A Nightmare on Friday the 13th

I got this movie 20 years ago on VHS as a gift when i was 14 and it was my introduction to both franchises, So this film holds a special place with me. Watching this edit felt like i was watching a brand new film, and i absolutely loved it. Flawless editing, new visual looks & sounds. Knowing this film by heart, i knew what was added & taken away and by god it works 100%. I had fun with this movie, and like i said while the original holds a special place with me, i can safely say i prefer this version of the film. And i would watch it again. Amazing job!

This edit really worked for me. It does a great job of doing what it intended to do. The addition of music and editing to make it feel more like a Friday film was on par. It even managed to make it feel like a true nightmare movie as well. The editor did a great job on both angles to achieve, in my opinion, how it should’ve felt from the beginning. Nothing major was cut, but the trims really made it all happen. The video quality upgrades were beautiful. I also enjoyed some of the additions of deleted scenes. I feel they fit well into this edit. I would call this my shelf replacement for the film. Very well done. This is what a fan edit is supposed to do.

Freddy Vs. Jason holds a special place in my heart. It was the first 18 rated film I saw in the cinema, and I had such a love for the NOES series that I just had to experience this on the big screen!

I know this film has flaws and it wasn't to every ones tastes, but I enjoyed it for what it was, 90 minutes of switching off my brain and enjoying what was on the screen.

Then I found this fanfix and it peaked my curiosity... And I have to say, I am glad that it did! Gone are the goofy one liners and awful dialogue! The movie flows really well with the added/removed scenes too! The colour grading of the boiler room scenes was actually incredible, it really felt authentic to the original franchises rather than the over saturated scenes in the theatrical cut!

It even had me questioning whether I remembered the movie correctly! I remember seeing Jason's eye at the end when he sinks into the Lake, but I didn't see it in this one... and then I read the changes and realised this had been fixed... it was incredible that this much love had gone into it, and how professional it looked!

This is now going to be my go to version to watch of this movie, it flow, looks incredible, sounds incredible, and really turned one of my guilty pleasures into a movie more representative of its franchises.

If you like Freddy Vs. Jason, then definitely give this a watch. If you didn't like it.. then also definitely give this a watch as it may just change your mind about the film entirely!

10/10

I really enjoyed this edit as all the cuts, trims and deleted scenes are perfectly incorporated in the movie and nothing seems out of place, I liked the added original scores and also the use of flashbacks from previous Friday the 13th films, instead of the awful CGI morphing camp counselors. This was executed superbly and you wouldn't even know that it wasn't part of the original film in the first place. Quality wise, everything is spot on and the visual edits and audio edits are perfect, as one would expect from a skilled editor like yourself. I have to say that I really enjoyed this edit and it will be my go to version of Freddy vs Jason in the future. A truly great edit that takes a very dated and flawed film and brings a lot more quality into it and I highly recommend for fans of either franchise or horror in general.

Although I am a fan of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and having seen all Freddy's movies, I didn't see "Freddy vs. Jason" upon release due to the bad critics. I almost forgot about the movie, but after discovering The Butcher's cut I decided to give it a chance, hoping for a cut mending all the not so good moments of the original movie.

As a first time watch, I think it was really good. I couldn't find anything out of place. After the movie finished, I looked at the changes made and did a quick look at the original version to compare, and saw big differences. The opening sequence, the goofy CGI removed, the OST, the recolor of some scenes... everything was so much better than the original making an enjoyable cut of a so and so movie.

I would have kept some of the sassy comments by Freddy though. I think he should say "bitch" so much more, but that is just my opinion.

Thank you for letting me see your cut!

Audio/Video Quality: 10
Awesome quality and two different versions 10gb and 20gb. I saw the latter and it was flawless.

Visual Editing: 10
The film looks so much better without the goofy CGI and some weird choices of scenes that have been cut from the edit leaving a cleaner version. All the cuts, trims and deleted scenes are perfectly incorporated in the movie and nothing seems out of place.

Audio Editing: 10
Perfect too, especially the change in some parts incorporating the original scores from the classics.

Narrative: 10
Well structured. Not a single complaint.

Enjoyment: 10
I really enjoyed the movie for what it is, a mindless slasher. That is what is was looking for, and looking at the changes I feel it is much better than the original.
