It offers an obvious upgrade in terms of its color palette, which is cooler and allows for more natural skin tones. If you don’t have any of the films on Blu-ray or only need the Original 8, it’s a pretty good set, but not the best option on the market.

For this review of the massive "Deluxe Edition," we've broken Jason's overall continuity and evolution as the unstoppable, supernatural killing machine into three timelines. Overall, depth is largely outstanding with excellent separation of the foreground from the background, and several objects feel as though crashing through the screen thanks to the filmmakers' gimmick photography.

Along with the video, all four films also enjoy new DTS-HD MA soundtracks, and as is customary with most Scream Factory releases, owners have a choice between the original monaural and stereo tracks or rebranded 5.

All twelve features come with excellent lossless audio presentations, and the entire package makes for a highly recommended release. The reason is, like you mentioned, the gore scenes run too long in the unrated cut, and it's much more obvious you are seeing Tom Savini's special effects (which are great, of course). Grain is also slightly more resolved, allowing for higher levels of shadow detail and deeper blacks. They wind up in the real world together, battling it out while their potential victims stand by to see who is victorious.All of the discs line up nicely with matching info along the spine bottoms (Scream and Blu-ray logos, model numbers, and SDH notifications).
