After a bravura opening sequence featuring Natasha Gregson Wagner getting slaughtered by the killer with an axe hiding in the backseat of her car, Urban Legend tells the story of a group of pretty college students at a remote New England university. The focus of the story is Natalie (Alicia Witt), a beautiful, academically-gifted student at the fictional Pendleton University. Natalie and her friends (who include Jared Leto as a brash journalist, Rebecca Gayheart as her best friend, Michael Rosenbaum as the party-hardy boy, Joshua Jackson as a practical joker and Tara Reid as the sexy campus DJ) are all involved in the Folklore class being taught by Professor Wexler (Robert Englund). Wexler regales his class with urban legends, which include Pendleton's own urban legend about a Psych professor who murdered six students at Stanley Hall 25 years ago. Natalie is the first one to suspect there's a killer on campus, especially after she has ties to all of the victims. First, it's her high school friend, a guy she's in the woods with at night, her roommate (Danielle Harris)... No one, including her friends, Wexler, Dean Adams (John Neville) and security guard (Loretta Devine), of course, believes her until it's too late and everyone begins to die according to famous urban legends, and Natalie believes it's all tied to a dark and horrible secret from her past. Now she finds that she and her friends are part of the killer's ultimate urban legend--the story of their own horrific deaths...
Awesome movie - I loved it! Not to give you the spoiler but the end is the best that it could be you will never believe who the killer really is! A must watch if you like the chiller movies with a twisted killer.

I like this movie if only because the professor is Robert Englund.
Haha what can I say I'm a Freddy Kruger fangirl. I met Robbie years ago.
Anyway, wouldn't you LOVE to take Wexler's class? Credit for dissecting and discussing Urban Legends, that is so cool!!
I forgot Jared Leto was in this. I'll have to watch it again sometimes soon.
I remeber when it came out how cool it was that they made a movie about a killer who makes urban Legends a reality.
The concept was very unique at the time.

I watched this over Halloween. It was fun to watch with a "tween" who had never ever seen it before.
I forgot Jared Leto was in this (reads last post) Okaaay I forgot he was in this again. Clearly not one of his most memorable performances.
