Friday the 13th (2009) Killer Cut Review

The Killer Cut of the Friday the 13th 2009 film is astounding in this fact: 9 minutes and 46 seconds are added back into the film, but none of the changes were noticeable upon first viewing, it simply felt like the same movie. I'll be honest guys, I had to look up the differences on a movie comparison website. This is the Friday film I definitely know the least also, but here it goes: the biggest changes are that we see Jason see his mother killed and pick up the machete, there's a new scene between Jenna and Clay when they first enter the campground, and there's an alternative storyline involving Whitney who in the Killer Cut actually gets herself out of the handcuffs that she's chained to for over half of the picture, she gets out of the underground and runs to the window where Trent and Bree are having sex, but Jason grabs her before they even notice that she's there. Aside from that we have alternate shots of various nudity and various violent scenes. A good number of scenes have extended violence. Honestly, guys, I don't know what to tell you with this one. This is a tough one. The theatrical cut is definitely harder to view because of how the blu ray is encoded, but just because it's harder to find doesn't mean it's better...I'd say the better cut is the Killer Cut. The added moments didn't really add anything, but unlike the original's uncut version, it didn't detract from the impact of the film either. I'd watch both versions of the 2009 film at any time, but if you had to choose one, watch the Killer Cut.
