Closing the night with the third film which was way down my ranking list back in the 90s. I was curious as to whether or not IFC would be different than AMC or SYFY or even Sundance or BBC. It was rated TV-MA, so that is refreshing. I have to say that I am legit surprised--really stunned--just how much has been left in this cut of the film. Debbie (Tracie Savage) getting the machete from underneath, and it protruding all the way through her chest, the harpoon into Vera's eye, Shelley's slit throat, Andy's severed body in two parts, the pitchfork usage in the barn, with Rick's eyeball popping out even shown. Savage is mentioned in name because her entire shower, with shots of her breasts, are shown. That really struck me. When you see a lot of the AMC and SYFY (Paramount Network, too) cuts of the Friday films, the gore is almost completely excised. I watched "Friday the 13th" (1980) on Paramount Network not too long ago, and that cut was totally PG. But props to IFC for giving this franchise audience the goods.
