April Fool's Day (2008 Video)
5/10
Not too bad

Warning: Spoilers
Although a 1986 film has the same title, this is a totally different film. A group of South Carolina society types decide to play a trick on a friend who has left their group to do charitable work. They are going to film her having sex and post it on the internet. Except one of them has slipped her the dreaded Roofie and she dies as a result.

A year passes, and the friends all get a note informing them that they will be killed one at a time unless the guilty party confesses. The group leader, Desiree, who used the incident to wrest control of the family trust from her brother, rushes from murder scene to murder scene, only to find the killer picks off one of her friends at a time.

Except, of course, it's all an April Fool's Prank to get her to confess.

The twist ending is that in demonstrating the "blanks" in the gun, a real bullet is inserted and kills Desiree. Wooo, her brother had the last laugh, I guess.

Not a great plot, but okay acting and some funny dialog, so I gave it a higher rating than normal for such tripe.
