Spooky folk tales start to come true in this gory hit scare-fest, Urban Legend.

As slasher movie enthusiasts will be aware, there are as many inventive serial killers as there are higher education establishments in America.

This time, it's a group of film school students looking nervously over their shoulders as competition for places begins to get even more cut-throat than usual.

Aspiring filmmaker Amy (Morrison, Stir Of Echoes) plans to shoot a film about a killer who despatches victims according to urban myths - the sort of stories people tell around campfires to scare companions.

But when a suspicious 'suicide' is followed by a series of mysterious and horrific deaths on campus, it seems that Amy's colleagues could end up in the morgue before their final reels are in the can.

Dark humour congeals around the scares in this seriously gruesome thriller.
