When secretive new neighbors move in next door, suburbanite Ray Peterson and his friends let their paranoia get the best of them as they start to suspect the newcomers of evildoings and commence an investigation. But it’s hardly how Ray, who much prefers drinking beer, reading his newspaper and watching a ball game on the tube expected to spend his vacation.

“One of Tom Hanks’ overlooked performances because this bizarre thriller-comedy ends so strangely but there’s much to like here.” —Kim Newman, Empire Magazine

“The movie has wider significance in the way it presents suburban expansion as a cheerier version of manifest destiny — an unstoppable force that gobbles up land and then quickly sets about circling the wagons.” —Larsen on Film
