Here’s what the distributor says about their film: During a contest to determine the best thesis film, student filmmakers at Alpine University are having an unusually hard time of it because someone is killing crew members. Among the student competitors are the son of a famous film mogul and Amy, whose thesis film is about the contemporary tall tales known as urban legends and who must unmask the killer before she too becomes an urban legend.

I recently saw this movie and was expecting something similar to the 1st Urban Legend, which it was to an extent, but introduced some new themes. I enjoyed the 1st one, the 2nd reminded me of the final “Scream” shows… more and more predictable toward the end. Oh well… it’s not bad to watch if you like the “let’s figure out who killed who”/psycho/killer/horror genre. But it’s not a family type movie. There’s some boobs, violence and profanity, but that is pretty much a given. Wait and catch it at the $1.50 theater, buy the popcorn and large soda and don’t be surprised with “the twist” at the end. It’s only a buck fifty… you’ll save a few if you didn’t like it.
