Here it is, the incomprehensibly lame and boring cover art for APRIL FOOL’S DAY – the remake no one wanted or cares about! Sorry, I’m a bit testy, I’ve got a cold I can’t shake, but really take a look at this. Is this the late-90s? Are we still suffering from SCREAM/I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER-itis? Because that would be the only explanation for something this tepidly bland and unimaginative.
Each April Fool’s Day, fabulously wealthy young Desiree Cartier (Taylor Cole) hosts the most killer coming-out parties at her to-die-for southern mansion. And this social event is never complete without one of her patented pranks. But when this year’s joke turns deadly, Desiree, her brother Blaine (Josh Henderson) and five of their friends all become the targets of a twisted killer who begins hunting them down one by one in this chilling tale of seduction, betrayal and revenge.
The film was directed by The Butcher Brothers (Mitch Altieri and Phil Flores), who made the well-received THE HAMILTONS, so maybe there will be something to this, but let’s be honest – would YOU pick up a DVD that looked like that? No. (voice deepens, ominous music hums in the background) You wouldn’t….
Oh, and by the way, the flick hits shelves on March 25.
