There are bad movies and than there are baaaaad movies.

I remember this being pretty bad and very disappointing compared to the first film.

Does this have anything to do with the original?

I remember liking this more when it first came out. The ending is lame. But the end credit scene and nod to Hitchcock was stellar.

Uninspired dreck, Urban Legends: Final Cut has none of the wit or charisma of the original. The casting is fine and features Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Eva Mendes, and Anthony Anderson, but the story is crap. An art student working on her thesis film about urban legends finds that her crew is slowly being picked off one-by-one by a mysterious killer. The script is terrible, particularly the weak and uninteresting urban legends that it uses. And, the film itself is incredibly pretentious with all its metaphors about film. Urban Legends: Final Cut is a barely coherent film that has no real scares to it.
