Interesting facts

April Fool's Day is a 2008 American direct-to-video slasher film that is a remake of the 1986 film of the same name.

Production

April Fool's Day was directed by The Butcher Brothers, and the two also re-wrote the script for the remake of the 1986 film of the same name with Mikey Wigart. Picked up by Stage 6 Films for distribution, it was filmed in North Carolina under producers Tara L. Craig and Frank Mancuso Jr. Mancuso had also produced the original. Scout Taylor-Compton noted that the filmmakers planned to make April Fool's Day an R-rated film.

The film would retain most of the original's humor; however, Phil Flores said it is "pretty much contemporized, with off-beat humor, different settings -- something that would gel with today's audience". Mitchell Altieri noted that "it's kind of more a twisting and turning story" with "some really good scares".
