Resumen

Este artículo examina la película April Fool's Day (Fred Walton, Estados Unidos, 1986), que forma parte del primer ciclo de películas slasher estrenadas principalmente en Estados Unidos y Canadá en los años 1980 y dirigidas a un público joven. Nuestro análisis se esforzará por resaltar un componente que distingue April Fool's Day dentro del ciclo, que es su aspecto de farsa y, por lo tanto, autorreflexivo y crítico, prediciendo las sátiras slasher que pasarían a primer plano desde finales de los años 1990 en adelante. Abordaremos debates sobre el cine slasher y el encuadre de este subgénero en la tradición del terror como espectáculo de shock, particularmente desde la herencia del Théatre du Grand Guignol.
