Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

How Jennifer Morrison and Matthew Davis keep straight faces through it all is beyond me.

What ensues is painfully horrific and reprehensible as entertainment.

I don't know if you're tired of terrified girls racing through shadowy basements pursued by masked slashers while the soundtrack pulses with variations on the Halloween theme, but I am. Real tired.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

This horror-and-suspense vehicle, which dabbles pointlessly in reflexivity, doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

It's a decidedly postmodern, self-referential sort of thing. And it's still not very good.

Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)

It's several, uh, cuts below its predecessors, as well as the modest hit from 1998 it purports to be a sequel to.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

There's nothing here that the Scream movies didn't do first and better.

Gemma Files Film.com (Top Critic)

A dressed-up piece of drivel, a self-referential pseudo-thriller with pretensions to pretensions of classic Hollywood suspense.

Impossible to follow.

Christy Lemire Associated Press (Top Critic)

Makes the original Urban Legend look like an Alfred Hitchcock movie by comparison.

As in the original, the essential effectiveness of urban legends is subverted by the usual slasher movie conventions.

It's even worse than its predecessor.

Geoff Andrew Time Out

This horror sequel opens with an out of control passenger plane, then plummets to intellectual ground zero.

The young actors all look like blander versions of more famous people.

The embodiment of all that is wrong with the horror genre today . . . avoid it like raw plutonium

Apart from one returning minor character and a few cursory references, there is no correlation between the two. Unless you want to count the fact that they're both really, really bad.

Perhaps the most moronic horror film I've seen this year.

This is yet another scary film within a scary film concept (surely someone would have pointed out to director John Ottman that this has actually been done before?).

By the time the facts are finally revealed, you just won't care.

This is pleasantly much less insulting than most films in the genre ... and far more entertaining than it has any right to be after its dire predecessor.

Ottman and the cast have done a good job with a limited script and budget, but it's not worth rushing out to unless your a major fan of teen horror flicks.

There are so many killings early on (remember, we've got three movie's worth of killings happening at once) that we have great difficulty settling in with a storyline.

Not what becomes a legend most.

This new offering keeps the mediocrity alive as it unleashes yet more unsavoury nonsense.
