Antagony & Ecstasy

One of the savviest examples of slasher film self-commentary in existence, beating Scream by a cool ten years and a half.

Even today, it holds up as a spooky, flirty entertainment, doing justice to the folly and mirth of its namesake holiday.

Compared to other similar 80s teen-flicks, this is a very fun and likable little film.

There are much better 80's horror flicks to spend your money on, but April Fool's Day has enough jolts and twists to warrant a look.
