The title might lead you to think that it’s a complete light hearted flick suggesting some funny pranks played on friends, co-workers and practically everyone whom you know on an April fool’s day. But that’s not what the movie is about. Imagine on that day, a bunch of nine friends who spend their time in a mansion suddenly find each one dying mysteriously. Yeah, you’ve got it, it is a slasher movie. But, of course, the movie has comedy too, even when it gets taut at times.
Muffy played by Deborah Foreman, the richest of the lot, gets a mansion from her relative. She invites her nine friends to spend the April fool’s weekend. When everybody’s having fun, terror strikes. Few members are missing and some fatal accidents take place. The most admirable part of the movie is that the suspense is well maintained till the end of the movie. Then, there is also the sudden transformation of Muffy’s personality from a prankster to an odd girl sporting a catholic school girl sweater. Yet, throughout she’s entertaining and fun to watch.
As the film progresses, you are left with several questions until you reach the climax when you realize that the April Fool’s day joke has actually been played on us, the audience. It turns out to be real disappointing , perhaps alarming too.
