剧情介绍
美国新英格兰地区的普德顿大学流传着一个名为“斯坦利堂大屠杀”的恐怖传奇，话说25年前，一名异常心理学教授在斯坦利堂大开杀戒随后自杀，这起血腥惨案至今在学生中间广为流传。适值此时，校园内发生一连串的凶杀案。校报记者保罗·加德纳（杰拉德·莱托 Jared Leto 饰）坚信凶手就隐藏在校园内，他的朋友之一娜塔莎·西蒙（艾丽西亚·维特Alicia Witt 饰）更将此事与斯坦礼堂大屠杀联系起来。他们二人携手调查此事，在这一过程中，他们的朋友借二连三遇难。娜塔莎吃惊地意识到，她和保罗已经进入凶手设下的狩猎陷阱之中。
越逼近真相，危险便离他们越近…… 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, a beautiful, academically-gifted student at the fictional Pendleton University. Natalie and her friends are all involved in the Folklore class being taught by Professor Wexler. 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. No one, including her friends, Wexler, Dean Adams and security guard, of course, believes her until it's too late. Now she finds that she and her friends are part of the killer's ultimate urban legend.

没有政治正确的学生选角，全员有特色的女性角色塑造，包括校园保安大妈。用美国都市传说打造剧本确实不错，题材多样，做为90年代末期的校园类惊悚恐怖片，虽然没有过多着墨在如何杀人但气氛营造很好，在当年看可能觉得素质一般，但相比现在的片子真的好太多了。2024.3.22重刷，6.5-7/10。
我究竟是太正常还是太失常，真看不明白主角们每一个行为举动的逻辑，唯一惊喜的是发觉“你是不是庆幸昨晚没开灯”的起源竟然是此片
+4
还行，剧情简单。纯粹的狙人……
又臭又烂故弄玄虚，不过有一说一比国产的要好太多
1.严格遵守黑人为白人主角扛枪的设定2.很多反转 我猜错了两次凶手
意外地不错
与《我知道你去年夏天干了什么》套路一致，而本身那部就是跟风《惊声尖叫》的（不得不说有对比才知道确实是里程碑，创造了鬼面IP），但竟然并没有任何进步，甚至远远不如。
反派还挺难杀
杀人需极大动力，牵住女主的背景的主线，男主的意愿和大奶女坏人的复仇和暗恋是很成功的干扰
很舒服的电影，作为20世纪之前的作品，估计引领不少校园、传说、杀戮诸如此类的同类型电影，虽然反转结局让人觉得有点意外，但不可否认的是意料之外情理之中
“I’ve already tried therapy!” ——The Killer. 自Scream后的Teen Slasher都进入了元电影的怪圈，角色对经典恐怖电影套路一清二楚。而Urban Legend作为Scream最优秀的后继者之一选取了都市传说的角度，把观众耳熟能详的诸如“后座有人”“浴缸取肾”等自母亲一辈就告诫、刻入自保基因的恐惧复刻到电影里。片中还不乏对其他恐影的致敬，从小道具到客串演员到角色名字都非常用心。配乐走古典风格，Alicia Witt是非常无聊的final girl，但Tara Reid的追逐片段设置的非常棒，最iconic的还是Rebecca Gayheart的表演，夸张又复杂，带着她的全包眼线和完美卷发直接进入恐影疯婆子名人堂。
感觉只有开头那幕比较有意思…后面看得我好困
配角永远都是脆皮，一会儿就死了，主角和杀手就是血太厚，永远死不了🤣，不过当着一般的片子看看也是不错的🤣
单纯的爽片，不讲逻辑，好在最后的多个反转和电台取样猎杀稍显刺激，除此之外，毫无亮点。
