What is The ’Burbs about?

New parents Samira and Rob trade city life for his childhood cul-de-sac in Hinkley Hills, where the casseroles arrive with unsettling smiles. As the neighborhood’s only Black resident, Samira can’t shake the sense that the abandoned Victorian across the street is watching her back — or that her husband knows far more about this street’s buried history than he’s letting on. A reimagining of the 1989 cult favorite that plays its suburban nightmare for laughs as often as chills.

Celluloid verdict: Softer than its cult-classic namesake but sharper than expected, The ’Burbs coasts on Keke Palmer’s impeccable comic instincts — a breezy neighborhood mystery that favors charm over dread. The cast is led by Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, among others.
