Advantages: Good premise, clever ending Disadvantages: Too similar to other films
the students nearby. Just when the students think this is all a myth they start being killed off one by one in the most grotesque manners which were once thought to only be urban legends? until now.
Urban Legend is a teen slasher film that was released around the time of films like Scream and I know What You Did Last Summer, these have now become classic teen horrors however Urban Legend somehow managed to slip under the radar and I had never even heard of it until a few weeks ago when it was showing on Sky Movies.
The reason that this film gradually faded into obscurity is because there?s nothing original about it, it?s almost as if it tries too hard with the plotline.

rectangles sitting side by side each containing either a very short article or an excerpt of about 230 words on a subject you're mostly not interested in in the least. According to Helium the members are presented with articles from channels (Helium speak for categories) they've posted themselves in, well, that sounds harmless, but one book review is enough and you're flooded with poems that can only be seen as an insult to the reader's intelligence. I regret the decision to post a biting article on missionary work because Helium in its unfathomable wisdom now thinks I must be interested in
