Synopsis:

Dates changed to keep continuity with the of the rest F13 [raymix] series timeline. The new dates give Rennie time to age from 6 in her flashback to 18 in the present. Both dates are real Friday the 13ths. All of Rennie's Jason hallucinations have been removed. The only time we see or hear a young Jason is in her flashback. There are many cuts made to alter the timeline, remove filler, tighten the editing & improve the overall ambiance.


Intentions:

This project aims to bring stronger continuity, tighter editing & improved pacing to all 12 films in the Friday the 13th movie series.


Change List:

I tried to stay true to Steve Mirkovich's editing style from the original film. I didn't want anything to seem changed or altered at all. This mostly meant sharp, quick cutting & trying to keep the energy high.
