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.

Jason Goes to Hell was always an oddity - a Jason movie with very little Jason. For the most part, I've always had a soft spot for film, and RayDanger's edit helps to make the tone more mature, with a faster pace that honestly beats the rest of the series with its sheer ferocity towards the conclusion. I do miss certain Duke lines, but those are worth losing for a tighter viewing experience.
