Intentions:

Making a movie that was closer to the original Thriller/Horror genre before all the rewrites and reshoots. This movie had such potential and thanks to the deleted scenes I’m able to create a storyline closer to what we expected.

Change List:

• Insert Fanedit warning • Insert MR logo • Add Movies Remastered title card • Remove all the opening scene up to Dani running in the forest. Showing everything at the start loses all tension or suspense throughout the rest of the movie. • Remove Roberto laughing at Dani’s name (This shows fear of speaking out and creates more awkwardness when Dani enters) • Remove Cutaway to Sam and replace it with Roberto’s response. • Add Roberto & Illyana Sunspot (deleted scene) • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Insert Wolf looking up • Add Dani climbing ladder (deleted scene) • Use deleted scene score • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Extend looking down clip to feel more vertigo. • Add “She’s a Demon” (deleted scene) • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add Bowed pitch sound to Sam’s Vision • Add Roberta & Dani Cantina (deleted scene) • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Connects Dani doing laundry to Sam’s Vision transition • Delete Wolf looking up • Add “Too Hot” Roberto & Sam playing basketball • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add & Extend Dani’s Nightmare (deleted scene) audio mix • Use deleted scene colour grade • Add Demon Bear glowing eyes. • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add Nightmare score • Remove Wide Church clip (This breaks continuity after Dani breaks it earlier) I could’ve fixed it in post but it’s a completely different clock face. • Remove Illyana saying “It’s a lie detector”. The audience isn’t stupid • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana in her room. • Add Thriller sound fx to Roberto & Illyana pool sequence • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add Sharp resonance string effect • Add Orchestral stab Sound Effect • Add High pitch Demon Horse scream • Add Demon raw in rear channel • Add Demon exhale Sound effects • Add Demon scream sound effect • Add “Initiate Lockdown scene” • Add “We’re on Lockdown” (deleted scene) • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add opening scene reveal of the Demon bear & what happened to Dani’s father mixed with Dani’s meditation scene. • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana finding wall painting • Add Thriller sound fx to “..and like Christ I rise again” • Add crying Wolf sounds to shower transformation scene • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana pulling Dani into her world • Add Warping sound fx to Illyana being pulled out • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana vision as a child • Cut the struggle between Sam & Illyana with Smiley man to help pacing • Cut Sam saying “He can’t hurt you!” • Rearrange fight scene so Sam hits the floor first • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana fighting with Smiley man • Add Thriller sound fx to Roberto washing up • Add Thriller sound fx to Illyana running from all Smiley Men • Add “This way, follow me!” (deleted scene) • Fix 5.1 sound for deleted scene • Add tension building score • Add Movies Remastered to closing credits • Insert MR logo
