Australian director
Jamie Blanks helmed this teen horror film set at Pendleton University. Campus legend has it that 25 years earlier Pendleton was the site of a mass murder by a demented abnormal psych instructor who killed six students and then himself. However, no proof of the prof's deed remains. Urban legends are the subject of a course in American folklore taught by Professor Wexler (
Robert Englund). When a series of bizarre deaths occur on the campus, assertive student Natalie thinks they are murders based on urban legends, but classmates Brenda (
Rebecca Gayheart), ambitious journalism major Paul (
Jared Leto), and practical joker Damon (
Joshua Jackson) claim it's just a coincidence. Then Natalie begins to realize that she's the next victim. Since
Joshua Jackson is a co-lead on TV's
Dawson's Creek, an inside joke surfaces when a radio plays a bit of the
Dawson's Creek theme (
Paula Cole's
I Don't Want to Wait).
