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 ...  Read the complete review

I was drawn to the film "Urban Legend" by recently hearing an Urban Legend from a friend mine (which I have included at the end of this review!) When I started to watch the film, I was struck by how very 1950s like the incidental music was. Big orchestra, classic "creepy" melodies in a minor key and it being altogether too ...  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. L' assassin however kills according to a quite precise logic and that is to say riproponendo in the reality of the "urban legends", that is to say classic legends that hand ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

At least there is one good thing to be said about the breed of slasher movies which have sprung up since Wes Craven’s Scream parody revived the genre - at least they make SOME attempt to make the plots a little more interesting than they used to be. The 80s were more than happy to take a rigid, omnipotent serial killer in a mask and have him ...  Read the complete review

Firstly I am a brand new member to DOOYOO,and any comments on how this could be improved would be good. Urban Legend is a sharp horror that will ensure you check the back seats of your car before each journey. This tale of a murderer that kills their victims in the style of urban legands is well worth a watch. It is not as good as other modern day ...  Read the complete review

Scream has been the film to change the face of modern horror for the worst, and this is yet another example of it. Urban legend starts of with a girl driving home, she stops for gas and gets freaked out by the attendant (Brad Dourif aka Chucky) So when he tries to lock her in the shop she runs, unbeknown to her he was just trying to warn ...  Read the complete review

Yet another teen slasher film rears its ugly head, and this time there is a dosage of originality added to the somewhat dumbed down gore and Scream-style in-jokes and humour. A killer is going round an American Campus killing unsuspecting teenagers, in the stlye of 'Urban Legends'. The opening scenes see a girl having her head ...  Read the complete review

....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 ...  Read the complete review

With the film "the urban legend" you have a stereotypical teen slasher movie, that very much depends whether you will like it or not on how you like the genre. If you are a fan of the scream trilogy, or other similar films, then you will certainly like this. It has little originality but in a film of this kind, that does not really ...  Read the complete review

This film is rated (15) There is no Urban Legends 2 page for opinions so I'll put it here. First off, there is an excellent beginning to get you gripped right away, which is good, as it keeps the suspense in right at the start. Anyway, this has film can be scary, but it follows the Scream style Slasher movie, complete with plot ...  Read the complete review

Urban Legend follows the trend for teen, horror, suspense movies, like the “Scream” trilogy and “I Know What You Did Last Summer”. The theme of this is a series of murders on a university campus in the north west of America. Each of the murders is based on an urban legend (a modern story about a murder/death with a twist ...  Read the complete review

This one almost has a twist in the story! All the deaths are realted to various Urban Legends, that pass through communites from time to time, but hardly ever happen! Of course, that's not the case in this film, where the Heroine is having her friends killed off one by one, by a mysterious figure in a parka jacket and a balaclava. ...  Read the complete review

Girl stops to buy petrol in the pouring rain and what happens?? She ends up, yes you guessed it, it’s murder, and she’s yes stupid stupid stupid. But it’s only a puppet, sorry film. A story about a multitude of blood and gore, but is it true or not? We don’t know, or do we? Teen horror and guts movie better I ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the new generation of horror movies that isn't quite in the same league as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, mainly because of the killer, who is of course revealed at the end... well I won't tell you who the killer is but it is disappointing. It's strange how one small thing, like the identity of the killer, ...  Read the complete review
