Natalie is the first one to suspect there's a killer on campus, especially after she has ties to all of the victims. First, it's her high school friend, a guy she's in the woods with at night, her roomate.. No one, including her friends, Wexler, Dean Adams and security guard, of course, belives her until it's too late and everyone begins to die according to famous ubran legends, and Natalie believes it's all tied to a dark and horrible secret from her past.

Australian director Jamie Blanks helmed this teen horror film set at Pendelton University. Campus legend has it that 25 years earlier Pendelton was the site of a mass murder by a demented abnormal psych instructor who killed 6 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. When a series of bizarre deaths occur on the campus, assertive student Natalie thinks they are murders based on urban legends, but classmates Brenda, ambitious jornalism major Paul, and practical joker Damon claim its just a coincidence. Then Natalie begins to realise that she's the next victim.
