Urban Legend 2:The Final Cut

  
Urban Legend 2:The Final Cut is a 2000 horror movie directed by John Ottman and starring Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Eva Mendes, Loretta Devine, Hart Bochner, Anthony Anderson and Joseph Lawrence.

The movie begins with students at a film school. There is a film competition and a girl called Amy(Morrison) is going to make a film about an urban legends killer after talking to security guard, Reese(Devine). A girl called Lisa goes for a drink and it is spiked. She passes out and she wakes up in a bath full of ice. Her kidney has been removed. She calls the police and tries to escape, but she gets killed in the process. Amy's friend is also killed and her death is filmed by the killer. Somehow, the killer manages to put it on their camera and they all see it. They don't think that it is real. A student called Travis(Matthew Davis) kills himself over his bad grades. Amy meets his twin, Trevor.
He says that his brother did not kill himself. He thinks he was murdered. He asks her not to tell anyone.

Amy's cameraman, Simon is beaten to death. Amy hears someone being attacked. She is looking through her reels when the killer arrives and tries to attack her. She runs off and gets away. She talks to Trevor about what happened.Amy and her crew go to an old place to film some scenes. The killer just happens to be there. He kills a couple of students by electrocuting them. Amy returns to campus and notifies the police, who think it was an accident. Amy sees a light on in the bell tower and she wanders up there to find her friend, Vanessa(Mendes), waiting there for her. Vanessa had received a note from Amy saying that she had feelings for her. It is a forgery and it is a trap. The killer is there and Amy is pursued once again, while Vanessa is killed.Reese shows up and finds the body.

It turns out that Travis had made a film and that all of the people who worked on it are dead except for one- a guy called Toby. They hold him and they call Professor Solomon(Bochner) to tell him what happened. He comes to meet them and there is a confrontation. Toby is innocent. The Professor is the killer. He shoots Toby. He wants to frame Amy for it. Her father was a filmmaker and he didn't vote for Solomon's film in an awards ceremony so his career never took off. He wanted to take Travis' film and pass it off as his own. Reese shows up. She is unaware of who the killer is. They end up holding guns on each other. The Professor gets shot when he tries to kill Amy. The movie ends with Solomon watching Amy's film. He is wheeled back to his room by a nurse, who just happens to be Brenda from the first movie. She tells him that they have a lot in common!!

This was a fun film. It isn't as good as the first one, but there is enough to keep you entertained. It was pretty easy to figure out who the killer was early on. The cast were not bad on the whole. It was a bit silly at the end, but all in all, this was decent enough. I recommend it. I will give it a 5/10.
