Urban legend
Plain and simple: I liked the movie. Making the urban legends come to life, using them as ways to off people was interesting. I like the twist at the end and the acting was good enough.Cool Just Like SCREAM and Beats Down I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Jared Leto (AMERICAN PSYCHO), Alicia Witt (BONGWATER), Rebecca Gayheart (SCREAM 2), Michael Rosenbaum (SMALLVILLE), Tara Reid (AMERICAN PIE), Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), Joshua Jackson (DAWSON'S CREEK), Loretta Devine (DOWN IN THE DELTA), Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS), Brad Dourif (CHILD'S PLAY), Vince Corazza (BRIDE OF CHUCKY), John Neville (THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN), Natasha Gregson Wagner (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 1992) and Julian Ritchings star in URBAN LEGEND, a great addition to 90s horror lineups. This movie has a great concept and as with every other slasher movie launched the career a certain group of actors; in this case Michael Rosenbaum, Tara Reid and Joshua Jackson. This movie follows the rules to urban legends instead of horror movies. This movie has great kills such as the Drain-O down the throat and even though this is not a death scene the Pepsi foaming out of the mouth like a rabies infected animal. This movie is fun so give it a watch if you can. Be careful, double sided DVD. Infinity out of infinity star rating!Great service!
Thank you so much for the quick shipping. The DVD also came in great condition. Thank you again! A+ seller!Meh.
Say what you will about modern horror and the extremities it goes to in making an audience cringe - at least it's doing SOMETHING right. The watered down horror era of the late 90s/early 00s is over. Whew.
All these movies were good for (Valentine, IKWYDLS, etc.) were jump scares and pretty people getting sliced and diced, even if you didn't really see much of it. It was horror for the NSync and Britney crowd. "OMG, LYKE, DON'T GO IN THERE AND STUFF!"
The more time passes, the more I realize I can't even enjoy these films for cheap nostalgia (class of '99 boeeeeey!). My generation got the shaft with the horror genre. I mostly watched stuff from the 70s and 80s back then anyway. Blockbuster Video was just a few blocks away.
Two stars for the stylish college setting. Beautiful building.I love this movie!!
This movie is great for an old movie. I'm a big fan of Michael Rosenbaum. This movie is funny and thrilling. I would deffinately reccomend it.Product Description
A MYSTERIOUS CAMPUS KILLER IS USING WELL-KNOWN URBAN LEGENDS AS A PATTERN FOR MURDER. WITH FILMMAKERS' COMMENTARY AND FEATURETTE.Amazon.com
An attractive young woman is driving her car on a dark country road and singing along to the radio. She's running out of gas and so she pulls into a gas station (run by a jittery, stuttering Brad Dourif), but then flees what seems to be an attack, only to find the real threat in her backseat: a hooded killer with an ax who takes her head off with a well-aimed swing. You've heard the story before? Not surprising, given that it's one of the more famous urban legends borrowed for Urban Legend, a post-Scream exercise in self-referential horror. The students at an ivy-covered New England college are turning up dead, the victims of a serial killer who murders in the fashion of the "apocryphal" modern myths. It's all for the benefit of good girl with a dark secret Alicia Witt, the sole witness to most of the killings. Doe-eyed Rebecca Gayheart, as her gullible best friend, and Jared Leto, the ambitious campus journalist who tracks down the secret that hangs over the school, lead a cast of pretty young women, hunky guys, and campus characters, notably the suspicious professor Robert Englund, a genre legend in his own right as the star of seven Nightmare on Elm Street films. Take away the cheeky remarks and self-awareness and it's a throwback to the 1970s' rash of teen slasher movies, where sexually active teens are sliced, diced, and otherwise slaughtered in elaborate and ingenious ways. The increasingly preposterous film is no Scream, but the modestly stylish production has its moments. --Sean Axmaker
