Review – Urban Legend 2: Final Cut

I think I’m already on record as generally resenting sequels that don’t have much to do with the previous efforts in the series. Here it’s even more insulting than usual because the film-makers graft a couple of the conventions and characters from the first one onto a script that probably started out as something completely different. For example, the shtick from the first one was that all the killings had something to do with an urban legend. Here only the first slaying is legend-connected, and even then the folklore element seems like an afterthought. Furthermore, any movie about film students starts on my bad side and has to work its way into my good graces. This one just didn’t pull it off. See if desperate
