Tom Hanks is Ray Peterson, a normal suburban family man who
along with his fellow neighbours becomes obsessed with finding out about the
mysterious new neighbours on the street.
Encouraged by his wife to spend his week’s vacation
relaxing, Ray tries his best to not be intrigued by the bizarre goings on that
are happening next door, but with strange noises coming from the basement, no
sign of them until after dark and a house falling into disrepair, Ray, Art and
Rumsfield are determined to find out about them.
As they witness the Klopeks digging holes in the dead of
night, the friends decide they must have something to hide and when fellow
neighbour Walter seemingly disappears, they become convinced their new
neighbours have something to do with it and will stop at nothing to expose
them.
This 80’s black comedy was a bit of a letdown in that there was an
absence of laugh out loud moments, but I still enjoyed it despite it being
far-fetched.
Co-starring Carrie Fisher and Corey Feldman, it was worth
watching, but not one I would rush to watch again.
