Tall tales turn into chilling reality in this sequel to the 1998 horror hit Urban Legend. Amy Mayfield (Jenny Morrison) is a film student at Alpine University who for her thesis project (which will also be her entry to a prestigious competition for young directors) has decided to make a horror film about urban legends that suddenly and disturbingly come true. However, as Amy and her student cast and crew begin filming staged murders for the project, members of her team begin dying for real, and the survivors have to track down the killer before they become the next victims. And where do Travis (Matthew Davis), Graham (Joey Lawrence), and Toby (Anson Mount), three other students vying for the same prize as Amy, fit into this scenario? Urban Legends: The Final Cut marked the directorial debut for John Ottman, who previously distinguished himself as an editor and composer (he also performed both of those functions for this film). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Horror hits a second time in director John Ottman's sequel Urban Legends: The Final Cut. Columbia has done a fine job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sporting solid colors and well-saturated black levels, this transfer is near perfect save for a few moments of edge enhancement during a couple of scenes. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 in English as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French and English. The 5.1 soundtrack on this disc features tense sound and many moments of directional use in both the front and rear speakers. Overall the 5.1 and 2.0 mixes are free of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Fans of this film will be thrilled to see a few extra features available on this release. Starting off the supplements is a commentary track by director/composer John Ottman, which is informative and sometimes apologetic for some of the film's major flubs. Also included on this disc is a short, fluffy behind-the-scenes featurette, a gag reel of some mess-ups by the cast, seven deleted scenes with optional commentary by the director that are actually fairly interesting, a few small talent files on the cast and crew, DVD-ROM info, and theatrical trailers for the films Urban Legend, Urban Legends: The Final Cut, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
