April Fool's Day (Ws Sub)

Amazon.com

What looks like a standard 1980s holiday-themed slasher movie turns out to be a much more witty venture. A group of college students head out for a weekend of relaxation and April Fools' pranks at an isolated island cottage, catching the very last ferry until Monday morning. A practical joke goes awry, hostess Muffy starts tromping around in frumpy clothes and acting like she's not quite herself, and the bodies start piling up. Don't you just hate it when you're on a completely remote island and the phone goes out? All of this is done, though, with a fairly low gore content and a sly wink at the usual slasher conventions--rather than whodunit, the trick is to figure out what's in good fun and what's real bloodletting. It ain't Citizen Kane, but it's not a bad evening's enjoyment either. --Ali Davis

April Fools Day.......2007-09-16

This movie was scary and freakish, however it turns out to be a demented joke.
No one dies, everyone still lived.
The island did remind me the horror movie Superstition.

A fun "Alternative" slasher movie that brings big laughs and a few chills.......2007-08-16

While not great, this 80's "Alternative" slasher movie/mystery( look to the title and watch the movie to understand this) is one funny ride. The usual 28 year old "collage" students gather on an island of one of the "rich girls" for the weekend and get killed one by one. The last 10 mins. are just great. Like I said a "cut" above most slasher movies.

A deadly prank.......2007-06-30

Ok, I won't give away it's secret here, but this is one prank that turned deadly or did it? It is a very fun horror, who done it flick of the 80s. I thought that it was done very well and you were not expecting the ending at all. When the ending did unfold, you were sitting there thinking "hugh?" and then started laughing. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that really likes "twisted endings" in horror movies.

Based on the title of this film you would probably know what this film's about........2007-03-21

April fool's day was a comedy slasher flick that I thought was average, the budget for this film was decent enough and the acting was very good however the problem is that the ending was so predictable and a bit dissapointing but still if you enjoy watching 80's slasher flicks that have a bit of suspence and some comedy than you might like this. When Muffy St. John invited her college friends over to her parents secluded island home for the time of their lives, she forgot to tell them that it might be the last day of their lives. There are some twists that happen during the course of the film and it does keep things interesting but like I said the ending ruined it there was a bit of violence but no gore so some people might be dissapointed, of course there were a lot of better slasher flicks released during the 80's but April fool's day wasn't to bad.

WHO'S FOOLIN WHO.......2006-11-10

Credit has to go to the people behind APRIL FOOL'S DAY. Eschewing the typical slasher formula, the movie plays like an update of TEN LITTLE INDIANS. A group of college students are invited to Muffy St. John's island getaway for a weekend of fun and foolishness. The writers set up the fact that there are some practical jokers amongst them, so when real murders start, the viewer has to wonder if they aren't jokes, but they seem too real for the frightened crew, and hostess Muffy has started to act like she's missing a few raisins in her muffin. Although it starts a little slowly, once it picks up, it has some neat suspenseful moments and a predictable but enjoyable climax. Deborah Foreman, Ken Olandt, Amy Steel, Jay Baker, Clayton Rohner and Griffin O'Neal head the cast, and it's fun for a change of pace slasher/suspense flick.
