Cleverly trimmed of about and hour and a half down to one hour this still manages to be easy to follow and retain most of the hightlights of the original. The new music cues are great and always surprising in how well they fit into the action. We need more ArtisDead edits please!

Full disclosure: I am part of the Red Apple Crew, and was able to preview this edit. When I read that this film was to be cut down to a 60-minute episode, I thought "How on earth can it be done?!"; the story is so full already, that making trims and cuts would be difficult. ArtisDead has crafted a fantastic edit out of an already fantastic film!
The cuts, trims and re-arranging of scenes all work very well; there isn't much of the story that you're missing that would adversely affect the viewing experience.
The musical choices are fantastic, with heartfelt tributes to different musicians., plus the tone of the scenes with the new music hasn't been altered or watered-down. If anything, the tone has been made stronger through the use of new music. Editing music, and the removal of existing music from a film, can be extremely difficult, yet he has done a superb job here!
I genuinely loved this edit; some of the cuts are a tiny bit abrupt, however they didn't detract from my enjoyment, hence no reduction in the score I gave.
Great stuff overall!

Another great entry in the Tarantino Tales!
The audio work here is absolutely amazing and the new music is truly inspired.
It gives the movie a completely different energy and yet still feels very Tarantino-ish.
Loved this addition.

There are couple cuts that felt a bit too abrupt. One in particular that cuts away from a subtitle dialogue before being able to fully read it.

With nearly 90 minutes cut, I did find it challenging at times to fully understand/follow all the plot points in the new narrative. And as one would expect, with the story this condensed, the focus is on the Greatest Hits Plot Points, thus some scenes lose their nuances and greater context.

But as alternative viewing experience, this is a great watch! :)

To be fair I only watched episode 7. But right off with the presentation I could tell this was going to be something special, and I was right!

This was very well thought out and I felt I was getting a whole story even though it was cut down to just over an hour.

The music choices were fantastic and fit the scenes all very well

This is something I can't quite put into words. You just need to experience it yourself.

Just finished watching this edit, and I have to say it's pretty damn good.
It does a brilliant job of shortening the movie without feeling like anything's missing, and the music choices are amazing especially in the finale, which is a two minute masterpiece. While I'm not the biggest fan of the original, I found this to be a very enjoyable hour.
My only real complaint is that I watched this with my wife who'd never seen the original, and she was pretty confused by the swastika branding. She didn't really get what had happened even at the end, so that could be clearer. I also thought that the original intro scene of Hans killing the Jews under the floorboards was great, and it's a shame that it was cut, but I understand why it was cut, so I don't think it's at all necessary for it to be in the edit.

If you like Inglorious Basterds, you should love this edit. Definitely a recommend.
