April Fools!


April Fool's Day (1986) : An American slasher film released in 1986 byParamount Pictures. It was directed by Fred Walton and the screenplay by Danilo Bach. Filmed in British Columbia, Canada starring Deborah Foreman, Jay Baker, Deborah Goodrich, Ken Olandt, Griffin O'Neal, Leah Pinsent, Clayton Rohner, Amy Steel, and Thomas F. Wilson. The budget was about $5,000,000 and grossed around $13,000,000, released in the U.S. on 1,202 screens and made a little under $3,500,000 in the first weekend. A straight-to-DVD remake was released in March 2008 which I am not a fan of. The original script had a different ending and there is also an alternate ending as well (I would tell you more about them but I don't wanna give anything away if you haven't seen it). Also there are two references to Friday the 13th Part 2.
   A group of eight college friends gather together at an island mansion belonging to heiress Muffy St. John to celebrate their final year of school. They soon discover that each has a hidden secret from their past which is revealed, and soon after, they turn up dead. Yet, are they really dead? Or is it just part of some very real and cruel April Fool's jokes? The hostess, Muffy, is the only one who apparently knows what's going on. But then again, is it really her doing the killing?
  This is the perfect movie for a night like this!!!
