Alpine University seems a nice enough place for student filmmakers to ply their trade. That is until a Psycho turns up and starts reducing the intake. The original Urban Legend came out two years ago. It's plot was based around those horror stories which have passed into folklore. The difference was, in the movie the legends became reality and grizzly killings resulted.  | | Yeah, a broken window, a body and plenty of blood but I wouldn't really worry |
It's much the same in Final Cut except the urban legends might not be as familiar. The students are competing for the Hitchcock award. The winner will almost certainly make it to Hollywood. Amy (Jennifer Morrison) has a great idea to make a psychological thriller about urban legends. The only problem is, her film crew start disappearing with regularity and no one seems particularly bothered.  | | Come back. It's only a scratch |
It's a typical slasher film which tries to borrow from Hitchcock but doesn't come close to the Master of Suspense, although fans will notice attempts to borrow from movies like Vertigo. If you like Scream and Halloween then you'll probably like this. Be warned, however, remember Joey Lawrence, one time pop star. He stars in this, only he's transformed himself into Joseph. He's fooling no one!!
