This edit worked really well for me. I had not seen the original, and didn’t feel I was missing anything (which made it enjoyable afterward to read about all the stuff that was cut). The only thing I would have done different (or at least would have tried), would be to tone down his sister’s violent death. As it was, with so little violence in the rest of the movie, it felt particularly shocking and out of place for me. But I realize that I watch scary movies for different reasons than other people, and I’m probably alone in complaining about too much violence.
