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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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.
