Loose remake of the 1986 film starts at an April fool's day party where wealthy spoiled Desiree Cartier (Cole) has a prank backfire resulting in someone's death. A year later the people responsible for the death are being hunted on April fool's day and meet ghastly ends. Since all the characters are rich asshole snobs we could care less if they die. It takes a while to get going so strike two. All though competently made, the film has no flow or style to it at all. Add to it the scares are by the numbers and rather uninspired so scares are out of the question. Strike three! The original wasn't anything to get excited about and this one barely resembles it but the film makers and writers obviously couldn't find anything fresh to do with this. Even with all the twists at the end, this movie fails to entertain or scare and the twists can be guessed pretty easily. Makes you wonder why they even bothered.
