Friday the 13th [raymix]

I loved this! The pace is improved so much and I didn't feel as disorientated as the first film made me feel thanks to a better edit. Definitely recommend.

A good way to pass the time

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.

The first film in particular, I find to be the black sheep of the series, and even RayDanger's edit struggles against the flat characters and lack of a whodunnit mystery that earns the Mrs. Voorhees twist at the end of the film.

Regardless, RayDanger elevated the film's presence, greatly improving the ending and providing a stronger launching pad for Jason.

The best way to watch the original.

Great editing, pacing and even if it does not massively improve it, it flows better and makes for a fun quick watch to start the franchise!

An overall improvement on the original. Goes by just a bit faster but it makes a difference. Saw this with my sister and she wasn't bored; Usually, she sleeps during movies, especially older ones. Looks great, sounds great, better continuity, and I'd recommend it.
