If you remember the Urban Legend movies, you’ll have a memory of a none too shabby teen slasher flick of the kind that was so popular following the release of Scream in the late nineties.

I’m a bit biased on this one, I confess. I’m terribly fond of the After Dark Horror Fest, believing that it comprises some of the best horror flicks out in the field today with some truly spectacular material.
