Movies like the burbs

The 'Burbs is a 1989 American black comedy film directed by Joe Dante, starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal and Henry Gibson, and co-starring Gale Gordon. The film was written by Dana Olsen, who also has a cameo in the movie. The film pokes fun at suburban environments and their sometimes eccentric dwellers.

Ray Peterson is home on a week-long vacation. Late one night, he hears strange noises emanating from the basement of his new and rather odd neighbors, the Klopeks. Eventually, Ray, and fellow neighbors Art Weingartner, and Mark Rumsfield, a military veteran, gradually suspect the Klopeks may be ritualistic murderers.

On another night, Ray, Art, and Rumsfield observe the youngest Klopek carting an over-sized garbage bag from the garage to the curbside garbage can, where he aggressively mashes it down with a hoe. Ray has also seen the Klopeks digging in their back yard during a rainstorm. The following morning, Ray, Rumsfield, and Art search the garbage truck for human remains after the Klopeks' trash can is collected, but find nothing.
