I did think the audio mix was better, so maybe they did “sweeten” it a bit. As for the extras and rental copies … I’m with you on that one! I rented The Cabin in the Woods and was really disappointed that none of the extras on the retail Blu-ray were on the rental version. Very dumb move, but I suppose they feel if they “give away” the bonus material on a rental, no one will want to buy the disk. Sometimes, though, you want to take a test drive before you commit to buying something!

The sound mix was also a big problem for me–I felt like none of the songs were given the performance they deserved, in terms of the musical accompaniment, and in many cases, the “acting” overpowering the singing. I also felt like the close-ups were claustrophobic, despite having some beautiful sets around. I did think that the re-arranging of scenes and general writing and re-writing process was excellent, and the story never made more sense for me than in the movie.

So your review just might inspire me to seek out the disc at some point, to give it another look. I’d love to see the extras, but I’m not going to buy the blu-ray, and it seems like these days, most studios remove all the extras for the Netflix rental copies, which I find to be depressingly greedy and shortsighted.
