Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the "People Can Lick Too" segment, there is a scene near the beginning where the older sister hands the younger sister some money and says "I'm going out tonight, don't tell anybody". At the point where she begins to say "Don't tell anybody", the audio\visual becomes mismatched, as her mouth is clearly saying something else.

Four teenagers are coming from a concert. They're driving recklessly down a dark winding road. The car crashes and they all stumble out. While waiting for help they start telling ghost stories. The first-- called "RV"-has a newly wed couple confronted by monsters. "People Can Lick Too" has an 11 year old girl being menaced by a pedophile. "The Locket" has a young man meeting a beautiful, mute woman in an old farmhouse. Then it cuts back to the four kids. It seems help has arrived...but not what they expected.
All four of the tales are based on urban legends--in part or in whole. This, unfortunately, makes it kind of a chore to watch if you know all the legends and how they end. Still this isn't a total washout. All the segments are well-directed, it has top production values and the acting is not bad across the board. It's also fun to see James Marsden, Christine Taylor and Amy Smart in small roles before they hit it big. Also Glenn Quinn (who sadly ODd a number of years ago) headlines one segment. So the movie was (for me) ridiculously predictable...but the direction, production and acting kept me interested. Worth a look. Much better than the "Urban Legends" movies. I give it a 6.
