Taking all the typical (American) Urban Legends into account, and creating a couple of their own, we follow a group of college students (Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, Michael Rosenbaum & Tara Reid) who's number is rapidly depleting, thanks to someone using urban legends to kill them.
A sleepover favourite, this slasher doesn't hold the same punch as it did when I was younger. The plot is very predictable and the gimmick is... well, just that: Gimmicky.
The film's ending is also very odd and highly displeasing. Although I'm sure it seemed ok at the time.
The characters are quite one dimensional, although it is fun seeing Jared Leto and the others in their younger years.
I also felt that Robert Englund was highly underutilised as a character.
Good teen sleepover fodder, but it doesn't survive a revisit.
