“Gothic guys on campus looking to hook up, I-M me. We're on similar dark paths." -Danielle Harris and the killer in the goths 4 goths chatroom. Urban Legend, 1998.

it’s so funny how some filmmakers in the late 90s really were owing their entire careers to scream
aliyahDec 15, 2020this is true, it happened at my school a few years back
audrey lorraine 🦇Oct 16, 2016The most unbelievable urban legend is Jared Leto as a journalist.

90’s slasher films are always so campy and fun and so underrated. write that on my tombstone because i will never change my mind
allie bugFeb 24, 2020yes i rated this higher than the shawshank redemption! shoutout to my film teacher and anyone who ever respected me
amayaApr 23, 202075 Gosh, the post-Scream era is so undervalued. Urban Legend is characterized with many similar elements - the attractive Dawson's Creek esque cast, the meta concept (this being murders based on 'urban legends', some of them which seem entirely fabricated, I don't know,…

someone please tell me why was jered leto here?
Mason Prince likedUrban LegendA fun and exciting post-Scream slasher. Tons of inventive kills and a decent twist, URBAN LEGEND is an exciting and suspenseful horror flick that’s great as a popcorn movie. 7/10
ChungiBoi is "meh" onUrban LegendA mediocre late 90’s slasher clearly trying to capitalize on the success of Scream but not coming even close to the quality. The characters are forgettable, acting is mid to bad, and for having a premise based on legends, the kills aren’t particularly interesting

6/10
Whoppa Birthday likedUrban LegendA slasher that is just interesting enough to be enjoyable. Some interesting twists with an ultimately groan-worthy ending. Easily a top 5 worst final girl in a horror film but the supporting cast help to enhance the quality. The sick soundtrack is the cherry on top of this flick.
GENAI lovedUrban LegendAlthough all the kills were creative and nearly every one was sad, it was so hard to deal with almost every character being brain dead or straight up evil to the point where I wanted them dead. But even though I called the killer before the reveal, it was still such a gag.

8.1 This had all of the makings of a great slasher movie. It had good kills, interesting characters, a 90s cheesiness that I love in this kind of movie, and a unique plot. This was a very enjoyable horror movie and I was pleasantly surprised by it
MovieDaddy lovedUrban LegendPainfully 90s in all the most glorious ways. A post-scream “who’s the killer” horror offering that stands out amongst an over-saturated subgenre. This one would pair nicely with “Valentine” for a double feature. High rewatchability.
jeremiah likedUrban LegendThis movie was actually not that bad. A solid horror movie, especially for its time. the killer and the motive was kinda stupid but i guess it works. I just wish there was more. And this movie isn’t really scary at all. 6.5/10

Metacritic
Spottily directed and lacking the dubious merits of even the Friday the 13th franchise, this is one slasher film that should die a quick and lonely box-office death.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
The film is competently made, and the attractive cast emotes and screams energetically.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Like Frankenstein's monster before the lightning strikes, it's all recycled cold flesh and bolts, without a twitch of originality.
