April Fool's Day Ratings & Reviews
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
It's become a favorite of the sub-genre, and indicates a point where studios were beginning to satirize the tropes of the sub-genre.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Also in its favor is the fact that it's rather good natured about its mayhem, which is to say that its grisly parts are never of the unpleasantly sadistic variety. It's kind of fun. Just don't be expecting an overlooked masterpiece.
Dread Central
Anthony Arrigo
It had been a good 15 years or more since I last watched this film and it was great to see it not only holds up well but cleans up just as nicely, too.
Bloody Disgusting
Paul Lê
The film is an ingenious stab at satirical horror, made well before self-awareness was so widespread in the genre.
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
Even if it seems like it's cashing in on the name of a holiday, the story authentically honors the pranking nature of those traditions for a surprisingly effective slasher.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
The suspense sequences are stylishly managed...
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A revolting teen slasher film from north of the border, that tries its darnedest to be witty.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
One of the savviest examples of slasher film self-commentary in existence, beating Scream by a cool ten years and a half.

Dustin Putman
Even today, it holds up as a spooky, flirty entertainment, doing justice to the folly and mirth of its namesake holiday.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
I've seen this film before...as an episode of The Golden Girls.
Slasherpool
Andreas Samuelson
Compared to other similar 80s teen-flicks, this is a very fun and likable little film.

Scott Weinberg
There are much better 80's horror flicks to spend your money on, but April Fool's Day has enough jolts and twists to warrant a look.
