Good premise wasted in tepid horror film

5/10

"The days of low-budget slasher films appear to be back with Urban Legend, a mildly entertaining but mostly lame variation on Scream with an attractive cast of young TV stars. The plot centers on a series of campus murders in the mold of urban legends, most of which will be familiar even to the younger audience this is pandering to. What little suspense there is comes from the anticipation of these scenes, since the surrounding story is almost as ridiculous as the film itself. If the screenwriters had concentrated less on incorporating the whodunit aspect into the plot and more on the legends..."
