Blood & Marie
Faneditor Name:
Original Movie/Show Title:
Genre:
Fanedit Type:
Original Release Date:
1992
Original Running Time:

Fanedit Running Time:

Time Cut:
11 minutes
Synopsis:
This is a FanEdit of Innocent Blood directed by John Landis. A Beautiful French Vampire takes on the Pittsburgh Italian mob in this Gory Horror Comedy!
Intention:
What I have tried to do with this FanEdit is make a less sprawling and more focused version of Innocent blood. The film drags in places and there is some odd continuity. Also there are some harsh cuts that have been ironed out. The beginning has been changed and the ending has a new cold-blooded twist! I hope I have made a more succinct film but I will let you be the judge of that.

Special Features:

Some scenes were moved to different locations for improved narrative flow and many more small cuts were made that are not listed.

Notes on New Sound

New Opening Theme by Carter Burwell (I was aiming at a nod to The Blues Brothers).
The first issue to deal with was eradicating Marie’s narration, which at some points was over dialogue, score and sound effects.
With the first meeting of Marie and Gennaro in the street; I tried to show that Marie can hear Gennaro’s blood moving around inside his body.
The main sound changes were made during the car chases and action sequences as I felt the existing score needed to be removed. It was impossible to use any of the original sound as it is plain stereo with the score firmly embedded with the sound effects and mickey-mousing the action . So from 56 mins to 61 mins approx. the sound design is entirely new; gunshots, car tire screeches, footsteps, car doors opening & closing, engine noise, neck breaks, bodies being hit by car, ricochet hits, breathing, body falls, freeway sounds, car horns, Sallie’s laugh and Sallie’s skin burning. I tied this together by using a score by Carter Burwell, which I hope adds to the drama of those sequences.
All the neck breaks have been newly replaced to make them sound more brutal, sickening and bone snapping.
The syncing of Marie hitting a man in the face with a baseball bat has been corrected and some bone breaking has been added.
The final scene has a new score by Carter Burwell with new ambient sound and newspaper sound effects etc.

The original had more charm to it, even though it was deeply flawed. After your LOTD I was shocked to see such a quality decline. So many things don’t work in your version, Mollo. Sorry, but I am a disappointed fan.

I prefer the original. This one had continuity problems and the ending did not fit. 3 of 10.
