April Fool's Day Ratings & Reviews
Slasherpool
Andreas Samuelson
Compared to other similar 80s teen-flicks, this is a very fun and likable little film.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
I've seen this film before...as an episode of The Golden Girls.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A revolting teen slasher film from north of the border, that tries its darnedest to be witty.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
Even today, it holds up as a spooky, flirty entertainment, doing justice to the folly and mirth of its namesake holiday.
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.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
It's amazing how successful a slasher movie can be when you actually like the characters and they're all mostly fleshed out.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...familiar territory that is, for the most part, employed to hopelessly (and pervasively) underwhelming effect...
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
The suspense sequences are stylishly managed...
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
April Fool's Day is not the best slasher but is far from the worst. It's a clever and fresh take on not only an oversaturated genre but also an intriguing take on one of the most fool-hearted days of the year.

Classic horror cheese

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.
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.
Bloody Disgusting
Paul Lê
The film is an ingenious stab at satirical horror, made well before self-awareness was so widespread in the genre.
