Bloody April Fools
(better known as
Los Inocentes)
(2013) is a horror slasher from Spain that follows nine friends on their way to
an April Fool’s Day party but then get sidetracked.
They never make it to the party but instead
decide to stop at a nearby place called the 12 Hills inn that they soon learn
has a curse upon it.
Over the course of
the night each of the nine friends will be tested as the curse takes hold.
There is nothing remotely original in this straight forward
slasher film that actually would have fared better in the ‘80s during the
slasher boom but coming out now, the film is behind the times and not in the
least bit interesting even if it hails from Spain.
The film comes off as a typical slasher film
that could have at least used some cultural references to make it interesting.
The film has a list of over ten writers and directors and I’m
surprised with that many people involved that there wasn’t a better
result.
The film does start to pick up
towards the end but it comes a little too late.
This is a film not worth the time.
