Bad acting, low budget, no storyline- my kind of movies!
I bought it generally for the movie April Fools. i had it on VHS or for the VCR. But this time around the movie lacked a little. Amy Steele was rockin. I wish she had done more movies. I don't think she ever went nude. She didn't need to. Anyways, their friend at the beginning gets his head smashed in between the boat deck and the boat and they all just go on like nothing happened. Most people would be traumatized for awhile after that.And Deborah Goodrich must have thought she was sexy at the time. It is just a cheesy 80s slasher film that probably had a low budget. Most of the actors are now nowhere to be found. The Graveyard Shift had substance to it. That is worth watching every once in awhile, although it's not one of King's best and Tales From the Dark side is okay, so all in all it was a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars SPOILER FREE REVIEW...and that's no April Fool's joke
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022

I grew up in the 80s, and have always been aware of this popular -- and reviled -- horror film, but somehow I never got around to seeing it. I don't know how this happened, but I finally took it upon myself to give it a go, and boy, am I glad I did. While I get the criticism leveled at it, I find most of it unconvincing. What matters most about a horror film is that it scares you, and this one scared me, at least when it got around to doing so.

The premise of APRIL FOOL'S DAY is very simple. It is essentially Agatha Christie's TEN LITTLE INDIANS in slasher form. A group of eight somewhat obnoxious college students on the cusp of graduation are invited out to a remote island to celebrate April Fool's Day by their wealthy friend Muffy St. John (Deborah Foreman), only to discover, once they are left at the house, that there is a maniacal killer among them, one who knows their deep dark secrets and seems intent on punishing them for it -- first psychologically, then physically. Under this pressure they soon collapse into distrust and paranoia while making frantic, futile efforts to get off the island. Meanwhile, as the killer continues to strike, a few more intrepid members of the gang follow clues which seem to point to their stalker's identity. But will it even matter, with time running out at the murderer getting ever more bold?

That's it. That's the plot of the movie. It may seem a little spare, but if I gave the nutshell treatment to FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH, CHILD'S PLAY, or even HALLOWEEN it would sound just as simplistic. The issue here is whether or not this knife hits what it's stabbing at.

So, to cases, by which I mean criticisms. APRIL FOOL'S DAY is a poorly paced film. It starts off fairly slowly. A lot of the dialog is pitched at the locker room level in a way that seems unrealistic given that these are no longer dumb freshmen but seniors ready to make their move on The Real World. And the characters are, with a few exceptions, the usual slasher-movie archetypes (the plucky girl, the slut, the dumb jock, the clown, etc.) and as a rule neither interesting nor terribly sympathetic. But the real bone of contention here is the ending, which of course I am not going to reveal. I will say that it is the sort of ending that would definitely strike many as ludicrous, and make APRIL FOOLS much less frightening upon rewatch. And I can't argue with either of those points, I just don't happen to think they spoil the flick. Quite the opposite in a way. By taking an unexpected turn, APRIL FOOLS avoids simply becoming yet another of the backbench, B team slasher contingent which crowded 80s theaters and were basically indistinguishable from one another.

On the plus side, in addition to Foreman, who had a short but very lively acting career and does fine work here, we get Thomas F. Wilson, who went on to play Biff in the BACK TO THE FUTURE series, and Amy Steel of FRIDAY THE 13TH fame; also Clayton Rohner, who can do a good bit with even small and poorly-written parts. Not saying anybody deserves an Oscar here, just that they do their jobs as best they can with the material at hand, and everybody who survives turns up their efforts to maximum for the climax. What's more, when things finally get moving about halfway through, they really move, with several of the kills making me jump pretty far off the couch, and the final confrontation sequence being a (very) minor masterpiece of escalating tension between the improbable murderer and would-be victims who act very realistically addled by the sight of a knife-weilding psycho bent on slaughter. I also liked that the "hints" the killer leaves about each person's past sins are not necessarily explained: in one case at least we are left to guess for ourselves what exactly the sinner did. That's a nice touch. FOOLS is not a realistic movie, in fact it stretches believability even further than most horror flicks, even supernatural ones; but I liked that both halves of the inevitable male-female hero duo are literally scared out of their wits and behave the way people in this situation probably would: poorly. And the ending-ending, too, pleased me somewhat, for providing a final jolt without departing from the spirit of the picture.

I realize I have spoken only in general terms here, but that is necessary to preserve the surprises such as they are. I can say that despite all of its many flaws, APRIL FOOLS DAY provides a much less gory, somewhat more clever approach to the problem of how to make the systematic slaughter of college co-eds entertaining to an audience. It gave me some jolts, and that, friends and neighbors, is no joke.

