April Fool's Day (1986)
 

what do you think about this movie :D

Good film,loved it...it was about a group of kids that went to a private island,and got killed,right?
If that's the one-I loved it.

right ;) :o

but in the first 36 minutes nothing is happening :( it is so boring
and twist :D is so strange :eek:

the same girl thjat plays in that movie also plays in friday the 13th part 2

worth ONE look

not a bad film, builds quite well when the acton starts but the ending was pants

I have the movie,bought a tape that had it allready recorded on it along with Halloween H20 and Villiage of the Damned .I have to say, i'm not too crazy about it really.But you gotta admit 1 thing unique about it.Its the only "horror"movie i know with a 0 body count.(not saying thats a good thing..just unique)or....hmm..are there others?..if so..what f**king good are they,dammit..lol:p :rolleyes:

Poltergiest, original Amitville.

Not so, the entire original family was massacred a year before the Lutz's moved in.

Right, forgot bout that.:o

no no big no no :o
guys

we are talking about slasher without any body dead... body counts ZERO

noooooow that is wery strange :D

...but...but...but

Hahaha

It's not faiirrrrrrr!!!

:( :( :(

Doesn't matter, that doesn't count for shit.

The only reason Poltergiest was good as it is because it was directed by Tobe Hooper. But what sucks about that is every time he would get just a little too creepy, Spielberg would step in and take over. That's why the movie seems to get creepy, then family-oriented, creepy, then family-oriented. Still a decent movie, though despite that. Haven't seen the remake of Amityville, but I suppose I'll wait for it to come to video.

damn straight
 

about speilberg..
his movies are getting damned annoying..especially his 'wanna be the best at making pan remakes or make a movie so my son can get credit b.s'..
/me mumbles..over zealous prick.

The one fella whose mind i would love to
explore is vincent price..
to me he reeks of insanity.

April Fools day is one of my favorite movies ever! I was sooooooooo mad when my roomate taped My Best Friends Wedding over it, Im still very Bitter :mad:

I was pissed at one of my friends for taping a lame ass reality show over my tape of Day Of The Dead when it aired late on one of the movie channels, with the gore intact. Kinda surprised me with that being how lame the movie channels are now regarding gore.

...bad deal :D

If you watch the likes of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet, don't pass on April Fool's Day. It's just as campy a horror film. Watching that as a child, I was so fascinated with the kitchen knife with the retractable blade.

So that's what it was! I couldn't really make up my mind about Poltergeist because there are scenes that are truly creepy but then the "family" theme comes out, which I think ruins the entire film.

That reminds me of Michele Soavi's La Chiesa. The horror aspect which is evident in his Stagefright and Dellamorte Dellamore was completely sabotaged with ridiculous plot twists, dialogue, and death scenes. Dario Argento's name was part of the credits. Surprise, surprise.

He is price-less! Pit & the Pendulum, Conquerer Worm ring any bells? :)

Could you imagine if Tobe Hooper had full control to direct the entire film without Spielberg butting in? That would've made Poltergiest an instant classic. :) Tobe would've most likely had the direction going almost past the boundaraies of the PG rating. ;)

"Too bad you're whacko
(Whacko)
How sad your marbles are gone
(All gone)
We could be dancing 'til dawn
But you're too weird for words"

Every time I think of this movie, I start singing the Jerry Whitman song from the end credits. lol

Also, does anyone know whatever happened to Deborah Foreman (Muffy/Buffy)? I remember her in exactly this movie and Valley Girl then that's the last I know of her. I'm going to have to look her up.

Have this on a DVD with MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1981). Not a bad film, but similar in tone to a lot of the horror franchises at the time.

Haha

Me too.

Too bad you're crazy
Too bad you're loony as hell

::big grin::

I always like this movie, even with the odd ending. :danger:

It was okay. I like a good twist to an ending of a movie; predictable just isn't as fun.

I liked April Fool's Day. I have to say, though... If my friend's played an April Fool's joke like that on me? Yeah, there would be a body count. haha

standard salsher with twist ending

summer camp anyone!!!!!!!!!!
