It's amazing how much a film can improve once you remove a bunch of pointless scenes.

This was a very enjoyable take on F13 #5. The first time I watched this movie I hated it, mainly because of the twist ending. But on further rewatches I have grown to like it. It's not in my Top 5 for the franchise, it's in the middle. This edit aims to move it along and cut down the lame side-characters, keeping the story focused on the main group of kids. I thought that was well done and the story never dragged for me.

I definitely recommend this if you're going to do a Friday the 13th marathon and you don't want to waste too much time with Part V (unless you're some Canadian in love with the original).

Hey Neg, thanks for giving this a view and glad to see you had fun with it.

It's funny how Part V has grown more fans over the years. I have to say that I have more fun watching it now, but I still think it could do with less kills (i.e. as you say, less lame characters), so hopefully this edit allows viewers to see a Part V which is more along the lines of the previous chapters. Cheers!

I liked this edit a lot, it cuts a lot of unnecessary deaths and focuses only on the people at the clinic. With a trimmed story, dialogue and removed characters this is the definitive version of this film. I never really liked this movie, mainly because of the twist ending so the fact that I actually enjoyed it tells just how much it's better then the original in my eyes. With all the cut down lame side-characters, keeping the story focused on the main group of kids, I thought that was well done and the story never dragged for me. I definitely recommend this if you're going to do a Friday the 13th marathon and you don't want to waste too much time with Part V and this is definitely my go version in the future.

I liked this edit a lot. It cuts a lot of unnecessary deaths and focuses only on the interns and the crew from the mental clinic. Anyway I think the edit could maintain the kid´s older brother´s death and the redneck death. It would show that "Jason" was stalking the interns and they relatives. But I liked this edit a lot, congratulations!

Hey tipoc... thanks for the review. Yeah, I almost kept the murder of Reggie's brother, but I suppose at the same time I wanted to keep the movie moving and maintaining the focus as much as possible on Tommy. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Thanks haseo... always nice to hear that word "definitive" ;) However, it's just meant as an alternate way to watch it. I never really intend to replace films as such. Well, maybe a little in my own mind I do, but hey... glad you had fun.