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2003

Finding an inexpensive copy of this DVD in the Amazon Market Place, I figured 'What the heck?' and picked it up. The movie begins with a familiar theme, a group of college kids on their way to an isolated location (queue foreboding music). Apparently this group was assembled by a common friend to spend the weekend at spacious house on an island whose only access is by ferry, which only runs during the week, so they are basically stuck there until Monday. Through the use of a video camera, we are introduced to the various guests and they seem like your typical group for an 80's horror movie.
After an eventful trip on the Ferry of Death, they arrive on the Island of Death, and are greeted by their Hostess of Death (sorry, I'll cut it out), Muffy St. John, played by Deborah Foreman, probably most recognizable as Julie from the 1983 movie Valley Girl. Muffy leads them to the secluded house, which is more like a mansion, and we find out that this house will be part of her inheritance when she turns 21. After a number of practical jokes, which Muffy set up, every turns in for the night, except for Skip, Muffy's cousin, who is still upset about an unpleasant event that happened on the ferry. Alone and visible drunk, he wanders down by the boathouse, ventures inside, and, as you can guess, the murderin' begins.
The next morning no one really seems to miss Skip (I know I didn't, as I thought he was kind of annoying), and a couple breaks off from the rest of the group and proceeds to go down by the boathouse to screw around. Their horizontal tango is cut short as the girl catches a glimpse of Skip's body floating under the boathouse, which, I guess, killed the mood as the couple goes running back to the house in a panic. Relating what happened, the dead body part, not the sex part, to the rest of the group, they think maybe Skip is pulling a prank, so a few of the guys go off searching for him in the woods around the house. This leads to another murder or two, which spoils the festivities altogehter.
After a few more murders, and a couple of revelations, the movie finally spills its' proverbial guts, and what appeared to be your typical slasher type movie shows itself as something else. Actually, I sort of caught on about halfway through. I'm no mental goliath, no Sherlockian powers of deduction here, but the clues were there, and I didn't have to strain too hard to get in on the 'know'. There were some pretty large plot holes, certain elements that didn't jibe, but it didn't ruin the movie. There was some suspense, but I was never really on the edge of my seat. Overall, a fun movie, but probably wouldn't hold up too well to repeated viewing. Nice wide screen presentation with good audio, but no extras.
Oh yeah, watch for the character of Rob near the end as he gets locked in a pantry closet and nearly starts crying and stuff as his girlfriend is being chased around the house and terrorized. As flimsy as that door was, I could have been out of there in like a minute with a kick or two. Heck, my old granny could have gotten out of there with relative ease. What a nitwit...or is it a witless nit? Whatever...

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021

This movie starts out like a normal 80s era slasher, or really any slasher since the formula hasn't really changed in my opinion, but while using the same plot devices and following the same format, it has a surprise ending that shows originality, creativity, and proves this movie is not just another dime a dozen cookie cutter 'cut off a bunch of teens and kill them off one by one' kind of film. In fact, there's a twist within a twist, and for all the years I've been watching horror films I was unable to guess either one. This is definitively worth a watch, and while I rarely watch a movie twice and slashers are among my least favorite, I'd make an exception for 'April Fool's Day'.

Week-end de terreur (April Fool's Day) est un film américano-canadien réalisé par Fred Walton sorti en 1986. Il demeure assez rare en édition DVD chez nous, et quasiment inexistant auparavant en édition Blu-ray de part le monde. Il y a quelques mois de cela shout factory aux usa a décidé de le sortir dans une édition collector avec pas mal de bonus exclusif. Comme a son habitude l'éditeur espagnol a repris le master shout factory, puis a repris les pistes son de l'ancien DVD européen, un coup de shaker et voilà !

Donc question qualité image, je vous laisse aller voir les nombreux tests de l'édition usa, question qualité son c'est ni plus ni moins que le DD 2.0 du DVD.
Aucun bonus repris de l'édition usa, je préviens, mise a part la bande annonce époque non restauré au format SD.
Concernant le reste, la VF est bien synchronisé sur l'image, on avait connu quelques déboires de l’éditeur il y a 2-3 ans de ça mais tout semble rouler de ce côté la depuis. Il y a quelques petites erreurs dans les sous-titres français par contre, pas dramatique cependant, genre parfois 2 mots collés par exemple, mais cela reste tout a fait compréhensible. Le boitier Blu-ray standard est de couleur noir, pas de fourreau. Une édition minimaliste mais intéressante au niveau du rapport qualité prix, reste a savoir si un éditeur Français le sortira dans le futur avec les bonus exclusifs shout vostfr en plus, seul réel argument qui pourrait vous dire d'attendre, mais pour les plus impatients cette édition resen fait le job largement.

I remember watching April Fools Day as a kid and loving its twist, it was something I had never seen before and its still cool today, but when you think about it it leaves you with some questions; most notably how elaborate it all is and how the killer managed to pull this all off.

It has a colourful cast of likeable characters with some recognizable faces that make it easier than the average horror flick to get attached to them and although it drags a bit in the middle overall April Fools Day is a fun slasher flick with one of the best twists in the genre, and if you are lucky enough to not have the movies twist spoiled for you I absolutely reccommend checking this movie out with zero knowledge going in; especially if you are a slasher fan.
