Tom Hanks portrays suburbanite Ray Peterson, whose plans for a peaceful vacation are disturbed by a creepy new family on the block, in this outrageous suspense-comedy directed by Joe Dante.
To the disappointment of his wife Carol (Carrie Fisher), Ray decides to spend a relaxing week at home, and soon gets into trouble with his neighbours - a hefty busybody (Rick Ducommun), a freaked-out ex-soldier (Bruce Dern), and a spacey teenager (Corey Feldman) - as they observe the strange happenings next door at the Klopek's bizarre residence.
When the neighbourhood grouch suddenly disappears, th... e men are convinced the ramshackle house hides some hideous clues. Armed with assault rifles, high-powered binoculars and a shovel, they decide to see for themselves exactly what is going on in the Klopek place. Set in an average neighbourhood that is anything but average, The 'Burbs blends slapstick comedy and spine-thrilling mystery with the type of witty humour that has made Tom Hanks one of today's most popular stars.

Kale's father will shortly be killed in an accident on the drive back home, but before that can happen, he dispenses advice to his son on the baiting and trapping of fish - advi...
In the days before Hanks turned into a serious Oscar-winning actor, he was plying his trade in under-rated movies like this dark suburban nightmare. He stars as Ray Peterson, whose plans for a quiet week's vacation at home are ruined by the arrival of seriously weird new neighbours the Klopeks, and when people from the neighbourhood start disappearing his paranoia increases. Dante's film shifts effortlessly between sunny and edgy comedy with Hanks in fine form as the man pushed to the edge, and it's nice to see Fisher as his acid-tongued wife. One of the most consistently overlooked moview of the 80s.
