Alicia I love this movie so much
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
GL84 Reappearing at school after a prank, a teen begins to suspect that the exceptionally strange kills and incidents surrounding her classmates are tied into a local legend similar to her encounter and finds the ghost of the woman is responsible forcing her to stop it.This here wasn't all that bad of a sequel. One thing it has going for it is that this one really has a lot of fun playing with its supernatural overtones which allows for some great scenes in here. A lot of this is due to the supernatural haunting-based attacks that occur in here which are quite chilling when based on the method of kills utilized to get the point across. The main scene involved with this is the attack in the bedroom, where the pajama-clad victim pops a zit, giving birth to a multitude of supernatural spiders from the wound and crawling over the bloodied body in a disturbing visual as she cuts away at herself in a particularly brutal fashion scores wonderfully, the motel assault is really chilling realizing that someone's in there and. Likewise, the few small indicators of the ghosts' background are quite fun with the flashes of her buried in the school as well as her dream of it being locked in the chest and crawling out for it being just as creepy and chilling as the other main attacks. This is mainly due to the ghost itself which is quite chilling, appearing with some nice facial distortions, creepy eyes and the wounds across the face making it pretty imposing while the flash lighting and quick moments leave it with a fine overall villain. As well, the curse that comes into play is quite nice with the ongoing mystery about her rampage and forcing the fun of the cemetery finale all makes for some good times to help hold off the few flaws with it. The most obvious one is that the really big, brutal deaths aren't based on urban legends and seem just thrown in for no real reason. The film's gimmick is that the kills are based around urban legends, yet neither being repeatedly stabbed in the chest with a broken beer bottle or urinating on an electrified fence and being shocked are real urban legends which doesn't have anything to do with anything making the whole purpose of the exercise quite fruitless. Another big flaw is that the film has a really convoluted opening. There's no reason for there to be as many different angles and ideas thrown in, making it overwritten and convoluted. There's way too much going on to really get a handle of it all, and it makes the beginning really hard to get into. The last really big flaw is the jerk-cutting done in the attack scenes. This happens quite often, where it flashes in a series of scenes so fast that it's impossible to tell what's going on for the intention of getting some creepy images in, but they just ruin it by going too fast. This happens during most of the scenes, and becomes distracting. A minor flaw is the thoroughly underwhelming hot-tub scene, but it isn't as bad as the other flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and drug use.
bbickley13-921-58664 The second sequel to urban legend, which was an attempt to cash in on Scream, was uninteresting in my book. I found the characters to superficial. In what I'm guessing was an early role for Kate Mora, her acting skills are pretty crappy. The film starts great with a scene of a group of girls at a slumber party, but as the story progress with the kids trying to figure out who or what is picking them off one by one, just got less and less interesting as I kept watching it. The movie was cleaver, but it had a hard time trying to figure out what type of horror movie it was. Was it going to be a movie that pays homage and is satire to the Slasher flick, or is it just a Slasher flick. The film never decides and it not brilliant enough not to need to
FlashCallahan Samantha Owens is the editor of the high school newspaper and was blacklisted with her two friends, Gina and Mindy, by the football players after an article about them, so they do not go to a high school party.Samantha tells to the other girls an urban legend told by her mother: in 1969, in Salt Lake City, the two girlfriends of Mary Banner are drugged by their dates in a prom, but she understands the situation and runs from her date, who kills her and hide her body in a trunk in the basement of the school.Along the night, the three girls are drugged and kidnapped in a prank of the players, but Samantha has visions and premonitions about Mary.When her school mates are killed, Mary visits Grace Taylor, one of the girls abused in 1969, and finds that the victims are the descendants of the trio that killed Mary......Had very low expectations after the disaster that was the second movie. But sometimes, these direct to DVD sequels have a knack of being pretty good and making you wish there were more instalments.There is nothing original about the film, and the makers even steal deaths from other movies (the sun-bed scene is straight from FD3), and the hotel scene and Mary are reminiscent of The Ring and Samara.But one cannot help to enjoy the film. Who cannot enjoy three girls having a pillow fight, mocking each other, and then being abducted, it makes no sense to the narrative, but, the film works.There is a twist at the end, but it's nothing special, and adds nothing to the film.Aside from that, it's a throwaway movie which does it's job
rtcnz This film has the POTENTIAL to be as great as the other two. It has pretty good characters, a pretty intriguing mystery, with this whole "past coming back to haunt" thread. BUT the ending is devastatingly lame.I watched the "making of", and the director seems a few bricks short of a wall. She explains the film, and why it is such a brilliant, clever film. But the gaping hole in her logic is that she is WRONG. It is NOT clever, it is utterly ludicrous.And there are too many stereotypes, from the jocks to the girls having pillow fights in their underwear, to the "Foxy Brown" / "power to the people" character.
