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

right up there with campfire tales, Urban Legends are just as eerie! This movie is so much fun and so insane, gives you a real education on the crazy stunts people believe in. This movie has an amazing cast of people, you wont believe who youll see in here! Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, and even Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund! Watch this fun story!

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.
