Disturbia
Basic Intro to the movie
After the horrific death of his father, Kale Breacht becomes a very different person. After punching his teacher, he is put under house arrest and can only travel a certain distance in his garden without the police arriving at his door. To occupy himself he starts spying on his neighbours, but one night he sees things which make him very suspicious. As he watched out his window, he believes he witnessed a murder by one of his neighbours, and from then all with stop at nothing to prove it's true.
My Opinion
I am one of those people who will not buy a DVD if it's got a cover that doesn't appeal to me, and this DVD was one of them. It didn't grab my attention at first glance; however, we wanted a horror and ended up just grabbing it, not knowing anything about it. After I started watching it, I starting getting really interested and I then ended up glued to the TV until it was over. The storyline was brilliant, something I have never heard of before, which I liked, as well as the acting, it was fantastic. Kale was played by Shia LaBeouf, and his acting was superb, he made you feel for the character and understand his feelings throughout the movie. Throughout the movie I was like "OMG is he going to do that, that's so not safe…." I was really getting into it abit much lol. So I loved the main actor - he was someone I had not heard of before, and I always like seeing new actors in movies, to see how good they are. There are a lot of wee jumps and jolts throughout which do make you jump, and all are well timed with the suspense of the film,
Its one of those movies where you think " What if my neighbours are like that …"
The cast:
Shia LaBeouf - Kale Breacht David Morse - Robert Turner Sarah Roemer - Ashley Viola Davis - Dective Parker
The cast are brilliant in this movie - they really bring out the suspense throughout. Kale and his friends explore to find out if there is any weird goings on over in their neighbours Robert Turners house. Kale watches from his bedroom and does all the planning while his friends do the dirty work. Kale watches as his friends lives could be in possible danger. As no one believes them, it's up to them to get the proof. Sarah Roemer stars as Ashley, the girl next door, who get to know Kale and decides she will help him with his suspicions, she at first doesn't believe him but offers to help, until she then sees things which are not right….. Kales frustration grows throughout as no one will believe him, no one with importance like the police or his mother. Shias portrays his stress very well, the audience can feel for the character.
Ok - I think it was a fantastic film, very unusual and something I usually would never go for, however this time I am glad I did - it will teach me to not judge a dvd by its cover Highly recommended by myself and my fiancé, well worth watching, it's a great horror, quite chilling in some areas and very enjoyable.

"The storyline was brilliant, something I have never heard of before". Umm, "Rear Window"...?
Advantages: Pretty decent performances, suspenseful at times, Disadvantages: Predictable, formulaic teen movie, apparently tries to be funny but I didn't feel that worked

Review of Disturbia (DVD)
Advantages: Terrific tension built up throughout the film, excellent performances all round. Disadvantages: Slow to get going, build up is gradual and this may put some viewers off.
