On the Rottentomatoes message boards, I’ve started two threads dedicated to slashers and reviewed around 100 so far for the threads. Anyway, just came to drop a note that I just wrote a review for UL, in which I completely disagree with this summary on UL and think that is one of the worst of the 90′s. The score doesn’t call attention to itself? It is totally over-bearing, mostly due to the weight of the shoddy script it has to carry. The reveal is lightweight and Gayheart can’t carry a sack a’ potatoes as a psycho.

it’s a decent film with a few glitches but otherwise really watchable unless you’re the kind of fan who really wants something gory or pays too much attention to details.

Never liked this film eiether.
I thought the ending was a rip off of scream (without the 2nd character)and although the story was clever…didnt make any impact.

SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT U DID LAST SUMMER are two films from the late 90′s that in my book were a breath of fresh air.

Urban legend was just stale man….

Sorry, I never have liked this flick. I will say it is better than Blanks Valentine though. i honestly do not think the slasher genre is right for this director because his simply cannot do it correctly.

I loved this movie. It definately is one of the best in the past 10 years. I’m a sucker for campus horrors.

I really like Urban Legends. I love the use of urban legends as a backdrop for a murder mystery. One of the last good slashers in recent years…

I find it more entertaining than I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cherry Falls and Scream 3, that’s for sure.

Probably the first movie to be labeled a clone of SCREAM. Okay flick, lack of blood but a more suspense then others. Silly killer reveal.

I’ve always been a big fan of Urban Legend. I will go so far as saying that it might be my favorite slasher movie of the last 10-15 years. I realized that isn’t often said. I enjoy the setting, the back story, and the deaths based on Urban Legends. I even didn’t mind the characters which is saying something for a modern day slasher movie.
