Many urban legends end in grisly death, a fact put to excellent use in this appealingly self-aware slasher film. Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Joshua Jackson and Natasha Gregson Wagner are among the students targeted by an unstoppable killer who may or may not be connected to a 1973 massacre at their New England university. Among the suspects is a professor played by A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET’s Robert Englund.
