Urban Legend (1998)
Following the success of Scream, this was an attempt to make an upmarket slasher film based around the motif of urban legends in the same way that Scream used 1980s slasher films. It is a stretch to make urban legends fit in some cases but director Jamie Blanks delivers reasonable tension
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005)
The third of the Urban Legend films, unconnected to any of the previous two. This lamely tries to stretch the thin premise out to a story of high school supernatural vengeance
Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)
Sequel fairly much in name only to Urban Legend and barely at all about urban legends, this has the amusing idea of taking place at a film school and features a number of sly asides. This alas befalls routine direction
Urge (2016)
The use of a designer drug causes a small island to descend into mass insanity – this is essentially The Crazies repackaged as a slick empty-headed thriller for teen audiences. The various scenes of madness are frequently laughable and the film arrives at possibly the most ridiculous twist ending one has ever seen
Urotsukidoji II: Legend of the Demon Womb (1989)
The first of two OVA sequels to the anime classic Legend of the Overfiend, this lacks the perverse imagery of the original
Us (2019)
Jordan Peele’s follow-up to the massive hit of Get Out. This is a doppelganger film where the metaphors that Peele is trying to make are not entirely clear but what you cannot deny is that he demonstrates considerable assurance as a genre director
User Friendly (1990)
Oddball New Zealand-made comedy with various characters in pursuit of a statuette with rejuvenative properties
Uzumaki (2000)
Surreal Japanese horror film in which the world is taken over by spiral patterns. A strange and trippy film.
