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, but the synopsis sounds good... Can an experienced Ninja or 2 tell me if it's worth a blind buy?!

I rented this when it came out and i was always 50/50 about it over the years but I watched it again about a year ago and really enjoyed it!
I would suggest watching it before you order, you'll either love it or hate it, it's that kind of movie ..but like I said, on my last watch i loved it:D

also i think the artwork is great on this one so you should definitely check the movie out

Id rather buy through Amazon that Arrow directly (better packaging and no need to pay up front) but not for £30...how do you go about giving Amazon a nudge to get their pricing closer to Arrows £15?
