Synopsis:

The date is moved back by a year so that this happens on a real Friday the 13th. The ending has been heavily altered to maintain closer continuity with the following films. 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 Bruce Green's editing style from the original film. I didn't want anything to seem changed or altered at all. This mostly meant simple cutting & a general documentarian-style approach.
