A barely competent slasher packed full of genre icons terrorizes the streaming streets

One of the single most surprising things about the current complexion of modern horror is that nobody has opted to reboot, remake, or breathe new life into the Urban Legend franchise. Virtually every other noteworthy IP has been dusted off at least once, but the street-level slasher saga has been sitting on the shelf gathering dust since 2005’s threequel Bloody Mary.

In fairness, that might have something to do with the fact all three installments were hardly greeted with glowing praise, even by the less discerning gorehounds who just want to witness bloody murder onscreen. Urban Legend could only rustle up a 24 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and 37 percent user rating, even if it did manage to haul in $72 million at the box office on a $14 million budget.
