Prismark10 Disturbia is an updated teen remake of Rear Window. With an eye on the slacker humour market, director D J Caruso fails to make it tense or exciting or thrilling. It is not the first movie where a horny teenager thinks he has a suspicious neighbour but this is a poor one.Kale (Shia LaBeouf) has not got over the car accident that killed his father. A year later, Kale lashes out at his Spanish teacher and is sentenced to 3 months under house arrest with an electronic tag on his leg.Out of boredom Kale starts to spy on his neighbours. The sexy teen Ashley (Sarah Roemer) who is soon attracted to him. However Kale notices that creepy neighbour Mr Turner (David Morse) is acting suspicious at a time when there are news reports of a serial killer at large. Kale thinks he has seen Mr Turner kill a young woman at the house and he is now showing an interest in dating Kale's mother.Kale, Ashley and school friend Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) investigate him but Robert soon becomes suspicious that he is being watched.This is a limp hackneyed thriller that is slow to get going and then goes off the rails at the climax. The director thinks we would be more interested in teenagers hooking up or even worse Kale doing stupid things such as chasing after some kid pranksters so he keeps breaching the conditions of his house arrest.

Austin Ballard It was an exciting premise, but my problem with it was that it was fascinating and riveting for the entire beginning and middle of the film, but the ending seemed too rushed and didn't feel satisfying.

SlyGuy21 I wouldn't classify this as a horror movie, more of a modernized Hitchcock film. The suspense and tension slowly build, and Shia LaBeouf is perfectly cast. I can't imagine anyone else but him in the role of Kale. It's a shame that LaBeouf's career appears to have stopped for the time being, because I really like him in this movie, his performance is very close to what I imagine a teenager put in this situation would be like. It manages to be creepy, but in a PG-13 environment, which is certainly unheard of nowadays. It may have a few jump-scares, and David Morse is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to your face, but I like the concept and the execution. But seriously, could Morse be anymore obvious? Like, I know in the beginning it's supposed to be circumstantial evidence against him, but his mannerisms and creepy behavior is so out there, that it's painfully obvious he's the killer. The jump-scares and obvious antagonist aside though, the film is very well executed. It's short, sweet, entertaining, and an interesting concept.

gwnightscream This 2007 thriller stars Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Roemer, Carrie-Anne Moss and David Morse. This focuses on troubled teen, Kale Brecht (LaBeouf) who has just lost his father in a car accident. He ends up under house arrest after assaulting his teacher. He tries keeping himself occupied around the house and decides to spy on the neighborhood. Soon, he suspects his neighbor, Robert Turner (Morse) is a serial killer, but also finds romance with Ashley Carlson (Roemer), the new girl next door in the process. Moss (the Matrix) plays Kale's mom, Julie. This isn't a bad thriller with a bit of dramatic moments mixed in. The cast is decent and the film is sort of a modernized version of "Rear Window." I recommend this.
