    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 4.0

    Another great film in the Urban Legend seires.

    Although CommonSense may not like it, I absolutely love it! It's not as good as the first, of course. But this is almost as good. With enough scares, plot, and gore to satisfy any horror fan, I would reccomend it for teens 13+, due to graphic violence, language, and a sex scene (No nudity) (slight spoilers) (Also, I might say that the only thing I hate about this film is the motive of the killer.)
