CodyZamboni Z Cheap looking, would be slasher pic, But with a bit more imagination. I was surprised how clever this was. With some actual suspense, I enjoyed the ending reveal.

This movie is great, really surprised me at the end Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Farah R For a film released during the height of its genre, April Fool's Day puts an ingenious twist on the formulaic aspects of its plot. The teenagers were played by great young actors who convincingly portrayed their characters with heart. The film didn't rely on gore, but opted for suspense and tension, which were more effective for making compelling kills. The ending was the best part, so be sure to sit for it all the way through.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review IrateTyrant C For 80s Surprise Slashers, SLEEPAWAY CAMP and This! How do you write a review for this movie without giving away too many spoilers and still make somebody want to watch it? It starts with an ahead-of-its-time meta scene. Then, it gets into some crazy pranks by the characters. You might start by thinking "oh, bad acting", but you get used to it pretty quickly. It's the 80s! Then, the slasher elements start creeping up. Predictable victims and offscreen kills. Even though it may seem like a run-of-the-mill slasher, you'll have to admit, it's a fun one. It was directed by the guy who did When a Stranger Calls but is surprisingly somehow much more interesting and entertaining. It was written, however, by the guy who did Beverly Hills Cop. If nothing else tips you off that this is going to be different, that should. Truly, hats off. Ya got me! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Justin T The most disappointing thing about this slasher is the ending. The ending really ruins what could have been an average eighties horror movie. They managed to lose all their credibility by changing their mind about most of the movie. It is an unbelievably frustrating movie as none of it is real. The tension builds and subsides without any real fear. It could have been a lot worse though. It was relatively well made and it was never boring. It felt like a Miss Marple mystery with added violence. Fine to watch however April Fool's Day if you can accept the ending. A murder mystery and not a slasher, bit of a joke really. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
