Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
C R I remember seeing this movie as a kid. That kidney scene f*ked me up. Totally forgot about it (except for remembering the kidney scene every once in a while but never knew the name of the movie so I never paid it much mind). Now I'm an adult and remembered the bathtub scene a few days ago so decided to google "girl wakes up in bathtub of ice movie) and voila I found it.The bathtub scene still makes me hold my stomach and squint not because it's all that scary but I guess it still makes me feel like how I felt as a kid watching it. It made me feel the nostalgia I felt re-watching Final Destination as an adult as apposed to as a kid (still creeps me the f*k out.)I know this movie isn't highly rated but seeing it first as a six year old and now seeing it again makes it hold a special place in my heart.
Sanjna Po Much like the first film, 'Urban Legends 2', is also one of those films that you appreciate more for the idea than the execution. There wasn't anything new in this sequel, there were murders based on urban legends and it was your usual mystery. Though the acting was not too bad, the actual writing and over complications are a perfect example of too many cooks spoiling the broth, with the cooks being all the stupid twists written in. There was nothing memorable about it, and I watched it in a completely idle mind, not taking it even remotely seriously. It was probably not the worst murder mystery ever taken, but definitely not amongst the best. The only thing that makes this flick watchable is Loretta, playing the lovable, kick-ass campus security guard.
Cedric_Catsuits Imagine a cross between Scream and Scary Movie, without the humour or acting ability. Add a really stupid plot and shameful directing. Then divide by 10 and you have some idea what this movie is like.Morrison's ridiculous attempts to evade capture by pretending to be a one-legged headless chicken, accompanied by the most pathetic screaming I've ever heard, are a lowlight of what is already a pretty poor film. Combined with Bochner, these two surely deserve every Razzie ever awarded.How such a bad film can be almost totally devoid of any humour is some achievement. When it does surface, it's too little too late. The last scene contains a pleasant surprise and is really the only reason i rated it 2 and not 1.
BA_Harrison Urban Legends: Final Cut, the sequel to slick 90s slasher Urban Legend, starts with a film-within-a-film sequence in which a crazed killer stalks the passengers and crew of an airborne jet, even going so far as to slit the throats of the pilots (now that's what I call deranged!); unbelievably, this 'masterpiece' is supposed to be the work of a talented student attending the country's leading film college, and from this patently ridiculous opening, it is evident that Final Cut is going to be utter nonsense. But the question is, how daft is it all going to get before the end credits roll?Well, the answer is 'extremely daft'—Final Cut runs the gamut from mildly dumb to absolutely ridiculous over the course of 97 minutes; but the good news is that the cast and crew of the film seem to be quite aware how utterly absurd their material is, and play things accordingly.So even though the film dares to feature such clichéd plot elements as an omnipresent masked killer with a preposterous motive (this one opts for a fencing mask for no discernible reason), identical twins (always a winner in a horror film), a feisty black female security guard who saves the day (again!... Loretta Devine reprises her role from the first film), a heroine who is unable to convince others of the danger she is in, and comedy relief in the form of a pair of crazy special effects geeks, at least viewers can rest assured that none of it is meant to be be taken too seriously and revel in its sheer cheesiness.With tongue-in-cheek performances all round, umpteen movie references for film fans to spot, a couple of hokey in-jokes, and even one genuinely inspired moment at the end of the film featuring a Mexican stand off in which no-one is sure if the gun they are holding is real or a prop, time passes fairly painlessly and the film should prove pretty entertaining to fans of slashers (a genre which, let's face it, rarely produces works of genius). My only real gripes are that the gore level could have done with being much higher—the only genuinely gruesome kill being a nifty decapitation near the start of the film—and the absence of a gratuitous shower scene with a buxom babe (or two).
