Editing Details:
I tried to stay true to Steve Mirkovich's editing style from the original film. I didn't want anything to seem changed or altered at all.
This mostly meant sharp, quick cutting & trying to keep the energy high.

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.
All that said, this is my least favorite film in the series and there's only so many that RayDanger can fix. The ending made me less furious than the theatrical cut, but from the dull characters to the hairbrained plot, the dip in quality is severe. Still, for a series to start dipping this bad with installment EIGHT, that's an impressive feat.
