A suburbia where everything's perfect to a definitely creepy extent because the people are secretly robots? Somebody already wrote a novel about that [1] and it was made into a movie multiple times [2] [3].

For the same reason that The Stepford Wives was a creepy movie? There's a place near my town where they clear cut all the tree off the top of a mountain. Then, they built hundreds of houses and townhouses that all look exactly the same. Every time I drive through there I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. The entire place makes the hair on my neck stand on end just due to the sterile and fake nature of the entire place. It feels planned by committee, abnormal, and out of place, not like a place that grew up naturally over time.
Most hated movie = "The Stepford Wives"? surprising. I really liked it. Would be interesting to see if it's a man/woman divide at work. imdb rating is 5.1/10 :/ I can think of far worse movies. Try "The Talented Mr. Ripley".
