As a big fan of the out of order structure of Tarantino's scripts I always wanted to recreate his original vision of this film. But some deleted scenes play a big part in his version and they were only available in pretty low quality. The special edition Arrow released recently brought the scenes still in SD but upscaled to 1080p, so the blend with the official HD footage wouldn't look too jarring. And of course, Tarantino's original ending was reinstated, which I always preferred anyway.

I'm a big fan of Tim Krabbe's horror novel The Golden Egg and George Sluizer's 1988 movie adaptation Spoorloos. That shocking ending gave me nightmares for weeks. The 1993 American remake didn't work. The story is too blunt and tragic for the Hollywood standards, and to change that is to kill the most terrifying aspect of the film. I do think the US version has a lot going for it tho. Jeff Bridges is completely terrifying and Kiefer is a more likeable lead (which would make the character's fate even more painful to watch).

That's why I decided to recut the film, removing the dumb changes and preserving the essence of the story and its terrifying conclusion. I'm pretty sure it's been done before, but I decided to do my own version and share it with whoever might be interested.

My idea is to get rid of all the fake build ups/red herrings and dumb jump scares to turn the film into a more focused supernatural thriller. I also removed most of Bughuul's appearances and made its presence more subtle. I think the way the original cut overexposed the character made its figure less scary. Also rearranged a few scenes in a way that things would make more sense.

Now that we're getting close to 18 unseen hours of Twin Peaks, I've decided to release my extended edit of 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me', reintegrating some of my favorite deleted scenes back into the film. I know it's been done before but this edit only integrates scenes that IMO shouldn't have been cut in the first place. This is a very debatable topic among fans so I'm expecting a lot of disagreements, but anyway, this is a personal project of mine I've decided to share.

Removed all the unnecessary gore imposed by the studio and placed some scenes in their intended order to restore director Joe Berlinger's original vision. Also took some liberties and removed a few scenes that looked kind of cheap in my opinion. Because of the changes I had to move a few scenes around and trim down some others.
