1/10
Unbelievably, incredibly, painfully, terribly bad
31 August 2002
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. And unfortunately for this movie, it was the Dark Ages. This is my second time commenting on Urban Legends, but I just hate the film so much I have to comment on it again. This film left so many questions in my head, like who would want the laborious task of making this film.

First off lets start with the acting. Who in the blue hell are these people, and what are they doing in a horror movie? These people couldn't act nor run properly for that matter. I wouldn't trust these people to do my dishes because they probably couldn't do that right either.

Next stop, the murders themselves. To be painfully honest, the first murder was adequate. But what happened after that. Using a f***ing wooden spoon would have brightened up the rest of the murders and made them more interesting. Using electricity and bludgeoning someone with a camera lenses is not horror movie material, no matter what you've been smoking. Someone obviously said yes to the scriptwriter to many times. The Good Lord gave you balls, people, it wouldn't hurt to use them once in a while.

And now, my favourite. The patented killer costume. Jason (if he were dead) must be rolling in his grave. When I first saw the killers costume, I laughed till I cried. And then I felt sorry for the poor b****rd. What were they thinking of, giving the killer a fencing mask and a frock was ridiculous. They may as well have given him a priest collar to round it off. I've seen scarier looks on pimples. I suppose the biggest problem with the costume was that the fencing mask looked too tight against the slicker and didn't look scary at all. The killers motive was the worst I've ever heard.

I think the films biggest flaw was that it didn't seem like a horror movie. Urban Legend may not have been great but at least it felt like a horror. The movie lacked everything and that's why I give it 1 out of 10.
