Very best movie i ever watch
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Aprils fools day for me was really confusing,by the title you knew the deaths or something would be a joke completely predictable. I watched the movie the first time and thought it was boring and crap. But I watched it again,it premieres on sky only on April fools day so I watched it again and when I did,I really liked it but the ending was so confusing. SPOILER!! The ending turned out when the two final people walked into the dining room all there friends were alive and well,the two found out it was all a joke and get angry but soon think it's funny and have a laugh and some drinks,then a girl goes up stairs and is stabbed and that was a joke. Ehhhhh OK.. A bit weird and annoying but anyway. April fools day was a OK horror film but I don't know if I really liked it.
I think it's a shame that this particular film wasn't well received overall by the horror fans especially by the slasher fans because this was a horror treat in the best possible way. There's something to be said when you create any type of movie that actually is an original piece especially with everything being out there it's very hard to come up with something fresh and clever all at the same time. With this jewel of a horror classic I believe that was the case where everything came together perfectly. I thought the characters were well thought out and interesting. The balance of the film was superb where the first half it was all fun and games and very funny then the second half it got serious to where the hammer falls on you and sucks you back in saying don't forget this is a horror movie which I thought was brilliant. This wasn't an all-star cast some of the biggest names were Amy Steel who was in Friday The 13th part 2 who by the way was amazing as well as in this film then you had Thomas F. Wilson that played Biff in Back To the Future who also was great in both of these films. Deborah Foreman who played the lead character in this film also played the lead role in Valley Girl opposite A young Nic Cage who was great in this role as well. Clayton Rohner, and Deborah Goodrich played in Just One Of The Guys together who both did their parts very well. Ken Olandt which didn't make a big splash yet as far as big time roles he was just starting out in his career and Griffin O' Neal same scenario in that he hadn't done a whole lot yet in his career when this came out. I have to tell you that there were some great performances by everybody in this film ones that were funny lines like Clayton Rohner as Chaz was telling Jay Baker's character Harvey who was excellent in this film as well confronting him about an earlier incident that happened in the film Chaz says to Harvey "You were jumping around like your ass was on fire. That was a very funny line in the film as well as several others. There is this one scene in the film where all the friends are sitting at the table discussing what they were going to do with their lives after graduation I thought that Griffin O' Neal's character Skip should have been at the dinner table with them it would have made the scene that much better. I think that Griffin O' Neal did really well with his character and should have continue to act because personally I think he's a good actor. The last twenty minutes of the film will leave you on the edge of your seat just typing this out and thinking about it gives me goosebumps it was played out so brilliantly. You can laugh a little but it was very creepy and scary and well thought out. I think this holds well with the slasher genre it's just a fun, smart, suspenseful and scary movie period. At the end of the movie there is this wacky song on the soundtrack that's very out there. Some of the material could use some strengthening but overall pretty solid. One of the better horror movies in general. This could be very well in the top twenty in great horror movies of all time.
I watched this film after reading great reviews on here. I am a fan of horror, but i prefer modern horror which is probably a reason i disliked this film. I found it boring and not in the least bit scary. I also got confused which character was who, making it difficult for me to follow the storyline. I skipped some parts since nothing seemed to be happening. i have to admit i already saw the ending on a review here so wasn't surprised, but i would have been otherwise. It seemed an OK ending i guess, but nothing that totally wow-ed me and i don't think it was very realistic for me. Overall i disliked the movie, which was disappointing, but probably since i am use to watching modern horrors (like insidious) so this failed to grab my attention.
This is a pretty funny and unpredictable horror flick about a group of college students staying at a friend's remote island mansion during the April Fool's Day weekend and finding themselves falling victim to vicious crimes.The movie starts off very slow with the college kids just cracking each other up with cheesy, unfunny and crude sexual jokes while waiting for their ferry to taxi. But, the excitement slowly begins after they arrive at the mansion and the practical jokes and nefarious activities mount. This all leads to some suspense and thrills as the character leads investigate the mysterious events about the house, followed by the usual screams and thrills. The acting was cheesy at times but not bad for the most part, especially for lesser-known actors back in the day. The plot and story are well-written and unique in a way that is not like the usual, and sometimes predictable, slasher flicks. Red herrings and twists and turns in the plot will keep you engaged and the climax will be something that is unexpected.Overall, not a bad horror/slasher flick - definitely one of the more unique ones.Grade B-
