April Fools Day (2008)

April Fool’s Day is a 2008 American direct-to-video slasher film remake of the 1986 film of the same name. It is directed by The Butcher Brothers, also known as Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores. April Fool’s Day is described by star Scout Taylor-Compton as “Mean Girls crossed with horror”, and was released straight to DVD on March 25, 2008. The film received negative reviews from critics and fans.

Not going to lie but the plot of this movie feels a lot like the horror video game “Until Dawn”. The basic premise is a group of friends get together, a prank goes horribly accidentally wrong. A year later the friends get together, but the group dynamic is off, and then someone starts playing pranks on the group again.

I honestly, couldn’t really be bothered to care too much about any of the characters as they all seemed very self-absorbed and just bad people in general, or rather people I would never associate with. It was interesting to see how the second half of the movie played out – if only to see how the characters were picked off one by one. But it’s not really worth any kind of re-watch.


My Rating: ★★
