Urban Legends: Final Cut Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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.
eduser2003 This movie made no damn sense. After the star saw her friend killed on tape why would she not go to the police. Because some guy that she just met told her that he doesn't have a good relationship with the police. What the hell does that have to do with her reporting that there is a killer on the loose killing her friends. Her friends continue to get murdered and she continues to not say anything. Explain. There is no explanation. In addition, when the kids get killed, why is there absence not reported? Didn't they have any friends or love ones? The teacher stills the work of a student and then kills the student. Isn't this a rip off of DOA? It is, but soooo much worse. Please, if you haven't already, do not waste your time watching this nonsense.
FlashCallahan Studying at Alpine University, Amy Mayfield seeks help, especially from the late Travis Stark's twin brother Trevor Stark.She needs help to complete her thesis on Pendleton's 'urban legends' theme for Professor Solomon's film class.After the volunteers fall victim one by one to new urban legend-copycat-killings, both desperately dig for the truth to save themselves and hopefully their friends, all suspect as well as staff...Did we need a sequel to the original? I don't think so.But, even though it'ss one of the most pointless horrors going, it's really good for a comedy.devoid of any scares or ability have any element of fear in the film, we have to rely on the (some) now famous faces to provide something else other than scares. And they sort of give us what we want.The main story is like some watered down version of Scream 3 (a film that isn't very good either). Now while that movie takes itself very seriously, this thankfully doesn't.I don't know whether it was the makers intentions, but everybody has an 'evil' look about them during one scene in the film. It happens that much, that you really have no idea who the killer is until the big reveal at the end.So all in all, as a horror movie, it stinks, as a sequel, it stinks.As a diverting piece of humour it works, and for some reason, it's ever so surreal.
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).
