April Fool's Day

Which horror film’s plot twist completely changed the way you saw the entire movie? In this episode of The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we’re talking about April Fool’s Day (1986), a film that sets up a classic slasher scenario—only to pull the rug out from under the audience.

We’ll start with the cast and crew, share our initial thoughts, and dive into the big question: Did the film’s shocking twist undermine everything that came before it, or did its originality make it stand out from the typical 80s slasher?

Beyond that, we’re discussing meta horror—do we prefer films that are in on the joke, or should horror take itself more seriously? We’ll also break down some interesting facts about the film, give our ratings, and recommend a few other horror films.

And, of course, stick around until the end for an announcement about our next episode—you don’t want to miss it!
