i managed to get the dvd already and the only thing i've seen on it are the movie along with the commentary, the deleted scenes and extended scenes and the alternate endings. i haven't managed to see the whole creature design featurette, just the first 2 minutes of it but now i need to fully see it.

i was dissapointed in the dvd all together. there really isn't a thing added except for the so called clues. no background was said on the monster and the commentary didn't really give any insight into the creature or where it came from. it was all just "this is how i did this" and "this is how i did that" and background on where the idea for the movie came from. i was surprised to find out that steven spielberg gave some advice for the ending of the movie. he suggested that they include air raid alarms to give the movie a more dreadful feel. a sense of a countdown like the director said. as for the alternate scenes i would suggest freezing the 2nd alternate take and slowly going frame by frame. there is commentary for both alternate endings and the director really doesn't say that it's robb and beth being found but just the camera.
