Spoiler Alert!!! This movie is a horrible remake and I'm glad it isn't really even mentioned now a days. The plot is a basic retell of the original just not as fun and more boring. The kills in this movie are very poorly done and it's quite obvious they didn't die as they were said to have died. I mean seriously the only deaths you really see are Carl's and Blaine. This movie is so horrible I threw it out the day after I watched it and thank god! I'm so glad I got that turd off of my hands. This film shouldn't even exist I mean even the twist was obvious. The writers couldn't do anything but butcher a classic movie. Please stay away at all costs. This rating should be anything below a 2. It really is that terrible and it just makes me want to gouge my eyes out. This is one of the worst remakes I have ever had the unpleasurable experience of watching.

This movie is a horrible waste of time.It's slow as molasses.It's directed like a soft core porn film you'd see after hours on Cinemax. And I don't mean that it has abundant nudity. It just has that feel.The settings are opulent. The main woman is always dressed to the nines. And everyone is a poseur.The problem with the film is it goes no where. There is not real plot development. The characters are thinly drawn.You get very bored very early on.Not worth it.The plot:The new "April Fool's" revolves around a party given by two rich siblings for their friend. Tragedy strikes when a friend falls over a balcony and dies. One year later, the teens responsible for the accident become the targets of a twisted killer who begins hunting them down one by one.

This new version of APRIL FOOL'S DAY is not really a remake of the 1986 original movie. In fact it's far away from that! The main idea is inspired in the 1986 film but apart from that we cannot say it's a remake. Many, many things are different. The plot is different, the characters are different, the scenario either, the film's message too. In common they just have the final twist and some other little details.I think this movie was more suspenseful than the original but it's even more clichéd! Aside from the final twist, which was pretty original and unexpected (at least for me!), the first APRIL FOOL'S DAY was very clichéd about the way characters died and about other details of the plot, presenting us some typical clichés of the 80's Horror movies. But this new version is even worse about clichés! It has plenty of the 90's horror movies clichés for sure! One clear example is that "I know what you did last..." kind of plot! At parts I thought I was watching "I know what you did last April the 1st" or something! But what I found more curious was this kind of combination between I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and CRUEL INTENTIONS! Yes, it seems to have the plot of "Last Summer" with the "Cruel Intentions" characters and message!So, originality, this film have none! I score it 4/10 for the suspense and some entertainment!

I watched this movie last night and I found it to be actually pretty good.I never saw the original movie back from like 1987.The movie is about a group of people who have a party celebrating someone coming into their rich circle of friends. The female of the estate that these people are partying on wants to humiliate someone, so she has her brother slip her rohypnol (roofies) and take her to his room and attempt to sleep together. She ends up having an adverse reaction and falls off of the balcony and dies. A year later, about 6 of the people from the group (including the brother and sister) are to meet at the grave of the dead girl. They receive a note about how the dead girl wants the person who killed her to come forth. That's when hell ensues and people start dying...I thought it was a really good plot and I'll watch this movie again :)
