Win The Burbs on Blu-ray

Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the release of The ‘Burbs, one of the most hotly anticipated Arrow Video Blu-ray titles of the year. Joe Dante’s iconic cult classic is out now as both a deluxe Blu-ray & also as a limited edition SteelBook featuring an updated version of the original iconic artwork.

Arrow Video’s landmark release comes loaded with a bumper crop of bonus features including an all-new high definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the Theatrical cut, newly-restored from the original film elements, and the original Workprint cut of the film transferred from Director Joe Dante’s personal copy, on home video for the very first time, which includes deleted and alternate scenes.

The films of director Joe Dante have taken us to some strange places – a mysterious Chinatown antique store in Gremlins; a secluded resort  populated by werewolves in The Howling; even deep inside the human body in Innerspace. But now he takes us to the strangest place of all – suburbia!

Family man Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) is looking forward to a week of putting his feet up at home in the quiet, leafy cul-de-sac of Mayfield Place. But his plans are scuppered by the arrival of new next-door neighbours, The Klopeks, whose behaviour and habits are more than just a little kooky. But things go from kooky to downright sinister when local old boy Walter disappears, leading Ray and his buddies to suspect their new neighbours of killing and eating him! Sure, the Klopeks are a strange bunch what with their digging up the backyard in the middle of the night – but they’re not devil-worshipping cannibal killers… are they?

    • Limited Edition SteelBook packaging
    • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the Theatrical cut, newly-restored from the original film elements
