Synopsis:
When New England college student Natalie finds herself at the centre of a series of sadistic murders seemingly inspired by urban legends, she resolves to find the truth about Pendleton’s own legend — a 25 year old story of a student massacre at the hands of an Abnormal Psych professor.
As the fraternities prepare to celebrate the macabre anniversary, Natalie discovers that she is the focus of the crazed killer’s intentions in the ultimate urban legend — the story of her own horrific murder.

Your Opinions and Comments
The characters are not as believable as the director wants us to think (as he says in the nice commentary) and the story itself is rather predictable.
The video transfer is good. There`s nothing too "glamorous" in this movie and most of the scenes (especially the dark ones) are rendered with no compression signs at all.
The DD 5.1 audio is ordinary. Other than forcing the viewer to jump out of the seat (I didn`t, by the way), it`s not doing anything.
The behind the scenes feature is nice but could`ve been a bit longer and more informative.
One last thing - you simply gotta love the "Dawson Creek" gag. :)
