15 Horror Films That Prove Hollywood Hates You
5. Urban Legends: Final Cut
Loaded with jive talkin’ caricatures, false scares and characters that have ‘red herring’ written all over them, this sequel follows up 1998’s Urban Legend by….completely abandoning the device of killing its teenage characters using urban legends.
Instead, the filmmakers follow the Scooby Doo template and have everyone resort to unfunny slapstick in between being chased by a masked villain. There’s even a an amusement park ride called Tunnel Of Terror, where the mannequins are strangely lifelike.
The culprit turns out to be the gang’s teacher, who has been killing off his own students, one after the other, on his own campus, so he can steal their “brilliant” student film and pass it off as his own. And he would’ve gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids.
