(spoilers) This works very well, considering a large portion of the plot has been excised. I only just now saw that nearly an hour has...
I believe this started out as a remake of l8wrtr’s edit (my go-to) using the recently surfaced Czech theatrical print, but it has developed into something a bit more unique...
What a neat idea. The footage works well together and the music builds nicely. I found the lack of foley for external shots of the vessel to be a bit...
I watched Raiders as a child, but I remember how terrified I was when my parents covered my eyes at certain segments. Part of me enjoyed the thrill of not...
I had no real issue with the theatrical cut; it’s a great slice of Hollywood cheese, and classic execution of the three-act formula, with great dialogue. But the idea of...
It’s been many years since I’ve seen Young Frankenstein, and I wanted to go into this edit blind, so I can’t be certain of many changes. Nor can I really...
QUALITY I nearly always opt for the higher quality file, but due to space I had to go with the small MP4 this time. It largely looks very...
I had no immediate plans to watch this but Ray left me no choice - NO CHOICE ;) In all seriousness though, audio editing...
The Hole is a Dante deep cut and a bit of a curiosity. When I saw it I felt that the script was pretty poor and the tonal clash between...
I’ve never really liked Bride that much, largely for being such a stark tonal shift from the first film. Minnie’s constant interjections are beyond annoying and I’m not a fan...
James Whale's Frankenstein is easily one of the best (if not the best) examples of classic Universal Horror, elevated considerably by Karloff's excellent performance. The theatrical cut holds up relatively...
This is something I hoped someone would do eventually. Catferoze provides two versions, I watched the main edit, as opposed to the workprint. Visual quality is great. Audio quality sometimes...
I'm not really a fan of New Nightmare, but one of the biggest problems it has is pacing and Ray has done a great job of tightening things up. I...
I'm not a massive fan of the original Elm Street film and I went into this knowing that Ray wouldn't have ticked all my personal boxes for an edit. That...
Ray Danger has done a very good job here, although I feel like it's a little too restrained for its own good. Amazingly, while 20 minutes have been cut, the...
15MaF has clearly put in a lot of work here, and I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the film to appreciate it (so apologies if I misinterpret changes). I...
QUALITY Quality is excellent considering the file size. VISUAL EDITING Visual cuts are seamless. Newly added dream segments are nicely...
Krausfadr has put together a very slick looking version of a low budget film, drawing from pre-made material from a few different FX artists. The colour grading is a welcome...
It's been a long time since I've seen the theatrical cut. I was not a fan at all, but with some time now passed, I was curious how this edit...
Visual quality is pretty good, if a little softer than I'd like. The shot at 44:30 is noticeably more compressed than the rest of the edit but I can't think...
For the record, I have never seen Thor: Love and Thunder (I have seen the previous films). Every now and again I choose to make a fanedit my first experience,...
I've been interested in watching this for a while but I wasn't able to find it till recently. I always assumed this was the film presented as a 1970s/80s TV...
Quality is SD and it isn't great to look at, but it works well enough. Audio sounds good except for some of the Twilight Zone elements, which sound of a...
I hold the controversial opinion of thinking that the second Elm Street film is actually quite good, and would put it at #2 in my ranking of the franchise, after...
I was not familiar with Psycho II, but the concept of the edit sounded so wild that I felt like I had to make it my first experience. ...
REWATCH 1/11/23: Watched Ray's recent Version 2 and it's a great update to an already solid edit. Some of my criticisms still stand, but the...
QUALITY I'll get the most negative aspect over with right away: the audio quality was very poor. I'm surprised to see no one has mentioned...
This is a fantastic concept and an edit I have wanted to watch for a while, so I was glad to finally stumble across it. One of those ones I...
Ray Danger has made a very admirable effort to fix up what is typically considered to be a pretty mediocre sequel. The use of quick cuts and music changes is...
This is a neat concept and one that is probably worth pursuing beyond the trailer, should INIGHTMARES choose to go down that road. If he does, I'll gladly watch it....
I once started watching the theatrical cut. Apparently, I wasn't in the mood, because I rarely DNF, but I was barely half an hour in before I became bored and...
Disclaimer: I haven't seen this since I was a child, when the film was always experienced at the hands of the VHS player. I picked up the blu-ray pretty much...
I've been away from the forums for a bit and will be running away again after I drop this review. Life has demanded it. But I saw the release for...
Disclaimer: I've seen the theatrical cut once and Hal's edit once, so I am not crazy familiar with the material. Frankly, the editing felt botched in the theatrical, so if...
QUALITY I watched the largest file size available and it looked excellent. No complaints. Surround sound too - yay! ...
QUALITY Quality is decent. The cropping to 16:9 naturally means a reduced resolution. VISUAL EDITING ...
QUALITY Quality is decent overall, but some odd scenes look to be more heavily compressed with some noticeable artifacts. I know that trailers are used...
Meant to watch this a while ago... sorry it took me so long! Been about 8 years since I've seen the theatricals, so hopefully my observations are relatively untainted by...
QUALITY For me, Glass and Split quality ranges between 8.5 and 9. Some scenes have some visible compression, but generally the footage looks good. Unbreakable...
I watched through all of the original Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me recently. I was going to watch The Missing Pieces before moving onto The Return, but I...
QUALITY Quality is decent, but not peak for an HD source. Visual is a little soft in places and the rich reds of Mars betray...
QUALITY Quality is often difficult to rate with a Grindhouse edit... it's MEANT to look bad... right? From my perspective, the majority of this...
(Ratings are an average, reflecting the overall experience) I have reviewed the shorts separately on their individual pages, so this is really more of...
This here: the ONLY fan-mix in the Animation Consecution (at least, in the sense of merging unrelated material)! We need more of this kind of thing. I love a good...
MKV. Generally well put together. There's a drop in quality for a couple of the night shots, but otherwise things look very crisp. I noticed two audio fades, and a...
Watched the MKV. Some noticeable compression in darker areas, otherwise quality seemed very good. This functioned well enough as a standalone story, but I still...
This felt pretty rushed, if I'm honest. It starts off with some kind of narrative, but then sort of turns into a fever dream. I wasn't really sure what to...
The opening prologue is a little choppy visually, but otherwise this works well and I didn't pick up on many transitions. There did seem to be a number of audio...
I hope I don't come across as harsh, but this edit feels like a missed opportunity. What it amounts to is an episode of Futurama cut down to 15 minutes,...
This is a very effective trimming of a feature film into short format. Nothing felt amiss in the narrative and I didn't notice a single transition. It honestly makes me...
