April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day (1986) is an American horror film directed by Fred Walton — watch it online on iFILM. College student Muffy St. John invites eight friends to spend the weekend at her family's remote island estate, reachable only by ferry. The house is stocked with pranks, because it's the first of April and Muffy has a sense of humor.

Then the guests start disappearing. One at a time. Deborah Foreman and Amy Steel lead a cast that the film uses shrewdly, subverting slasher formula at every turn. Walton plays with audience expectations as deliberately as Muffy plays with her guests — and the ending earns its reputation for pulling the rug out. Stream April Fool's Day (1986) on iFILM.
