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!

Wow, never would have seen this one coming. This movie will go straight to the bargain bin when it's released on Blu here, crazy that it's getting a steel. Cool though. Gonna have to rewatch it and see if it still holds up...

I tend to agree. I don't think this will sell as good as some of their other titles. I think it's a little known film, it's hard to fit it into any genre apart from comedy and it's hardly Oscar winning material from Hanks.

I'm going to take a gamble and hold out on a price drop. I remember a lot their titles went down (to £8-£9 I think) a while back.

It was only for a short time, a day or two at most, but they were reduced nonetheless.
 
Ordered this last night, set up an account with arrow and got a pound off straight away ( thanks Paul for pointing that out:thumbs:) Arrow have a great money off point system, makes play's and zavvi's look crap.
 
i think thats just partly true. arrow always have special pre-order prices, but soon after release date the prices often drop even lower than that pre-order prices... for example the standard releases: 12.99 pre-order price--> 14.99 after release --> 8.99 three weeks after release in their arrow sales that happen quite often (mostly march, june, november). it was the same with special editions and steelbooks lately. so i will possibly wait before i place an order and will see if i can get them for 12.99 in summer.

by the way, the two limited editions of hellgate and hell comes to frigtown, both limited 1k, are running out of stock. so i placed an order for these instead. ;-)

Yes in Nov/Dec or Jan Arrow have great prices in there Christmas Sales

But I myself not waiting that long to get it cheaper
I got this for £12.89 so I already have it at a cheap price

The Reward Points are brilliant if you order a lot from arrow you could end up getting it for free
Reward Points 100 and more depending on the Price
Average is 150 Points
10 orders were points was 150 points per order would give you £15.00 to use (1500 Points)
100 points = £1.00

Zavvi might have this cheaper also in Jan next year but that's a long time away
I got some Arrow Steelbooks from Zavvi in Jan £8.99 and £10.99/£12.99
If you want to wait you can but you cant be sure it will be cheaper then

Today I set up an account to see how things work. Arrow gave me 100 pts. But when I added the Burbs to the cart and went to check out, the discount was coming up as '100 pts=0.01 discount.

Is this a type O or am I really only getting 1p off? Needless to say I didn't order it.

I can take a screenshot to prove it.
