When Scream kicked
off the slasher revival of the 90s/early 00s, it did it in a way that was both
intriguingly left field and completely misinterpreted by production companies
looking to capitalize on its success. While this era is hardly the pit of
despair that so many horror fans claim it to be, many of those ‘nu-slashers’
are certainly mediocre to terrible at best and for that reason I haven’t even
bothered to revisit many of them since they came out. However, at the request
of some of our readers, Urban Legend
came to be on my review queue and eventually I warmed to the idea of taking on
this modern slasher that spawned its own franchise...the sequels of which I have
yet to revisit since they were released either.
