An Outstanding Remake, 17 February 2009
10/10
Author: kyleallen_9 from United States

April Fool's Day is one of the better remakes that I've seen in the past year. This flick pretty much is a suspense thriller, rather than the average slasher flick. Yeah this movie had blood, sex and alcohol abuse, but it delivers a good message and thats because you are rich, doesn't mean you can get away with murder. This proves to be true when a nasty April fool's day prank backfires and a innocent teen is dead. One year later on their friend's anniversary, those Taylor Cole(WWE's upcoming 12 Rounds and Summerland), Josh Henderson(90210 and Step Up) and Scout Taylor Compton(Rob Zombie's Halloween and Wicked Little Things) and four of their friends who were involved with the accident, begin to die one by one at the hands of a mysterious killer. When you are watching this movie, you get to see the characters wonder if it is really happening, or just a cruel April Fool's Day joke. You'll have to check it to see. I definitely recommend it!
