The Best Mythology Movie

Urban legends. These are stories about events that the people telling them claim they have actually happened. Some refer to these stories as mythology. Namely American mythology.

It's the fall semester at a New England university. A group of kids reject the fact of a legendary student massacre that happened twenty-five years prior. According to legend, a professor went crazy with a hunting knife and killed an entire dormitory of students. Student reporter Paul (Jared Leto) denounces the story as fake, but Parker (Michael Rosenbaum) insists that the story is true.

These students are then exposed to more legends in their class when Professor Wexler (Robert Englund) exposes the truth behind several urban legends. However, these urban legends soon become reality when a killing spree is unleashed on unsuspecting students. Students are being murdered in re-enactments of these famous legends. For some inexplicable reason, the killing seems focused around sophomore student

After witnessing the murder of a fellow student, Natalie (Alicia Witt) sees her friends being slaughtered one by one by the urban legend serial killer. This scenario leads up a most triumphant conclusion.

The actors in this movie are fun to watch. Robert Englund gives a performance every bit as great as he did when he played Freddy Kruger in all seven Nightmare on Elm Street.
