GET OFF MY LAWN is a new Tubi Original that you do not want to miss out on. It’s a thriller, but the kind that has a kitsch vibe and dark comedy. Basically, my kind of thing. Also, it’s a fairly small cast, but the casting is stellar.

From dream home to complete nightmare

In Get Off My Lawn, we meet a sweet suburban couple who cannot believe their luck as they’ve won with a lowball offer on their dream home. A few conditions accepted by them made them come out on top.

However, what really made the sellers choose them was a letter in which they promised to make this a real family home. The grandson of the previous owner, who passed away recently, is there to greet them as they arrive.

His name is Alec, and he has an old-school look and charm.

However, he also has a darker edge to his behavior. One you might ignore because his girlfriend and his childhood friend come across as very normal teenagers, so you might assume he’s just a little weird, but okay.

This would be a big mistake. Huge.

The kid is clearly troubled and will make the new homeowners struggle to feel at home. And then they will start to feel terrified.

Brilliant casting

As the story in Get Off My Lawn moves from being weird pranks and strange behavior by a teenage boy to real danger, the casting becomes paramount: If the characters aren’t portrayed in a believable manner, then it will all fall flat.

Fortunately, the casting of this movie is on point.

From the sweet young homeowner portrayed by Camila Banus and Tahj Mowry to the weirdly charming and extremely dangerous Alec portrayed by Jonah Hwang.

To me, Jonah Hwang has the same quality as the two young men from Milk & Serial, which is a huge compliment. I highly recommend that movie (find our review here)

The vibe of this movie is obvious from the opening scene, where we see the real estate agent (Melissa Jo Bailey) introduce the house to us. We’re seeing her from the point of view of the potential buyer, and she is an experience in her own right. Wow!

Even their new next-door neighbor, a classic Karen (though her name is Catherine in the movie), is portrayed wonderfully by Christine Dunford.

Amara Cash is the director of Get Off My Lawn. From this movie alone, I can tell she is clearly my kind of filmmaker. In other words, I need to check out her previous work while waiting for whatever comes next.

Not unlike Jem Garrard, Tubi could be a place where people discover her work. And, not to throw shade at Tubi, but hopefully, both will be able to move on to bigger budgets and venues.

The screenplay for Get Off My Lawn comes from Arland Digirolamo and Alana Wexler, who (according to IMDb, anyway) are relative or complete newcomers. If the vibe of the story comes from the writers and the director, then I look forward to more from them.

For me, Get Off My Lawn is perfect for a Friday night. A kitsch genre movie that gets quite bloody along the way. Complete with a sinister character, who comes across as very charming, but in a deeply disturbing way.

Get Off My Lawn is on Tubi from July 11, 2025.
