Pumpkin_Man It's been over a decade since I last watched this, so yesterday I sat down and watched the original Urban Legend and this back-to-back and I forgot how good they were. This is the kind of slasher I like, and it has a movie within a movie plot in the vein of Scream 3. Gosh, I miss these old 90's/early 2000's horror movies. They don't make 'em like this anymore.The sequel is about Amy Mayfield, a film student who's not sure what to make her thesis film about. She runs into Officer Reese Wilson from the original film and she tells Amy about her experience with the killings that happened at the college she used to work at. Amy soon decides to make an 'urban legend' themed horror film. Soon enough, a killer shows up and kills off the actors and crew of the film. Will Amy be able to survive? If you love slasher movies, you'll love URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT!!!

Leofwine_draca The sheer boringness of this movie hits me as I sit here and type out the lame, predictable plot. It's yet another predictable slasher fest which bears almost no resemblance to the first film, aside from a recurring character. Only one of the murders seems to actually have been based on an urban legend as well, so the ideas here are pretty loosely tied to the title. It seems to me that the recent frenzy for slasher films is on a downward spiral, what with this and the apparently awful SCREAM 3. Thankfully, I can't see much future in the genre as it now appears that all creativity and original ideas are completely dead... or so I hope. I just know that in all likelihood I'll be proved wrong.Starting off with an amusing reversal of the audience's expectations which I didn't see coming, we immediately meet a group of supremely untalented actors and actresses who do their best to be either funny/weird or generally menacing, in order that they become one of the film's many red herrings. Fans of mystery cinema would be well to give this film a wide berth, as the whodunit aspect is overplayed as always and it's one of those films where the killer turns out to be a minor character with absolutely LUDICROUS motivation. The ending, where the killer explains their reasons for doing what they do, had people groaning audibly in the cinema I was in as it was just so trite. And so it goes on.Aside from the group of nobody actors, where the acting skills range from passable to diabolical, and the clichéd plot and music, there's not really a lot else going on. Aside from one notable moment it's relatively gore-free too, although each of the different murders that occurs is particularly brutal in its own way, with characters getting bludgeoned repeatedly (with loud thunks on the soundtrack each time), painfully slashed with a straight-razor, or getting fried in electrics. Predictably the preferred method of weapon in the finale is the gun, which is another boring cop out.There are a heck of a lot of influences in this film to catch. The sole notable gore scene seems to have the same kind of style and progression as the deaths did in FINAL DESTINATION, while in a post-BLAIR WITCH PROJECT world the film manages to drag in some running around in the woods too. I have to admit that the producers did experiment with a lot of different effects, from having the characters watching a real-life snuff movie in the film while being blissfully unaware of what they're watching (a quite good moment, I have to admit) to an underground ghost train ride which has the potential of being quite good but is ruined by chopping editing and laughable action.This time the killer is predictably masked, with a fencing mask of all things. This may be the only original touch in the whole movie, the only thing that hasn't been done before. The characters are all severely grating and annoying, with some horrendous dialogue at some moments, where the script writers seem to be trying to make things as cheesy as they possibly can. I'm just sick and tired of these films with self-referential teens going on about previous films, with lots of in-jokes and "we're so clever" movie referencing. Just give it a rest.The film's highlight, and sole reason to watch, occurs at the beginning so at least you won't have long to wait before switching off. It's a murder scene based on the urban legend of waking up in a bath full of ice and missing your kidney. This has absolutely no connection to any of the characters or events in the rest of the film, but hey, it's pretty cool so I'll forgive them for that.

atinder Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) I not seen this movie for years, i can't not remember I how felt about it when i first watch it.This movie is not as good as the first one but it no were near as bad as 3rd movie in series, which i really hate.This movie did start of really good and must say first death scenes in the movie was really good and creative as the movie goes on the deaths scene a little tame and boring. So did the rest of the movie felt a bit tame as well, nothing really got me into the movie at all and normal I love guessing who the killer going to be but this movie didn't even bother, i didn't really care who it was or about anyone in this movie.I didn't really like who the killer turned out to be at all but I really enjoyed the very last scene of the movie, which I thought was great way to end this movie.5 out of 10 (only because of the last scene of the movie).

chris dimarino This movie is one of the best Horror genres, where you get added suspense trying to guess the killer. The original had the added theme of urban legends to aid dimension to the killer. This movie attempts to follow this lead but in a completely unique setting with different characters. It falls short because it tried to do too many secondary things well and failed to have the primary tools for horror success: compelling and relatable characters, a solid core story with a satisfying twist/ending and interesting horror-themed demises. Watching this movie a solid decade after it was released, I was surprised by the cast, particularly Jennifer Morrison. She does a fair job, but she's always had the sharp side to her, that's why I didn't think I'd see her in an emotional role in a horror movie. Aside from her, all other characters are secondary, and the ending is very lackluster. The story seemed to focus more on theme than actual content as it set up the setting well, but failed to actually dig into it. And finally, the actual deaths were also disappointing and failed to build much suspense. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to all except the horror fans who love all kinds of suspense thrillers.
