Urban Legend. 1998
A killer targeting teens on a college campus using the "Urban Legends" stories as a way of leaving the kills as a calling card. Apart from some good performances Urban Legend has many other assets. The opening sequence alone was enough to keep me hooked especially with a cameo appearance from Brad Dourif who plays a petrol station attendant trying to tell a young woman that someone is in her car and gets pepper sprayed for his troubles.
Robert England turns up as a professor who tries to debunk a much of eating popping candy and drinking a can of fizzy pop but may also be a suspect. Jared Leto is one of the teens who is also a doubters, along with Michael Rosenbaum and Tara Reid. If anyone has seen the slasher film ATM may recognise the same jacked that was inspired by this film. The acting isn't spectacular but everyone tries their best, entertaining enough for a teen slasher.
