3). Urban Legends: Final Cut
With an incredibly intriguing gimmick, you can’t be shocked by the fact that this film exists. Still maintaining the college setting, the second film in the Urban Legends franchise is just as good as the first. The killers’ costume, a fencing mask, is far more original than a large winter coat. It makes the villain far more intriguing and ten times scarier.
Reception of the film was not that great. Critics were quoted saying that it was an unoriginal entry to an exhausted genre. I would like to politely respond with a middle finger to the critics who felt that way. Final Cut sticks to the rules of the original, meaning that the victims must be killed using the format of an urban legend. I found it to be far more brutal and a much better “whodunit,” despite not having a shocking conclusion like the first.
You could also make a pretty good case for GINGER SNAPS and THE CELL…
