really, if somebody is a fan of the gore. this is the version to buy. sure, it’s just a couple more scenes, but it was worth it. and whitney actually escapes before being saved my clay. that didn’t really affect the story to much. but it certainly did make it have more of a back story.

I really liked the new reboot. I thought they did the original films justice, and they took it in a new direction. I also agree that the killer cut should have been the theatrical. My only grip about the DVD’s was the lack of a commentary. Being a filmmaker myself, I love listening to the directors talk about the films. I hope they come out with a two disc DVD like they did for the TCM remake.

Can someone clear this up for me. Does the Killer Cut version come with a Directors/Actors commentary ?

I thought that the difference between the killer cut and the theatrical release was huge!!! The kills are gorier and u see Jasons face and Jason when he was a kid. It made the whole movie make more sence

i agree deadman13, the deleted version of him getting the mask is much better. i understand they wanted more buildup to it and all, but lots of kills had no buildup. at least with the redneck wearing the mask, you knew jason was about to get the mask by killing him…buildup enough for me. the shot of the sack and head dropping was really well done.

yeah newt that sounds like the fw upgrade. it can be a real pain in the ass for some players. good luck.

Newt, your player may need a firmware update. This tends to happen with newer discs. Go to your players official site and check if one is available.

I just saw the killer cut on blue-ray and i’ll admit that after watching it in the comfort of my own home, it was more enjoyable than in the theater. But I still have issues with certain things but i’m warming up to them. The thing I wish they would have went with, was the way Jason gets the hockey mask. I’m not gonna spoil anything but the deleted scene is more effective IMO than what the used in the movie. I am starting to respect what they were trying to do with this new movie. I also agree with everyone that says this film should’ve been released like this in the theaters. The clips of young Jason were good and added alot to the opening. The scene of Jason sharpening the machete was priceless. Pissed off Jason is always good. I didn’t see anything that would’ve made them delete those extra scenes other than the mere fact of putting them on this DVD. My complaints are still the fact that Jason kept a prisoner!!! That still bugs the hell out of me. But I’m starting to warm up alittle to it. I can see what they were trying to do with that. The other thing is, the score… or lack there of. Other than that the killer cut adds alot to a movie that felt very rushed and confusing in the theater.

just got my BD today…yeah the killer cut passed with an R-rating – it didn’t need MPAA cuts apparently. i think they just dug up any additional angles or shots from the cutting room floor to add into the death scenes.

HOWEVER…i officially take back much of my bitching of how shitty this movie is.

1. watching the bluray in the privacy of my own home right off the bat had me in a better and more receptive mood. both my trips to the theaters were full of people talking loudly (followed by dozens of shushes), squeaking chairs, crinkling snack bags every 5 seconds, and wet, open mouth popcorn-chomping. one time some wacko (eyes-crossed, literally wacko) kept talking to me and i had to shush him more than once. it was like a nightmare. i was too pissed throughout to enjoy ANY movie.

bitching aside…

2. the continuity problem at the beginning was necessary. for this movie it was better to sum up pam vorhees’s story for the intro, and you can’t have a movie called ‘friday the 13th’ without mongloid child jason. i no longer have a problem with it…it’s just a movie–who really cares?

3. watching in hi-def on a 40″ LCD rather than a theater screen so massive that the picture looks overly grainy with faded colors + no possibility of making out the shaky cam scenes, makes for a much more engaging experience.

although the extended kills weren’t much more to look at, the prolonging of most of the death scenes makes the overall movie more effective. trent’s was pretty awesome, and much needed for his character. the extra nudity was LOVELY!! thank you very much!

and the other stuff that was added…HOLY SHIT! how dare they cut some the most effective scenes? do you really have to cut a horror movie to 90 minutes for people to be willing to see it? especially one from a legendary franchise?

so many other movies in the theaters are 2 hrs, 3 hrs, etc. some of them are so dragged out and boring, everyone complains about them and half of the audience walks out (watchmen)…but this movie actually DOES engage you so it’s okay! christ it was only a few minutes! is this like a rule for horror movies?

you get more development of jason’s character, which is priceless. very well done. **SPOILER** you get whitney’s escape scene which i thought brought in more suspense and made it more exciting. you get an ending that isn’t 30 seconds long that actually feels like it ties up the movie.

BRAVO! next time, make the killer cut the theatrical cut. spend a little more time in the editing room and think about these things.

Why does everyone think this “Killer Cut” thing is UNRATED? I have it, since it was cheap, on Blu Ray and I have to say it is R RATED. Nothing UNCUT is on the DVD aside from a few “slashed bits” they cobbled together and the lack of real extras is lame. I wish they would stop all this playing around and just do the right thing. Stop cutting films for an R in the first place, just watch it and give the film a RESTRICTED rating if it is gory or whatever, without asking for cuts to an artist’s vision. It is ridiculous that the Japanese fans get full versions and we get crap, so I order my films from there. The way they did the TAKEN DVD is even worse. It was confusing and dumb. Blockbuster and all rental chains got ONLY the PG version at the studios choice, some stores got UNRATED, some only got UNRATED on BluRay while the DVD owners suffer. Geez.

Just got my copy today of the blu-ray. Some stuff I liked more, some less.
I really liked the gorier kills. Especially Trent! Not so sure I liked the escape sequence because it brought up a problem of how he was able to turn the power off and go back and forth so quickly.
The extras shots not in the killer cut were interesting also.

For those who want to know.

Alternate kill sequence where Jason gets his mask. Donnie’s original death sequence has him waring the hockey mask and getting his head chopped off.
Cops taking the call from Clay Miller. Responder doesn’t take the call seriously.
Alternate ending/ Clay Miller fight where Jason gets his neck broken.

Wow, some people on this thread really need to get to grips and grow up. So there’s an extra few minutes footage? If you liked the theatrical release be thankful of whatever they offer you. Some of you whine like little bitches!

It’s seven more minutes of movie not credits, relax. Those seven minutes definitely make it feel more like a Friday movie.

It could be that there is extra footage in the credits or after the credits as that is the oh so fashionable thing for film makers to do nowadays.(here\’s hoping)……………KI,KI,KI,MA,MA,MA.
