April Fool's Day

[rhett]

Well folks, its that time again. For me, its a time of pulling pranks on friends and then staying up late watching one of the best slashers out there, April Fool's Day. Is anyone else going to indulge in this overlooked gem on this day of trickery?

[mcchrist]

I very well might do it. I dunno what's going on later though.

[Hellbilly]

I might give AFD a spin today :)

[moogong]

I have to work so I have no dvd time today. I will celebrate by fucking with people in my office though. :D :D

[satan x]

Not that you need an excuse to watch a good movie, but what better time to enjoy the delights of AFD, I know what i'm doing tonight.:D

[Latency]

Of course Rhett. I have been planning the viewing of AFD all week :) What time you gonna watch it ? I think we should all pop it in at the same time, then give our thoughts in the forum afterwards. Sound cool ?

[Zodiac-Mindwarp]

:eek1: :lol: Same here. :D ;)

I'll probably throw in a double feature of Contamination and House On The The Of The Park later on tonight. :D

[Suicide]

That's not a bad idea. I haven't seen the movie since I got the DVD a couple months ago. I gotta finish watching Harry Potter 2 first though, that's one hella long fucking movie. I got 2-hours into it last night, still got like 40 minutes left in it.

By the way thrash, isn't it House of the Park on the Edge, or Edge of the House on the Park, or something like that?:D

[KillerCannabis]

I think I'll call my mom and tell her I got sent to jail. That's always a good joke for this time of year.

[Latency]

This is my prank for my forum :)

it's an inside joke for Final Fantasy players :)

[rhett]

I wont be spinning AFD, I'll be popping it in my VCR. I don't have the DVD...yet. :) Still though, should be good fun. I am going to be watching extra close at some scenes to see if there is any hint at the ending, etc., etc.

I just got done watching it again. If you like 80's slasher movies, you should like this one. Don't go looking for a lot of gore, but it's definitely fun.

[Latency]

Spinning it right now. It 8:00PM MST and it's nice and dark here. :) see you guys in 2 hours.

[Nemesis]

1:47pm on wed 2nd of april so not a good time for horror right now:) Think ill have to give this film a watch, ta for the advice wolf man

[rhett]

April Fool's Day is great...one of the more clever slashers of the 80's. Definitely check it out Nemesis, but make sure you don't read up too much on it!

[Nemesis]

hmm... the australian release appears to be a few minutes shorter... i wonder if its been cut.. but you guys say its not very gorey so maybe its not cut

That'd probably just be due to the differences between the PAL and NTSC video systems. I'd be very surprised if the R4 AFD was cut - I picked it up for under $20AUS at K-Mart and it was well worth it!

[Nemesis]

damn, i shoulda ordered it from ezydvd.com.au then.. it was only 24.95... i ended up picking up

1 x Lair Of The White Worm @ $9.95 (In stock now - Ships Immediately)
1 x Serpent And The Rainbow @ $6.95 (In stock now - Ships Immediately)
1 x Waxwork @ $9.95 (In stock now - Ships Immediately)

how cheap is that? thats like US$16 for 3 movies! free shipping tho so its all good! :)

[Latency]

Well, have to say Friday the 13th: Part 7 (cough) , I mean April Fools Day was great. Sure not alot of gore but a fun cast of actors with a great ending. Rhett, you really must get the DVD. The image quality is super nice :)

[rhett]

Was this the first time you'd seen it Latency? I love all the Agathy Christie referenes in the film too, very cool. I plan on picking up the DVD very shortly!

[Latency]

Basically yes. I first saw it at a very young age.

I know nothing about Agatha Christie :( Shucks

I felt like I was watching a Friday the 13th film a few times. The music and filming is very very similar. Thats all I picked up from it. Loved the humor too. That big dumb blonde guy kicked ass :)

[WesReviews]

Yes, the DVD is a must-have. For those who have only seen the film on VHS all these years, the DVD is in the film's original aspect ratio of 2:35:1 and looks incredible.
