38 - April Fool's Day

    A bunch of college students go to an island home for a weekend, during which someone seems to be stalking them.
    I can give this movie credit for one thing in particular - it’s a horror movie that no other horror movie would dare to be.  Most of what makes this movie notable is the ending, which I’ll spoil here.  The twist at the end is that no one died - the whole thing is an elaborate prank.
    This does make the whole movie into one of the most TV-friendly horror movies I’ve ever known, and that includes made-for-TV horror movies.  There isn’t much blood or gore, and the stuff that’s there isn’t intense.  There are a good number of goofy pranks, like a chair that tips the sitter backward.
    The real highlight is seeing Tom Wilson in a lighthearted role.
