April Fool's Day
Guess who's going to be the life of the party?
Directed by Fred Walton
Produced by YCTM, Hometown Films
A 1980s slasher that blends teen camaraderie with isolated-island murder mystery, leaning into paranoia and practical jokes as much as genuine threat.
On April Fool's Day weekend, a group of college friends gather together at a secluded island mansion to celebrate their final year of school, where they soon become prey for an unseen murderer.
