Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe killer's outfit is based on the fact that the film was originally planned to be set in the middle of winter. When the weather was too warm, it was decided to drop the winter aspect of the storyline, rather than fake the snow in all the outdoor scenes, and dress all of the extras in winter outfits, but they kept the killer's costume.
- GoofsBlood congeals after half an hour exposed to oxygen; it is therefore impossible that the character's wrists would still be bleeding enough to soak through the white sheet that the coroner's men put on her in the morning.
- Alternate versionsThe version of the film shown on the USA network keeps onscreen violence to a minimum. All violence is shown very quickly, while the sound effects during killings have been removed entirely, and any shots of a dead body have been trimmed to show only a flash of what the body looks like.

Fun Horror Film
Urban Legend provides great value as it laughs, cries and scares it way through its running time. A really enjoyable addition to the 'horror smart' teen genre such as Scream and I Know What You Did...
The cast is pretty good as well which helps the film enormously.
Adding Robert Englund to the cast was an inspired choice.
Its good fun like its supposed to be :)
