April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day (1986) primarily elicits **Surprise** and **Confusion** due to its central mystery and the constant questioning of whether the apparent deaths are real or part of a cruel prank. This drives strong **Anticipation** and **Curiosity** as the audience tries to unravel the truth. Upon the film's famous twist ending, significant **Relief** and a sense of dark **Humor** emerge, alongside **Satisfaction** from the cleverness of the elaborate deception. While initially generating some **Anxiety** and mild **Fear** typical of a slasher, these are ultimately subverted by the plot's unique resolution.
