What to Know

Critics Consensus

This teen horror movie brings nothing new to an already exhausted genre. And it's bad. Really bad.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader 01/08/2007
This horror-and-suspense vehicle, which dabbles pointlessly in reflexivity, doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters. Go to Full Review
Geoff Andrew Time Out 06/24/2006
This horror sequel opens with an out of control passenger plane, then plummets to intellectual ground zero. Go to Full Review

What ensues is painfully horrific and reprehensible as entertainment. Go to Full Review

3/5
As a largely standalone story, one with an occasional giallo quality to its aesthetic and a self-reflexive plot to keep you engaged, [Urban Legends: Final Cut] is a cut above other lower-profile slashers from the same era. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black JoBlo's Movie Network 09/21/2023
3.5/5
Overall, the film is entertaining, but it feels more formulaic than the first, with some parts of its story feeling like they are trying too hard. The film really wants to be more than it is, but it kind of fails. Go to Full Review

...a middle-of-the-road slasher flick that's competently made yet mostly devoid of innovative, compelling elements... Go to Full Review

Melissa L @Agent99 Nov 23 I think it's pretty good, and, once again, I don't understand the low ratings. It borrows from other horror movies...a little bit of "Psycho," and a little bit of "Scream." I recommend it. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 4 Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bacaninha, e metade do elenco ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, o filme também teve muito coadjuvantes para revelar quem é o assassino é era o professor que matou travis e disse que ele se matou, por que travis tinha um filme melhor do que ele, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme. See more Brian V @bonvivant63 Aug 8 Fun cast that mostly went on and found relative success. For a movie that is meta about the film making process, this movies felt a little inept. See more Timothy P @timop1919 Aug 1 One of the worst movies I've ever seen but unfortunately not bad enough to at least be able to laugh at. Just dumb and boring with terrible performances all around. The worst acting with annoying characters and a lame plot. Just don't bother with this nothingness. See more Ethan G Mar 18 There's been worse, but there's certainly been better. See more Justin T Feb 22 I hate films that have extended sections of a fictional film in the real film pretending they are fake films but only reveal it’s a fake film after what appears to be one take although in reality it would have been lots of takes if that makes sense. I mean if a film student made the film in the opening with all that cast and crew and production quality then they are not a film student they are an expert. Anyway, whatever, the fun opening was ruined by a poor concept. The film is well made but silly in an entertaining way. I hate films about film students. Conceptually I hated this film, it’s not really about urban legends at all. It reminded me of Peeping Tom (1960) but with higher production value and less interesting. The cast is so generic. There’s a silly moment when someone hears something through a microphone but it’s nowhere near them, you can't hear someone on a boom mic through a few walls.The locations are cool and it has some really good set pieces and I actually liked the ending. Not the worst sequel but also not very good, slightly below average. See more Read all reviews
