teens" that you really would love to see picked off quickly. Basically there is a killer on campus who is commiting murders based on Urban Legends. Who could it be ? Maybe it's the creepy professor ...  Read the complete review

In 1996 Wes Craven resurrected the slasher horror genre and gave it a whole new style with Scream . It was a priceless combination of horror, mystery and teen comedy that went on to not only spawn 2 (and an upcoming third) sequels but many other films in the same style feeding off its success. In 1997 we had I Know What You Did Last Summer and then in 1998 came the only copy cat that came close to rivalling Scream - Urban Legend . The film starts in the with a bit of spooky music and some rainy weather as a jeep drives along a road at night in the country. She stops at a pumping station and a freakish man with a Bobcat Goldthwait style speech impediment comes ...  Read the complete review
