Urban Legend
Director: Jamie Blanks
Actors: Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart
PlotAt Pendleton University, a seemingly tranquil college campus is plunged into terror when students begin dying in a series of murders inspired by urban legends. The protagonist, the introspective Natalie, finds herself increasingly isolated as her friends dismiss her fears as paranoia. As the body count rises, she delves into the history of the university, uncovering a forgotten campus tragedy that may be related to the present killings. With each victim, the killer cleverly disguises the murders to look like well-known urban myths, causing panic and disbelief among the student population.
Amidst the chaos, Natalie bonds with journalism student Paul, who is eager to uncover the truth behind the murders for the school newspaper. As they investigate together, their friendship grows, but so does the danger. The duo discovers that the key to solving the mystery may lie within the very myths the killer uses as inspiration. With the murderer always one step ahead, Natalie and Paul must navigate a minefield of clues and red herrings, racing against time to prevent the next death. As they get closer to the truth, they realize that the campus's dark past is not just a backdrop to the killings but may hold the secret to stopping them.
