Aside from tightening up the editing/pacing, my main goal here was to change original ending- creating something that feels conclusive & also builds a bridge into the sequels.

The 2009, all-new edit of the best horror film of the 80′s marks its 25th anniversary, and features 9 minutes of restored and digitally enhanced footage, new scenes, alternate takes, longer scenes, a different soundtrack and for the very first time, Johnny Depp’s fully uncut death scene fully re-edited into the film, the SPFX of Heather Langenkamp’s blue screen footage at last ‘finalized’, as well as Craven’s original ending the way he wanted it to be seen.
