As soon as Muffy St. John and her college friends arrive on her parents' secluded island, someone starts trimming the guest list... one murder at a time.
Critics Sentiment
Kit and Rob realize Muffy has insane twin Buffy
Everyone alive reveals entire weekend was elaborate prank rehearsal
The reveal that everything was fake drops the score dramatically from 7.5 to 4.5 as many reviewers felt cheated by the twist ending
April Fool's Day starts moderately with typical slasher setup but builds genuine tension through the middle act as friends disappear and bodies pile up. The film peaks with clever plot twists about the twin sister, but the final revelation that everything was an elaborate prank divided audiences sharply, with many feeling the twist undermined their investment in the horror.
