As I enjoyed the rather cheesy original Urban Legends film, I came to this expecting much of the same. A bit of a guilty pleasure to watch with no expectations with crisps and dip and a glass or two of wine.
However, this sequel is just bad, with little joy to be found. There aren’t even any decent scares or gore to liven things up. The film merely plods from one scene to another, the occasional murder or chase scene bookmarked by dreary characterisation and a plot that is so stupid and wafer-thin that it could blow away at any moment.
The only light in such a dank movie is Loretta Devine as security guard Reese, desperate to capture the essence of LL Cool J’s fun turn in the original. She’s immensely watchable but cannot save the scenes she’s in let alone the whole movie. Avoid.
