Alternate versions

In the Anchor Bay uncut release, they omitted a line in the telephone booth scene after the grandfather is killed, leaving the little girl behind. The original line was a relative on the other end saying, "Jesus, Fred! What have you've been eating Mexican food, again?"

There is an alternate/extended cut of the shower scene with Lauren that's included as an extra on some of the DVD and Blu-ray releases. It features nudity from Kim Greist's body double.

Home video releases contain an "Integral Cut" (96 minutes run time) previously only seen on network TV but without the removal of gore. Additional scenes include:

• Lauren talking to her neighbor on the steps inside the apartment building with the woman's son Justin.
• Lauren talking to her boyfriend (John Heard) about her being pregnant and later showing them in bed together.
• Captain Bosch discovering his wife's dead body with another policeman in knee-deep water near a sewer runoff pipe.
• Additional moments in the scene of the diner massacre with two bums running from the creatures, which is aired at the end of the movie in the video version not in the network version.
