Synopsis: HE’S A MAN OF PEACE IN A SAVAGE LAND… SUBURBIA.
The films of director Joe Dante have taken us to some strange places – a mysterious Chinatown antique store in Gremlins; a secluded resort populated by werewolves in The Howling; even deep inside the human body in Innerspace. But now he takes us to the strangest place of all – surburbia!

Family man Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) is looking forward to a week of putting his feet up at home in the quiet, leafy cul-de-sac of Mayfield Place. But his plans are scuppered by the arrival of new next-door neighbours, The Klopeks, whose behaviour and habits are more than just a little kooky. But things go from kooky to downright sinister when local old boy Walter disappears, leading Ray and his buddies to suspect their new neighbours of killing and eating him! Sure, the Klopeks are a strange bunch what with their digging up the backyard in the middle of the night – but they’re not devil-worshipping cannibal killers… are they?

If you’re looking for a knowing slice of tongue-in-cheek terror then look no further than The ’Burbs. A standout horror comedy from a director who has given us more than his fair share of fun frighteners, The ’Burbs assembles a superb cast including Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher and Corey Feldman in a tall tale of small-town terror. You’ll never look at those eccentric neighbours in the same way again!

Never seen this one, but you can't really go wrong with Hanks... loving that artwork too, so I'm willing to blind-buy. :D
 
My prayers have been answered, even if the interest was low on my request thread!

It was confirmed last year that they were releasing it...same goes for Koyaanisqatsi - might benefit you to be part of the thread on the BR.com forum!

Probably gonna get this one. Is about a quid more than their usual steelbooks...any reason for this? Extra disc, or they just raising the price a bit?
 
I have never used this company, are they genuine? Good packaging?

odd they take the money now even though it doesnt come out till June and then will you have to fight to get the money back if you change your mind or find it cheaper elsewhere?

Any help would be appreciated?
