Synopsis:

With all this talk of a remake and talk of who the killer will be, I wanted to make an edit that is as close as possible to what I think the remake should be. I wanted the story to include Jason and Mrs. Voorhees, to display both of their legacies in one reasonably lengthened movie.


Intentions:

In the first movie, the legend of CCL already exists, because of Jason’s drowning and the kids deaths at the beginning of the first movie. I eliminated that entirely, so Mrs. Voorhees’ rampage is the first of it’s kind, and therefore creates the legend discussed in Part 2. I think the first movie is a great concept and is a better idea than Jason as the killer, but the second movie is hands down a more well-made movie with much better dialogue. I left as much character development in the first movie and cut as much of the violence as possible, so it feels more like a character movie. Think DEATHPROOF. That’s kinda how this feels. To sum up: I wanted to see if I could take two good horror movies and turn them into one GREAT movie.


Change List:

Cut list From F13: 1. Cut 1957 intro 2. Cut Alice talking to dog and her interaction w/ the townies including Ralph. 3. Moved Alice’s death to earlier in the film. 4. Cut awkward Alice/Steve sexual tension scene. 5. Cut Ned’s mentioning of “Camp Blood” 6. Trimmed lake scene heavily(Ned’s fake drowning). 7. Cut police officer scene and Ralph’s second appearance. 8. Cut snake scene. 9. Cut the scene w/ everyone hanging out and they turn on the generator. 10. Cut marcy jack dialogue about dreams. 11. Trimmed sex sequence heavily. 12. Trimmed down Marcy bathroom sequence. 13. Cut Brenda bathroom sequence. 14. Cut Steve’s diner sequence. 15. Cut the cop picking Steve up and their dialogue. 16. Cut sequnce where Bill and Alice roam the camp looking for the others. 17. Trimmed final showdown HEAVILY. Now only lasts about 5 mniutes. 18. Cut Jason’s emergence. 19. Many little cuts here and there to shorten the length. ****Body count goes from 9 to 7. From Part 2: 1. Cut dream sequence at beginning. 2. Cut opening credits. 3. Trimmed some character scenes of would-be victims, who do not matter in this edit. EXAMPLE: Scott dancing with the dog. 4. Cut cop discovery of Jason’s hut and death. 5. Cut all instances of characters opting to stay at the camp instead of going out drinking. In other words, the only people who remain at the camp are the ones who get in trouble and are not invited to the bar. All scenes relating to characters that stayed behind in the orgininal cut are removed, like their deaths. 6. Reordered several scenes to give some balance back to the movie after cutting so much. 7. Final Showdown is trimmed a bit. Not so much running around and less of Jason acting like a dick. ****Body count goes from 10 to 4.
