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

Rating: - Urban Legend
I saw this movie years ago and for some reason, I wanted to watch it again recently. I love urban legends and horror movies so this movie could do no wrong-yea right. This is a typical late 90's teen horror movie with teenage stars who were hot at the time and basically faded within a year or two. Rooert Englund did a decent job as the professor. The death scenes were creative in the way they were all part of urban legends-duh. Overall, decent but nothing stands out.
Rating:  - Bargain Bin Material
It's always interesting to see movies from your childhood again. I remember watching this movie--and really liking it--when I was eleven, so I thought it would be interesting to re-watch this movie as an adult and see if it was really good or... not. Well, it's not even close to as good as I originally thought it to be, but there are some pretty cool ideas here.
Slasher films have all been done before, so you won't find anything utterly new or innovative here, but the overall premise ... Read More

I Remember Seeing Joshua Jackson In Those Mighty Ducks Movies And Then Watching This And Wow He Grew up Fast. And Of Course When Jared Leto use to be cute and cool
