Garbage Day: April Fools Day (2008)

Encompasses everything we have come to hate about remakes. Unwatchable. Unlike the majority of horror nazis, I am a huge fan of the original April Fools Day, which was original, smart, and funny. The remake lacks everything that made the original entertaining, with a made for tv feel perpetuated by cardboard 30yr-olds-trying-to-be-teen actors and a new twist (if you can make it to the end) that is forced and contrived. It is nostalgic of the 80s grindhouse slashers only in the sense that it is absolutely unbearable, like trashy slashers The Forest or Sorority House Massacre. Save yourself, pass on this tragedy. A bunch of rich idiots mistakingly kill one of their friends during a failed prank, they get notes that someone knows about it, people die, yatta yatta, it ends at some point, then you snap the DVD in half.

Rating: 3/10.
