The Fishers\u2019 home stands opposite a spooky Victorian house that has been derelict for 20 years and, according to rumour, was the scene of a terrible crime. One night, a new owner moves in and gets Samira\u2019s spidey-senses tingling. There\u2019s the time he hauls a body-sized bundle into his house, and the time she spots him in the local hardware store buying an axe and some rubber gloves. She and a motley crew of neighbours start to keep tabs on him, believing he might be a murderer in their midst. But as the episodes go on, it also becomes clear that Rob knows more about that house than he\u2019s letting on.<\/p>\n
All of this is investigated in the low-stakes style of Only Murders in the Building<\/a>. Unfortunately, The \u2019Burbs, produced by Family Guy\u2019s Seth MacFarlane, isn\u2019t half as funny or camp as that show. Nor does it have the thrills and chills of Netflix\u2019s The Watcher<\/a>, which trod similar ground. What it does have is Whitehall, in quite the worst piece of transatlantic casting since they put Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula.<\/p>\n There is also a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it Tom Hanks cameo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Fishers\u2019 home stands opposite a spooky Victorian house that has been derelict for 20 years and, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":507674,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[32776,5343,96,103274,87207,2839,22874,263,7355,3133,167224,177960,56,54,55,157732],"class_list":["post-507673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-atlantic-ocean","tag-culture","tag-entertainment","tag-jack-whitehall","tag-maternity","tag-movies","tag-racism","tag-review","tag-sky","tag-television","tag-television-editors-choice","tag-thriller-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-us-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/507674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
