Plot
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). — Bhob Stewart
