Tom Hanks stars in The ‘Burbs, a comedy about a suburbanite whose plans for a peaceful vacation at home are disturbed by a creepy new family on the block.  Much to the disappointment of his wife (Carrie Fisher), Ray Peterson (Hanks) and his three neighbors set out to investigate the next-door residence after they begin to observe strange happenings.  Set in an average neighborhood that is anything but ordinary, The ‘Burbs blends slapstick comedy and spine-thrilling mystery and is superbly directed by cult filmmaker Joe Dante (Piranha, Gremlins, Matinee, The Howling).

“A superbly inventive, insightful and funny black comedy” – Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune

“One of the greatest comedies ever made. A sharp satire of American life in the ’80s, when people were becoming disillusioned all over again after the ’70s.” – C.H. Newell, Father Son Holy Gore

“Also starring Carrie Fisher, ‘Burbs is a hilarious look at suburban mischief pre-Desperate Housewives. Check it out.” – Candice Frederick, Reel Talk Online

“A pleasantly nasty delight that was strangely overlooked in the cinema.” – Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
