Customer Reviews

Creepy, clever fun.

Slasher films aren't generally regarded for their sense of logic. APRIL FOOL'S DAY takes the typical ... teens, bizarre killings, and oddly-costumed killer of the genre and adds some decent characterization and a plot filled with more twists than a corkscrew.The story focusses on a group of friends invited to an island mansion for the weekend. It's not long before an unseen killer starts picking them off one by one. Is it real, or just another prank on April Fool's day? Read the book and find out - provided you can find a copy.Jeff Rovin's wonderful prose digs into the characters' heads and slowly builds tension before a hair-raising climax that's only the beginning of the end. Several more chapters follow, adding a new twist to the story.Is the film good? Can't say. I haven't seen it. But the book reads like the teen thrillers of Cristopher Pike or R.L. Stine. So, if your a fan of thrillers, chillers, or just plain blood spillers, I'd definitely recommend a read.
