Sure, it's essentially a reworking of the old Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters are on Maple Street." But it's way fun, full of those great visual/aural Dante references and still has to do with what it's like to have a crematorium in your basement.
I think it's one of Dante's forgotten movies now (like Matinee or Innerspace), but it is one of my favorites, despite of my natural dislike of Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks was pretty cool in the Green Mile.

Don't like him. Just don't like Tom Hanks.

I just enjoy this movie. It reminds me so much of the neighborhood in which I grew up. Everybody took extreme care of their yards, and it seemed like all the neighbors had strange little habits. For anybody who ever wondered what their neighbors are always up to and suspicious what extraordinary activities your borders have, this movie will be funny!

I think a lot of us that grew up in suburbia can sort of relate to this movie. I for one love it. It's such a great satirical dark comedic piece.
