Uninspired dreck, Urban Legends: Final Cut has none of the wit or charisma of the original. The casting is fine and features Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Eva Mendes, and Anthony Anderson, but the story is crap. An art student working on her thesis film about urban legends finds that her crew is slowly being picked off one-by-one by a mysterious killer. The script is terrible, particularly the weak and uninteresting urban legends that it uses. And, the film itself is incredibly pretentious with all its metaphors about film. Urban Legends: Final Cut is a barely coherent film that has no real scares to it.
Really solid, fun sequel. Goes a totally different route, and I appreciate it for that. Sure, it's not wholly original, but it's entertaining and I love the ties to the first movie.
Not sure why this bad sequel is more available especially on Amazon video over being able to get the original. There's some future stars here but the cast of the original was far more impressive.
