Summary: Avrage slasher with a great ending (note would give it 3.5)
Review: Muffy was born on April Fools Day, for her 18th birthday she desides to invite a few frinds over to her house that is on an island. Muffy has loads of april fools pranks get up everywhere over her huge house. The next day her friends seem to be going missing, is it just April Fools jokes or is there something more sinister at work. April Fools Day is a fun slasher film made by the people of Friday The 13th Part 1-6. The movie is fun and it is one of those must see twice movies. The ending is actully quite good I enjoyed the whole movie but it's nothing compleatly special just something worth getting and watching it twice. The gore in this movie is not bad, it's a gory enough movie but this one is more about story line then violence.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT SCARY
Review: TRIES TO BE LIKE FRIDAY THE 13TH ONLY ON APRIL FOOLS DAY. THE ENDING IS A SURPRISE. GOOD FOR A LAUGH. SEEMS TO BE LOW-BUDGET MOVIE WITH IT'S LOW BUDGET SPECIAL EFFECTS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprising.
Review: I am a pretty jaded horror fan and when it comes to slashers i thought i'd seen it all. But this very underrated slasher has made me think twice, just as scream did three years ago. This being 12 years older than Scream though, I'd say this was very ahead of its time. Slightly tongue in cheek, while still remaining tense and interesting, this is one of those rare B movies which is actually inspired filmmaking. Alot of fun, and not exploitative like the majority of its kin. Recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's "Friday the 13th" Meets "Porky's"
Review: This film is funny, but it is also scary. I would say that it is a black comedy, but black comedies make death and violence funny. This film does not. It is very funny, but when the death count starts adding up, I promise you won't be laughing. It is kind of like "Scream" in the way it makes you laugh, then makes you scream. But, this is much funnier than "Scream" or any other modern horror flick. It is very obvious that this film was made during the slasher period with films like "Halloween" & "Friday the 13th". But, what sets it apart is the comedy added inbetween, and the very surprise ending that comes at the end. I guarantee that it will shock you completely.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A witty suspense movie that keeps you guessing
Review: Under the guise that it is just another 80s teen slasher movie, this one strays from the formula. Not too gory, and keeps you guessing until the very end while being just cheesy enough to satisfy. The title makes it a bit predictable, but it's still a fun movie. Watch it just to check out the killer 80s hair and clothing alone. Deborah Foreman was great, but this movie could have used more scenes involving Clayton Rohner! (just my opinion) Otherwise, an awesome movie I could watch again and again. If you like it, you should also check out Student Bodies(1981).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the best plots ever
Review: It appears to be another one of those college cut up movies. A college girl invites her friends over to spend a weekend at her home on an island and everything starts out just fine... at least until her friends start disappearing or apparently being found cut up in pieces, then everyone starts accusing the other of being the murderer and all they want to do is leave the island, which proves to be easier said than done. bone chilling, spine tingling suspense and horror. Who done it? will anyone figure it out? will anyone live to tell the story of all the Ghastly events that went on in the house? Get the movie and see for yourself. Is the girl of the house insane? or is it one of her friends? If you like a good plot, you must see the surprising ending to this unique film. Strong language, but not as extreme as is the case for most suspense movies today and only one actual steamy scene, but not exactly over graphic. In fact the scene is only a few seconds in length. This is another one to watch with a lover on Halloween night, or even with a group of friends. Five stars is not enough for April Fools day. It deserves many more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: April Fool's Day (1986)
Review: April Fool's Day is definatley an 80's horror movie. It featured so many of the cliches that nearlly every horror movie made in that period has. However, Deborah Foreman and Amy Steel (she also did an wonderful job in Friday the 13th: Part 2 -1981-). Deborah Foreman performed very well and had me convinced with every line she said. Amy Steel was also superb in showing her terror as she found out the what was going on. She also manajed to keep her wits and show she was running for her life at the same time. The actors did well for standard 80's horror movie acting. The special thing about this movie was the shocking twist it features. I thought the idea was very original too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great movie!
Review: There are very few cool movies with so many twists and turns, but this one satisfies with numerous surprises. The comedy is 80s-ish, but I love it anyway. Plus, Amy Steel turns in another stellar performance!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cool 80s Teen Flick
Review: I liked this movie simply because I love Deborah Foreman...she's been in some real crap but this is one of her better flicks (Valley Girl is the other flick really worth seeing). AFD really captured the spirit of the BIG EIGHTIES and if you have yet to see the movie and you were a teen back then SEE IT (and watch Porky's while you're at it)!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK if you're looking for a bad horror movie
Review: this was ok. my friend and i are on a big bad horror movie kick and way got this. It was pretty bad. But it was better than we expected. Oh and the girl who played Muffy's pretty cool. She was in Wax Works. That was a good movie.
