Ahead of its time...Loved this movie when it came out & love it now...the crying baby on the tape recorder was awesome, me & our friends picked up that little gem & would prank other friends by leaving it outside their window on a rainy night & such, a classic (wasn’t a whole lot to do in the 80’s)...ahh, good times....Score: 5/5

April Fools DayI enjoyed this movie for it's originality. Who'd ever think supporting actors from other 80's classics could make such an entertaining film!.Score: 5/5

Way ahead of its timeTypically lost in the muck of '80s holiday-themed slasher flicks, this little gem turns the clichés upside-down with a level of humor and irony that wouldn't be fully absorbed into the horror genre until the Scream flicks a decade later. Starring a variety of vaguely familiar "teens" from other '80s films (including Deborah Foreman from Valley Girl, Amy Steel from Friday the 13th Part II, Deborah Goodrich and Clayton Rohner from Just One of the Guys, and Thomas F. Wilson from the Back to the Future trilogy), some effort has been made to make all of the characters likable and to make the scares psychological rather than rely on cheap-looking gore. Most importantly, there is actually a script here, and ultimately it is the story that serves the film. Check it out if you always thought '80s slashers were more stupid than stylish..Score: 4/5

ClassicHorror movies were better then new ones just saying.Score: 5/5

This movie is a joke (don’t read for spoilers)This whole movie was revealed in the end to be a prank set up by the hostess and I was really upset. All the kills, the thrills, and the suspense was all for nothing! This movie is stupid and a joke!.Score: 1/5

What a great surprise!I have watched this now about five times and I love it. Great cast, story and direction. And what a great couple of surprises at the end. Won't spoil it. Deborah Foreman is particularly good. She is best known for Valley Girl. A forgotten classic that needs to be re-discovered..Score: 5/5

Nach erfolgreichem Abschluß des Studiums möchte die junge Muffy St.John im Haus ihrer Eltern den Spring Break (und gleichzeitig 1.April) feiern, nachdem sie die meisten das ganze Jahr nicht gesehen hat. Das Haus liegt auf einer Insel vor der Küste und kann nur durch eine Fähre erreicht werden. Nach der Anreise am Vortag wird die eigene Feier jedoch schon bald durch das Verschwinden eines Gastes getrübt und dessen Freundin Kit (Amy Steel) behauptet, seine Leiche gesehen zu haben, ohne daß diese aufzufinden wäre. Bald verschwinden die nächsten Gäste und die Gastgeberin scheint sich seltsamerweise auch noch darüber zu freuen? Geht ein Killer auf der Insel um und wer könnte es sein. Oder ist alles vielleicht nur ein großer, grober Aprilscherz? Ohne Verbindung zur Außenwelt nimmt die Panik zu.
