Extra Features:

  • "Chaos in the Flesh" (24:21, HD) is a video conference interview with director of photography Richard Clabaugh, who was originally shooting second unit on "Phantoms" before the original cinematographer quit, allowing him to step into the position. Locations in Colorado are recalled, with the production taking over a small town, welcomed by the locals as they managed to pull off some major shots. Keeping "his dancing shoes on," the interviewee describes technical challenges taking over the endeavor, dealing with creative choices he respected but did not originate. The youthfulness of the cast is analyzed, with Dimension Films refusing to use older actors, making some scripted backstories about hard lives a difficult fit. The ensemble is celebrated, with Clabaugh especially appreciative of Liev Schrieber's abilities. Peter O'Toole's contributions are noted as well. Lighting design is deconstructed, with much of the picture captured in darkness, forcing the cinematographer to solve a few visual puzzles. Time with director Joe Chappelle is examined, identifying creative restrictions put on him by Dimension, who wanted a specific film done their way. Monster design messes are revealed, and various reshot endings are identified, leaving the effort "3/4 of a really good movie."
  • "Terror from Below" (14:30, HD) is a video conference interview with producer Joel Soisson, who recalls the early days of his career, including time spent working for Dino De Laurentiis. Soisson found his way to the Dean Koonz novel, taking an early shot at an adaptation, but the project fell apart. It picked up again at Dimension Films, with Bob Weinstein trying to sustain the success of "Scream" by making a horror movie with young stars, losing the nuance of the book. The interviewee examines the fight over the screenplay and the hiring of director Joe Chappelle, also analyzing casting choices, with Ben Affleck shooting "Good Will Hunting" at the same time. Monster woes are identified, with creature designs changing throughout production. Soisson identifies the first 30 minutes of "Phantoms" as the purest form of the adaptation, with numerous reshoots and ideas eventually pulling the movie apart.
  • A T.V. Spot (:31, SD) is offered.
  • And a Home Video Trailer
