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.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The 'Burbs' is fundamentally a suburban horror-comedy/thriller focused on paranoia and neighborly suspicion. While the plot explicitly mentions Ray being on vacation, which *could* occur during the Christmas season, there is no indication that Christmas significantly impacts the setting, plot, themes, or iconography in a way that qualifies it as a Christmas movie."
