The 'Burbs

(1989) dir Joe Dante w/Tom Hanks, Rick Ducommun, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal, Henry Gibson, Brother Theodore [101 min; DCP]
In Joe Dante’s Looney Tunes meets Universal Horror mash-up, Hanks plays a suburbanite whose bonkers neighbors convince him that there is a family of Satanist cannibals living next door to him. Another physical comedy tour-de-farce for Hanks (and the underrated Ducommun), THE ‘BURBS is a totally insane 1980s suburban nightmare.
