A crazy killer spreads corpses and terror among the students of an American university campus. The mad killer murders his victims following procedures similar to the macabre "urban legends" that young people tell each other. Everyone is a potential culprit and a potential victim… Born in the wake of the success of "Scream" and "So What Did You Do", here is another American teen-horror with the classic clichés of the genre: attractive and very superficial girls, boys without scruples, a mad killer who spreads corpses here and there, and the inevitable final twist. Those who love this type of "Urban Legend" movies will certainly not be disappointed, as the film offers some good moments of suspense (excellent the opening sequence) and a couple of original ideas, all enhanced by the presence in the cast of Robert "Freddy" Englund. Especially for genre lovers.
