Following a series of strange murders, a group of students at a college campus set out to investigate the crimes and their seeming connection to the killer when they find out the killer is basing their crimes on urban legends and set out to stop the rampage. This is far better than its reputation would have it. Among the better features here is the fact that back when this movie came out the gimmick of using the deaths based on urban legends allowed for some pretty inventive and original kills. The opening backseat driver decapitation is a great one to...

Urban Legend is a movie I watched during a long weekend marathon of older slasher movies that seem to have been forgotten, or at least aren't as heralded as the more well-known movies of the genre (Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, etc.).

**Urban Legend (1998) – Pure Slasher Fun** I revisited *Urban Legend* on a whim during a lazy weekend horror binge, expecting something disposable and forgettable. What I got instead was a sharp-looking, fast-moving slasher with a cool premise, a ridiculously attractive cast, and just the right mix of camp and sincerity. It's much better than most people give it credit for. The concept is instantly fun: a series of campus murders modeled after classic urban legends. It’s such a natural fit for the slasher genre, and the movie runs with it, committing to the bit fully. The kills are clever,...
