  "description": "Do you smell something? Urban Legend occupies the same milieu as Cherry Falls and I Know What You Did Last Summer but is far closer in quality to the latter. I vaguely remember having seen this before or, at least, I believe I have. I could also be that the setting is extremely familiar. The coffee shop — Friends burned this into everyone's mind — feels so emblematic and central to the time. But, unlike Central Perk, where nothing ever goes all that wrong, what's discussed here are murders past and present. One after another. Rumored deaths, cover ups, urban legends and fixtures of the popular lack of imagination. There are house parties with misused microwaves, pop rock fatalities both real and imagined and vengeance for a wrong that the protagonist committed and fails to connect. Is this Jared Leto at his most normal? Remember when gas was right around $1? How do you not see the guy in your back seat when you reach for a tape? Does nobody look in their backseat? The puffy jacket is a good killer disguise for a college in Maine. Everyone's trying to stay warm and stay alive. An essential entry into the genre of 90s campy slashers.",
