URBAN LEGEND (1999)

JAMIE BLANKS

Plot

Derivative but devilishly enjoyable college campus horror-fest, set amongst a group of Princeton students whose teacher (Robert Englund of "Freddy" fame) has them studying urban legends, - those well-known tales of terror that everyone swears happened to a friend of a friend of theirs. But, whaddya know, somebody seems to be recreating the most terrifyingly famous ones, with the class of '99 as their victims. Yes, it's an outrageous ripoff of "Scream", and obviously inferior, but it's still an awful lot of fun trying to guess "whodunnit".
