This movie shares just one character with the first Urban Legends : the amusing Pam Grier fan security guard Reese (Loretta Devine)who, after the events in the first episode, was "moved" to another school in order to avoid publicity. The setting of the school is different (modern, non-gothic), the plot is very much of the "a la Scream 3" type, the look of the killer is different (good idea this use of a fencing helmet)although he stills goes around in a parka "a la I still know what you did last summer" (not a surprise : the producers of both films are the same)... and there isn't much left of anything focusing on urban legends anymore... except that this movie is supposedly creating a new one. It is not that bad but everything in the genre has become predictable, therefore not very efficient anymore. The reference to Hitchkock is slightly ludicrous (the setting uses a tower that looks like a modern version of the tower that was cast in Vertigo)and the genre gets so worn out that it has to "borrow" from the "Blair witch project" in its scene ("real" terror and shaky camera). There is also a very dubious message at the end that goes like "to be a professor = to be a failure". For an audience consisting mostly of teenagers, let us hope that this movie will not constitute some part of their "education". The risk is fortunately not that great : this movie isn't good enough for this...
