Melissa L Great whodunit, and pranks afoot! I DEFINITELY recommend it. Ignore the low ratings. These are the same people who voted up the freaky "Midsommar" movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review angela g this movie is not the best remake to 1980s slasher movie but it does not compare to the original Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review robert p Typical slasher film, fails to succeed to match the older movie! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ah, the 2000s, when every decent and not-so-decent slasher was remade. That means that even April Fool's Day could be made all over again by The Butcher Brothers (Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores), who had just made The Hamiltons. Desiree Cartier (Taylor Cole) is hosting a party for her actress Torrance Caldwell (Scout Taylor-Compton from the Rob Zombie Halloween movies) and has invited Blaine (Josh Henderson), the brother she dislikes along with U.S. Senate candidate Peter Welling and his beauty queen fiancee Barbie (Jennifer Siebel), her enemy Milan, videographer Ryan and society reporter Charles. During that April Fool's party, a prank leads to Milan suffering a seizure and falling off the balcony to her death, which ends with Blaine losing control of the family's fortune and Desiree becoming the executor. The death is ruled an accident. A year later, the group is invited to Milan's grave to watch a video of Charles being drowned. One of them killed Milan, a note states, and unless they confess, everyone will die. While the score is close to the original, the film just doesn't live up to the inspiration. But you knew that. It does have a nice giallo/Agatha Christie set-up. But it just doesn't seem to know what to do with the story once it gets going. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review R P When I first watched April Fool's Day 2008, I thought it was a remake, maybe a sequel. But it's not a remake. It's a sequel in that it deals with April Fool's Day, and a twist ending. None of the same actors or intent. But, it does have Scout Taylor-Compton in it.
