I'm going to keep these reviews very brief as I'm reviewing numerous films in RayDanger's series -

First off, the Friday the 13th series is not top shelf cinema, but they are a fun set of films. RayDanger does a miraculous job of streamlining the entire series, providing a lovingly curated narrative that is more sensical that the ones that the original producers released.

It terms of visual tone, audio, and overall editing, the experience is greatly improved with greater emphasis on suspense throughout.

Part 6 was always a strong installment in my book, and RayDanger's cut helps to balance the film's tone, while maintaining the creative steam that has kept this slasher franchise longer with greater continuous enjoyment than any of its peers.

This was definitely my favorite fanedit of Ray Danger's Friday the 13th series. It improves a pretty good film to a great one. Tightly paced, removes cringy scenes... This was so much fun and greatly put together. Amazing job Ray!
