My boyfriend and I have been on this wave the last week, just rewatching or watching 90s/early 2000s horrors and thrillers, and this one landed on our list.
It's important going into these movies not expecting today's standards and accepting them for what they are. With that in mind the movies are so enjoyable, and this was no exception.
The film had an interesting and dark enough premise, and althought it is a little all over the place in terms of storytelling and there's very little character delevopment, it's a good romp and kept me guessing. I also highly enjoyed the ending, so I would recommend it for a fun time where you don't need a 2 hour long 8. something rating on IMDB.
Oh, and this is an early 2000 galore fest, which I highly enjoyed.

Stylish and kept me intrigued
Excellent
This movie is totally awesome. I rented it expecting nothing but a teenager thriller like "Urban Legend" and it eventually revealed itself as an excellent film.
The acting is very good, Derrick Webb has such a villain vibe that I thought his character really killed Naomi. The directing is well done, along with a tense and entertaining atmosphere. The story is quite original with an unpredictable progression. The ending is absolutely unexpected, I don't remember the last film that had such great twist in the end. I just don't understand how "Gossip" is so unknown on IMDb and low rated, but I surely recommend this to everyone.
Simply not appreciated
A vicious rumour is spreading like fire through the university, three journalism students planted the story, hoping to trace how it changes as it burns its path; but what goes around comes around.
With a young and talented cast, including James Marsden, Lena Heady, Norman Reedus and Kate Hudson; Gossip deserves more credit than it seems to have received.
The story is full of twists and is genuinely compelling to watch and easy to relate too; the direction is pretty stylish and achieves the necessary feel for the plot to play out, and the cast all contribute with solid performances.
It's either been overlooked or harshly criticised by far too many people, come on! It's a good thriller. 7/10
